Our founder, Donald Papineau had a belief that everyone should live life to the fullest no matter what life throws at you and that clients should be treated as people, not just another number. Most of us know all too well how financial reasons can put a damper on your goals and how other commitments can make life feel like it's passing you by. Therefore, it is our commitment to provide high quality investment services, using highly rated investment vehicles and giving the utmost detail to personal service. We want people to come to us because of our knowledge, friendliness and trust and we will do what we can to earn that.
