Investment Advisor: I have been granted Registration Approval by the Investment Dealers Association of Canada as salesperson in the category of Registered Representative. I am accordingly employed as an Investment Advisor (I.A.) by an Associated Investment Dealer (A.I.D.)
As an I.A. I am engaged to advise and consult with investors resident in Ontario on their securities investments as may be suitable to their individual personal circumstances. I am permitted to recommend and trade in bonds, shares, trust or limited partnership units, options and mutual funds.
Today, I rarely, if ever, deal in options with my clients who are, for the most part , conservative in their investment behaviour. ( I am also licensed to trade in Commodity Futures and Commodity Futures Options, although I no longer do so as my firm does not offer this service to individuals and I'd prefer not to participate in such with my current clientele.)

Insurance Agent: I am also licensed at Level 2 by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario to offer life insurance to residents of Ontario on an independent agent basis.
I consider the use of life insurance in conjunction with a securities portfolio a common sense complementary investment option and vital to well designed personal financial, retirement and estate planning.
