Our Investment Philosophy:
Our style and belief as Investment Advisors is to build portfolios for clients with a tactical core. This gives us the ability to make asset-class changes that allow us to take advantage of market shifts. We also believe in complimenting the tactical core of the portfolio by buying strategic investments that will further enhance returns on the upside, while also protecting returns on the downside. These two components are rebalanced as necessary to keep in line with the portfolio's asset allocation relative to long-term returns. 

On the equity side, our preference is for quality companies that pay dividends. Canadian content is important, but we always try to keep an eye on the world. Whether it be Income, Value or Growth; we look to buy at a reasonable price. 

At the heart of our philosophy is a disciplined process that includes not only the regular review of client portfolios, but also the regular assessment of each client’s situation by profiling their risk tolerance. This process helps to ensure that the asset allocation is suitable. 

We are a group of client focused financial service professionals, with over 50 years experience in the financial services industry. 

Experience and know-how matters, understanding that your concerns and requests are important and need to be taken seriously, this is our focus. Our team will always respect the task at hand and the client we are dealing with.

Supporting the communities within which we work

 

At IPC, we built IPC Cares to bring together the various efforts we make towards enhancing the communities within which we operate. By adopting causes that are close to our hearts, we keep ourselves committed and accountable.

Last year alone, as a company, we supported the aid efforts on the Fort McMurray fires, palliative care through The Healing Cycle Foundation and women and children through The Salvation Army.

Perhaps the most significant effort we undertake, and one that we believe is representative of the kind of work that inspires and keeps us committed to our CSR efforts, is the community development project in Honduras with The Carpenteros & Friends. Last year’s project involved a group of IPC staff and Advisors volunteering their time and energy on the ground. Very little is as inspiring and rewarding as living the lives of the people you’re helping, and every one of the people who took the journey came back a changed person, even more determined to stay committed to making a difference in the world!

We also made countless small but significant contributions of our time and resources within our communities through many grassroots charities we believe in, and the ripple effect of their efforts are always rewarding.


 

Cancer is now the number one killer in every province and territory in Canada. Everyone Knows; a David, John, and Sandra they are now missing because of this disease.

We first had The Canadian Red Cross register in 2004 during the aftermath of the Indian Ocean Earthquake and the subsequent Tsunami. Over 230,000 people lost their lives and countless more were devastated in the aftermath. This was one of the deadliest natural disasters ever recorded.

Through The Canadian Red Cross, we were able to help. These donations were part of the more than $14 billion U.S. that were donated by the worldwide community. Since then I have seen how The Canadian Red cross has been able to help people in distress both at home in Canada and around the world. From "Katrina through Haiti to Turkey", The Canadian Red Cross helps in so many ways. Please visit The Canadian Red Cross to learn more about this organization.
