For qualified investors, Fisher Investments Canada can help you evaluate whether or not your existing investment portfolio is the best option to help you achieve your long-term financial goals.i We can also help you establish your long-term goals and recommend an optimal asset allocation to meet those needs.
For nearly four decades, the Fisher organisation has been managing assets and providing wealth management advice to help people invest in global investment markets with confidence and discipline.
Fisher Investments Canada believes that a solid investing strategy should fit your personal situation and help you attain your your long-term financial goals. We also believe your financial adviser should have the agility to help you navigate changing market conditions. For example, if your adviser expects shares of large companies to do better than smaller ones, bigger firms should be emphasised in your portfolio.
We can help you evaluate your current portfolio to confirm your investment strategy is a viable option to help you meet your long-term goals. In our professional portfolio evaluations we help you understand your asset allocation, which may include some or all of the following assets:
Whether you have been investing for years or are just starting to think about retirement, Fisher Investments Canada may be able to help.
There are many factors that can contribute to your ability to reach your financial goals. Here are some questions to consider when evaluating your individual situation, goals and investment strategy:
Be sure to consider these points and have clear answers to these questions. Over time, each of these factors could greatly impact your portfolio's ability to meet your long-term goals.
Fisher Investments Canada believes approximately 70% of a long-term investment portfolio return is attributable to asset allocation, 20% is attributable to sub-asset allocation decisions—which countries, company sizes or market sectors to invest in—and the remaining 10% of long-term return is attributable to individual security selection.
We emphasize the asset allocation decision—the 70%—because we believe the first and most important decision is which asset classes you should invest in. These decisions will greatly impact your long-term return. Despite potential short-term market volatility, it is often more beneficial to remain invested and stick to your long-term investment strategy unless you have a clear and well-researched reason to be out of the market.
Your asset allocation decision is crucial to your long-term success. If you require stocks’ long-term growth potential—whether for your own retirement or to pass on to a spouse or children—you may need to resist the urge to invest in less-volatile, lower-yielding assets, such as bonds or savings accounts. While this approach may seem comforting at times, it can detract from your long-term returns, which may not be sufficient if you need higher long-term growth to achieve your goals. Our professionals can help evaluate your situation and provide a thorough recommendation for your optimal long-term investment strategy.
Fisher Investments Canada has provided portfolio reviews to many investors, and our initial portfolio evaluation service considers a wide variety of factors to assess your current portfolio and recommend an investment portfolio strategy best-suited to meet your needs.

This step helps frame the analysis relative to what you need from your portfolio over time. We then assess your current investment portfolio’s asset allocation, diversification and fee structure. This in-depth analysis helps evaluate how your investment portfolio might meet your goals or where it might fall short.
Following the portfolio review, you will receive a recommendation on how you might alter your investment portfolio to better align with your long-term investing goals.
