At the Cottage Country Group, we focus on building long-term relationships with clients. With the majority of clients, who are retired or planning retirement, we work to achieve what we like to describe as "retirement peace of mind" - in other words, the financial security that allows you to fully enjoy a worry-free retirement in cottage country. With most clients, we start by developing a comprehensive financial or retirement plan to help you achieve your individual financial goals - whether these are funding a certain monthly retirement income, or saving for major purchases, such cars and trips. Then we sit down regularly with clients to review your plan and to make sure you are on track. We really operate as the quarterback of the client's financial team. We have close relationships with lawyers and chartered accountants, so that when a client needs their special expertise we can call on them for advice. The Cottage Country Group practices a conservative investment philosophy. For most clients, preservation of capital is a primary concern. You need all your financial resources to achieve your retirement and other financial objectives - without putting these assets unduly at risk. We work with clients to achieve realistic and appropriate growth objectives while minimizing risk.
