Building, Protecting & Preserving Your Wealth

Comprehensive advice for growing your savings, planning your retirement, and protecting your legacy in Northern Ontario, without the sales pressure.

Who We Help

We specialize in working with three groups in Northern Ontario who deserve straightforward, honest advice.

The Hybrid Investment Advantage

We don't believe in "one size fits all." We combine low-fee global growth with institutional-grade safety to build a retirement plan that actually works.

1. Low-Fee Growth

For your long-term assets (RRSPs, TFSAs). We partner with Modern Advisor to build you a globally diversified ETF portfolio.

  • No expensive mutual fund fees
  • Smart, automated rebalancing
  • 100% digital access 24/7

2. Guaranteed Safety

For money you can't afford to lose (Pension transfers, RRIFs). We use Segregated Funds to protect your principal.

  • Principal & Maturity Guarantees
  • Bypass Probate & Estate Fees
  • Potential Creditor Protection
PRIVATE WEALTH SERVICES

Portfolio Manager Collaboration

Have a larger portfolio? We can partner you directly with a dedicated, CFA-designated Portfolio Manager from Modern Advisor. You get institutional-grade strategy execution while I remain your dedicated wealth strategist.

Skyler Chartrand

I'm a licensed financial security advisor born and raised in Northern Ontario. I have my MBA from Laurentian University, and I've worked in mining, project management, and the financial industry. I'm a young father, a union member, and I understand what it takes to build a life up here.

I went independent because I wanted to serve my clients with integrity, not corporate sales quotas. If you're looking for honest advice from someone who gets it, let's talk.
