Questionnaire and / or free 15 - 30 minute telephone interview will be provided in advance to clarify your needs.
Retirement Plan
If you are looking specifically for retirement planning, the retirement plan is suitable for you. This would include the investment considerations, severance pay, life changes, pension advice, estate planning, retirement income needs, projections including cash flow and tax considerations. This would include a written summary, detailed portfolio spreadsheets and a follow up meeting for plan execution. This can be done individually or as a family with no change in cost or service.
Fee: $1592.92 + $207.08 HST = $1,800.
Investment Plan
If you need to create or substantially change your investment situation, this plan would be suitable for you. Considerations include risk, fees, implementation, tax situation, country, sector and asset class exposure, timing and personal preferences and goals or dreams that you want to fulfill. This would include a written summary, detailed portfolio spreadsheets and a follow up meeting for plan execution. This can be done individually or as a family with no change in cost or service.
Fee: $1592.92 + $207.08 HST = $1,800.
Annual or One-Time Review
If you have an existing portfolio and would like a second look to see if you are on track to meet your goals, an annual review is suitable for you. This would include minor changes such as adding or deleting one or two products from your portfolio or obtaining general advice on what you already have. This can be done individually or as a family with no change in cost or service.
If you are currently a client of Joe the Investor, the annual review would be used for re-balancing your portfolio each year, or to check if anything has changed since the most recent plan was created. If you would like to review your financial situation to see if you are on the right track, would like a second opinion, or confirmation of your current plan, the one-time review would be ideal for you. The process would entail a questionnaire and a single meeting to discuss any aspect of your financial situation including investments, retirement, taxes, estate planning or implementation of your plan. There would not be a written summary or calculation sheet provided for a one-time review.
Fee: $707.96 + $92.04 HST = $800.
Advice For a Flat Hourly Fee
If you want advice on a specific topic or want to ask questions in a "Q and A" type format for a specific decision that you want to make, this option may be for you. Common questions would include renting versus buying a home, paying student debt versus investing, contributing to an RRSP versus paying down debt, whether to get a TFSA account and what options you would have for your pension plan. There would be a 1 hour minimum time allotment charged at the hourly rate. There would not be a written summary or calculation sheet received for this type of advice.
Fee: $159.29 + $20.71 HST = $180 per hour.
Complete Financial Plan
This type of plan includes investment and retirement considerations, as well as taxation, budgeting, saving money, estate planning, customized projects such as investment properties and business planning, and one on one education about how money works for your situation. It is assumed that you have done very little planning and need to build all aspects of your financial plan from scratch. This would include a written summary, detailed portfolio spreadsheets and a follow up meeting for plan execution.
Fee: $2477.88 + $322.12 HST = $2800.
Follow Up Session: (As Many As Is Required)
Follow up sessions can be conducted via an annual review or an hourly arrangement.
Fee: $159.29 + $20.71 HST = $180 per hour.
