At the risk of sounding trite, 'd say that there are those who spend more lime planning their vacations than they do planning their retirement". This is a concern for Corinna McKnight of Integrity lnvestments of Whitby, she fèels that in light of looming govemment deficits, inflation, the uncertainty of the availability of govemment pensions in the future and the increasing tax burden on the individual, astute financial management is absolutely critical to'one's quality of Ife down the road. The impact of inflation on one's savings, just as one example, is easily demonstrated. For every percentage point an investment portfolio grows, il must be adjusted downward to account for the erosion of the purchasing power of the dollar. If for example, you eamn $40,000. per year, in ten years you would have to eamn $59,21 0. to retain the same purchasing? power you have today, assuming an anhual 4%/1 rate of inflation. In 25 years, that amount would rise to $106,663. Integrity Investments can help make the difference Coninna offers a variey of services and professional advice ranging from portfolio management to tax reduction strategies 10 estate planning. As Canadians have less and less time available for their ever more complex legal, financial and tax affairs, this service is becoming increasingly valuable.g Whatever their financial situation, or level of investment experience, Corinna works with her clients to assess their personal objectives and recommend a strategy that's right« for their needs. Corinna says."Having spent the past 8 years providing financial planning advice to clients, N'e found that what prevents many people from taking control of their financial. destiny, is skepticismn and fear. 1 will help to dispel those fears by providing the information required. 1 encourage clients to ask questions and take a thorough approach 10 investment planning". In selecting financial products for an investiment plan, Corinna has access to the more than 900 mutual fund products that are sold in Canada today, as welI as individual stocks and bonds' which means her clients receive considerable advice on the full range of investfmients. Many potential investors work with a representative from a' ban o trstcompany, ànd as a result only receive advice on the very small range of fdssold by ' hat institution. However, as a full-service ' Cormnna McKnight financial advisor, lntegrity lnvestments offers up-to-the-minute market advice and a commitment to ongoing client service that extends weIl beyond the initial purchase of, a mutual fund, stock or bond, and also includes Ide insurancei, disability insurance, group and health insurance through roughly 200 insurance companies in Canada. Unbi"ased financial advice After graduating from the University of Toronto, Connna worked with a major Trust Company and has training and experience in portfolio management, retirement and estate planning. But, Corinna felt the need 10 take service one step further, "In as much as banks and trust companies, have many produots and services, 1 came to realize that not one company can objectively address'the complete investrment, estate and insurancerneeds of their clients. As an independent Financial Advisor, I offer complete financial planning services. M y objective is to provide my cliente with unbiased financial adice. My clients enjoy detailed planning as well as a hands on approach 10 portfolio ma nagement 1 review portfolios regularly and onîy invest with my client's objectives and best interesis in mmnd'.
