Why Should You Do Business With Us?
INDEPENDENCE
This means absolutely no ties to any proprietary investments. We always select the best public or private investment solution without any bias whatsoever. What matters is cost vs benefit and best in class solutions for you - as opposed to anyone else.
WE ARE TRANSPARENT
There are never any additional embedded fees or hidden compensation. We are fully transparent. The only costs you ever pay is shown on your monthly statements.
CARE & CONSIDERATION
There is a saying “no one cares what you know until they know that you care”. Never has this been more applicable than in investment management or medical situations. I strongly believe no one will care more about your money/wealth creation and account management (outside of you and your loved one) than us. With decades of experience, we have the client testimonials, references and ongoing advocacy for our services to prove it!

An Institutional Approach to Investing
At Prittie Private Wealth, our investment approach is based on the concept that since the needs of the high net worth and institutional investor are the same as the average investor, the portfolio profiles should be similar.
Institutional/HNW Asset Allocation Wealth is created not only in the public markets, but also by private businesses.
The largest and most successful institutions in the world like the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) which manages over $183 Billion for the benefit of every Canadian has altered their asset mix in recent years to include private/alternative investments. The Canadian Exempt (private) Market raised $142.91 billion in capital in 2011 alone.
The world’s most successful institutions and high net worth investors have been investing in this space for generations and have achieved uncorrelated above average rates of return utilizing an asset mix combining traditional public as well as private and alternative investment solutions.
The investment objectives of successful, large institutions and those of high net-worth investors are as follows:
Is your objective not the same? If so, why aren’t your portfolios the same?
To help bridge the gap in this apparent dysfunctionality, we offer a very wide array of investment solutions including:
If appropriate for your portfolio, given your objectives, time horizon and liquidity needs, you may want to consider investing in a similar manner.
