A PERSONAL NOTE

Out of respect for your time in visiting this detailed blog here is a thumbnail of my motivation:

My professional training and experience is in structural engineering.
We fabricated and erected numerous highrise structural fameworks for general contractors and commercial developers. Structural steel requires concrete to be "wrapped" around it to be fireproof.

Upon the gradual economic move by the building industry away from the use of structural steel to concrete for fireproofing purposes (The Twin Towers in NYC collapsed on 9/11 because the intense heat from the airplane fuel weakened the structural steel frameworks to the point of collapse) I made a decision to apply the rigorous professional practice education, training, experience and discipline I applied for many years in the steel industry to the financial services industry.

My decision was based upon a simple premise:

The same mind that ensured structural safety for those individuals who occupied the buildings our steel structures supported could insure "structural" financial safety to support the lifetime accumulation of capital and income needs of individuals whose retirement was imminent.

The pre eminent demographic group who are now retiring in unprecedented numbers are the Boomer generation in Canada with 14,000,000 in Canada and 76,000,000 in the USA.

Over the last 30 years I have devoted my professional life successfully to assuring structural financial certainty to this financial objective.

During the last quarter of 2008 the seismic collapse of the US mortgage market and the global financial credit markets and the erosion that has taken place as a result in the securities and other financial markets have brought into unequivocal focus a clear personal understanding of men and women globally of the uncompromising need for "structural" financial instruments which put a "floor" below which market forces can not destroy capital assets necessary for lifetime income.

That has been and is our work and our passion.

We have been successful in our efforts.

Here is our value proposition to the 10,000,000 boomers entering retirement in Canada:

Age 60 is on your radar.

“Will you be O.K.?”

Are you fully prepared for the next 30 years?

Give us 5 minutes.

We’ll give you 30 years!
