DCF Team

Helping you meet your financial goals and fulfill your life plans is what drives our team members to excel. Every day, they're locked in on meeting your needs and exceeding your expectations.

We're a team of wealth management specialists that mainly serve clients in Montreal and the Montérégie region. Through our diverse and complementary expertise, we're able to offer you comprehensive and personalized wealth management services.

People-focused

Each investment advisor on our team works with an associate advisor to manage a limited number of clients. This ensures that our clients receive the personalized support they deserve.

We manage more than $880 million in assets for professionals, entrepreneurs, farmers, management companies and individual retirees.

Our clients' personal goals guide our decisions and the services we offer.

Mission

We aim to provide our clients with full peace of mind regarding management of their wealth. To achieve this, we strive each day to fulfil their long-term financial goals, to remain transparent and to provide fast, precise service.

Investment Philosophy

At all times, our team seeks to diversify your capital and minimize risk. We do not engage in speculation.

We attach great importance to a portfolio’s structure and its diversification. Good asset allocation is a decisive factor in performance, as many studies show. We take account of the tax rules governing financial products to minimize the tax impact.

We believe a stock portfolio’s performance depends largely on the quality of the corporate securities it contains. We therefore favour solid companies with obvious competitive advantages, strong earnings and above-average long-term growth.

What sets us apart

We offer our clients a level of expertise matching the best in the industry as well as a flexible approach, aiming always for a balance between performance, low volatility, fee reduction and tax optimization.

Values

  • Availability means being here for you and serving you the way we want to be served.
  • Transparency means building a relationship with you that's based on trust.
  • Rigour means exercising great care both intellectually and operationally.
  • Efficiency and curiosity mean offering you the best advisory services and solutions that fit your needs.
  • Simplicity means providing guidance so you can make the best investment choices.

Service Offer

  • Portfolio management that stays true to your investor profile
  • Discretionary management
  • Tax optimization of retirement income
  • Retirement preparation
  • Company cash and currency management
  • Financial, tax or estate1 planning

If required by your file, we collaborate with the specialists you have selected (accountants, tax specialists, legal advisors and others), or we mandate specialists from Desjardins.

We offer compensation plans to fit your needs and reduce costs, based on a formula of traditional commissions and/or asset-based fees.
