Every day financial advisors deliver a wide range of key services – from investment advice and financial planning to retirement planning and savings strategies.
Research has shown that Investors who work with advisors are more prepared for retirement and have greater satisfaction with their financial well being, versus non-advised households.¹
At Dynamic Funds, financial advice and performance go hand in hand.
That's why we believe Legitimately Active Management® and performance are essential to investing success.
Financial Advice helps Canadians feel more confident about their financial future.
When it comes to investing and saving for retirement, we could all probably use a little help.
Did you know that nearly 6 out of 10 Canadians worry about their finances every week?²
A financial advisor can help build assets for a more comfortable retirement, maintain a long-term investment strategy, and avoid emotional investing habits. They have the knowledge and experience to help clients build diversified portfolios that can thrive in a variety of market environments – and perhaps help you sleep better at night.
Dynamic Funds firmly believes that Legitimately Active Management® matters. We consider it to be the cornerstone of efficient portfolio construction.
Truly active management offers:
a definable method for growing wealth;
real value to investors for the fees they are charged;
investor-specific solutions, not just products; and
protection for investors from the mistakes of the herd.
Active stock pickers outperformed their benchmark indices even after fees, whereas closet indexers underperformed.
