What Makes Second Opinion Different?

Choosing Second Opinion can help you to:

Confirm that your investments are on track to meet your financial goals.

  1. Take action to reduce risk and improve return — before it's too late.
  2. Ask the right questions of your investment advisors, and
  3. Determine whether your investment portfolio is designed as efficiently as it should be, to achieve your goals.
 
 
Remember:
  • Financial advisors do not always recognize their own mistakes.
  • Getting a second opinion makes sense for your physical health — it makes sense for your financial health, too.

 
How is the advice you get from Second Opinion different from that of a financial advisor?

We do not sell investment products of any kind and therefore we are not influenced by the need to earn commissions.

  1. We do not manage investments and therefore we have no desire to get you to switch your investment account from your existing financial advisor.
  2. Our opinion is based on both practical experience and education. Warren MacKenzie, founder, has over twenty years of experience in the industry. He is a Chartered Accountant, a Certified Financial Planner, and a Certified Investment Management Analyst. In addition, Ken Hawkins, VP of Research and Development, has experience as a portfolio manager for the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan where he managed a 500 million dollar portfolio of Canadian equities.
  3. Our only source of income is the fee that you pay and therefore our loyalty and fiduciary duty is to you alone.
