“My wife and I feel very comfortable. It was great working with someone who worked at Dofasco – we’re family. Fred knows Dofasco and explained everything to us in terms we could understand and helped us invest our Dofasco pension money safely.”
Investment Philosophy
Fred has deep roots in the community and a great appreciation for the issues facing families. He has always believed that what the majority of hardworking families want is to improve the quality of life for themselves and their family. With respect to investment advice and retirement planning people want low-risk and reasonably priced solutions, honest advice and they want to work with someone they can trust. Fred delivers this everyday to his clients not because it would provide him an advantage, although it will. He has done this and will continue to do this for the fundamental reason that it is the right thing to do. That’s what will continue to set Fred apart from other financial advisors.
