Three decades ago, Mary embarked on a financial journey. After inheriting money from her grandmother, she opened an investment account with Portfolio Management Corporation (PMC). The years passed and because of PMC’s commitment to long-term investment strategies and personalized service, Mary’s inheritance has grown and has helped her achieve not only a comfortable retirement, but true financial peace of mind. Mary’s story is just one example of how PMC helps clients reach their unique financial milestones.

The Ultimate Mission: Providing peace of mind

Managing wealth wisely is essential for achieving financial aspirations. This includes everything from ensuring a secure retirement to saving for a home and building long-term financial stability. Portfolio Management Corporation understands this deeply. “Our aim is to build enduring relationships with our clients, helping them achieve their financial goals and enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a well-managed portfolio,” explains Anish Chopra, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager.

PMC’s investment team has decades of experience. Each Portfolio Manager has the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, in addition to certifications such as MBA, CA, CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant), and CBV (Chartered Business Valuator).

This comprehensive expertise allows them to offer robust and comprehensive wealth management solutions for clients.

PMC’s Approach

As a registered portfolio manager across multiple provinces, PMC adheres to a fiduciary standard. This means their insightful projections, tax optimization strategies, and overall advice always prioritize clients’ best interests. Open communication fosters trust: clients can expect regular updates, in-person or online meetings, and a range of services, from quarterly reports and market commentary to estate planning assistance.

PMC employs a transparent fee structure – a flat 1% for portfolios up to $3 million (notably, fees may be tax-deductible). By avoiding commission-based or transactional compensation, they eliminate potential conflicts of interest and concerns about unnecessary product sales. This ensures that recommendations align with client needs.
