You’ve built a business. Now is the time to own it.

Today, your practice operates within a firm

owned by someone else. Your dealer sets

the rules, shapes the client experience, and

ultimately controls much of the enterprise value

you're helping create.

But there's another path for advisors who want

to take ownership of what they've built.

Establishing your own Portfolio Management firm,

registered directly with provincial securities

regulators rather than operating under a CIRO

dealer, allows you to build and own the business

around your book. Incorporate from Day 1, own

your equity outright, and gain greater control over

your client experience, business strategy and

future.

For many successful advisors, the opportunity is

compelling. What's less clear is how to make it

happen.
