About Us

Thank You

I would like to thank my wonderful clients, who have entrusted me with their hard-earned money, to help them achieve their dreams and goals for over 20 years.

Our Commitment

Professionalism with heart
Attention to details
Exceptional Service
Continuing education to ensure accurate, relevant advice

We bring the human factor into your financial calculations. The relationship is all about you staying focused on your objectives in spite of all the distractions that can derail a financial plan. Financial Planning is a process, not a one-time exercise. That is why we meet with our clients at least once a year.

With the help of my assistants, Steve and Sandra, we make sure to respond to your questions and concerns in a timely manner. We simplify the alphabet soup of the financial world. The most important benefit that we will bring you is peace of mind.

How are we paid?

Manulife offers different fee structures depending on the product and the size of the account. Typically, we are paid by the insurance or investment companies that we recommend. Under some circumstances it may be more advantageous for the client to be charged an advisory fee based on their assets under management.

We will discuss the options available during our first meeting. There is no fee and no obligation for our first meeting.

Steven Wyngaert, B. Comm

Associate Advisor, Manulife Securities Incorporated

Steven grew up on the South Shore of Montreal. He graduated from Concordia University in 2013 from the Coop program majoring in accounting. During his studies he was always working. His first employment was at his grandfather’s campground working anywhere he was needed from the young age of 13 into his early 20s. During his university studies he started working as an auditor at an accounting firm in downtown Montreal. He soon realized that this was not the career for him. Finance was what really intrigued him, so he found employment as an external consultant at an investment firm.

Striving towards personal improvement, he earned several awards while completing his “Skills for Success” training at Dale Carnegie. He was even asked to assist in teaching some classes after his training was completed.

Steven believes that education does not only come from school and books, so he took a year sabbatical to explore another culture and moved to New Zealand.
