WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I connected with Ray to discuss a strategy for my retirement and I couldn’t feel more confident and pleased in the plan he created for me as well as his service. He was extremely professional, strategic and honest. I’m thrilled to have found such a knowledgeable and trustworthy Portfolio Manager to help me reach my investment and retirement goals. He provided sound guidance and highlighted financial strategies that I haven't received from any other wealth management advisor. I would highly recommend Ray to anyone looking to strengthen their investment and retirement goals further.
Aida Juodis
I have been working with Ray for about five years now managing my investment portfolios. There are a few things that stand out with Ray and the service I receive.
First, being independent Ray is not restricted to any specific proprietary product. He can access a variety of investments that are helping meet my family’s goals and objectives. Second, he is focused on generating income with an eye on capital preservation and tax efficiency, which so far has been successful. Ray not only uses Closed End Funds (CEFs) to generate reliable income at discounted prices, he also introduced me to covered call strategies that make sense. Finally, his approach to management fees leaves more money in my accounts to grow over the long term.
I enjoy working with Ray and discussing “where the puck is going” and adjusting as market conditions change. His level of client service is impressive. Ray is not the type of advisor to hide behind voicemail and he returns messages in a timely manner which is refreshing.
D. Ghose, Head of Research, Canaccord Genuity (ret.)
Ray and his team have been incredibly supportive through the process of learning about how different investments work, and getting started into finding a way to successfully invest in our future. I would recommend anyone considering learning more about investments all the way to seasoned professionals to work with this amazing and knowledgeable team.

Commissions may also be charged in addition to the management fee.
The following is a sample of what a sliding fee schedule will look like and could be subject to a minimum charge.
first $500K @ 1.50% = $7,500
next $250K @ 1.25% = $3,125
next $250K @ 1.00% = $2,500
$1M+ @0.50% = $5,000
$1M managed = $13,125
Fees in these circumstances should also be tax deductible for non-registered accounts.

Mutual funds are a great vehicle to get you started on the road to saving for your future. Mutual fund fees vary greatly between the type (equity vs bond) and “class” of fund.
Morningstar’s new study found that Canadians pay some of the highest fund fees globally.
The median for allocation funds came in at 1.94% and 1.98% for equity funds.$250,000 @ 1.94% = $4,850
$400,000 @ 1.94% = $7,760
$500,000 @ 1.94% = $9,700
$1 MIL @ 1.94% = $19,400
Fees charged by mutual fund companies are not tax deductible for any type of account.

ELEMENTARY
Methodology.
five SIMPLE STEPS TO automating INCOMEs
and leveraging technological advances.
1. COSTs.
There are 5 areas where wealth transfers occur:
- How you finance your home purchase.
- Taxes. Don’t pay more than you should.
- Using Retirement plans effectively.
- Savings for Education.
- Paying for Major Capital Purchases
There are saving that can easily be identified in each of the 5 areas. Those saving can then be put to work for the future.
2. L.U.C.K.
To stress how important it is to be able to access your money, PMWS like to use the acronym LUCK.
Liquidity – knowing you can access your money easily.
Use – Accessing your money is for your use and not subject to outside opinion.
Compounding – Having your money compound for your future use in a tax efficient manner.
Knowledge – knowing that your money is working for you and your future and no one else’s.
3. strategy.
After identifying your unique issues and goals, present a strategy that focuses on generating tax efficient income with an eye on risk management.
Earning income and growing your capital is one thing, keeping the most you can after tax is key.
Most people play to win. Some people know that the easiest way to victory is identifying unforced costly errors.
Eliminate these and win by refusing to lose.
4. ExecutiON.
After we present the strategy, it will be put into action across your household accounts, scaled in over an agreed upon time frame. Any areas where wealth transfers are occurring will also be addressed at this stage and a strategy put in place to save those dollars and get them working for you.
Our strategy requires precision and a mini trade desk to work. In Allinde CMP we have a digital tool box, a Swiss army knife for fast, efficient execution of index rebalancing trades.
Please visit our trusted and verified Partners websites.

5. MONITORING.
Unfortunately, many changes to portfolios tend to be made on an emotional level. This is understandable, after all you worked hard to save and invest, and you don’t want to lose.
PWMS removes the emotion by using a rules-based approach to invest for parts of our portfolios. We work hard to choose investments that even if they drop in value temporarily, should continue to comfortably pay out an income stream to our clients.
Market conditions can change almost daily. PMWS are not day traders. We are sensitive to changes in market sentiment. If we feel that there is a need to make changes to the portfolio we will.
TRUSTED PARTNERS.
Please note : Partner services are sold by independent entities or individuals, separate & distinct from PMWS.

Why us?
WHY AN INTEGRATED ADVISORY BUSINESS MODEL IS A WIN-WIN FOR RETIREMENT PRACTITIONERS
Why people change advisors and why would you short list us as a possible choice? What are the advantages of working with us? Here are five reasons to consider:
1. Big Picture perspective
This involves looking at all aspects of your financial situation, including your goals, risk tolerance and overall financial health, in order to create a comprehensive wealth management plan.
2. Fee-Based
Being fee-based means our economic interests are aligned with yours. If you are successful, we are successful. It also means you aren’t tied up for years in complicated products. We are humans, so we have made some mistakes before, but we learned from them, we got better and moved on. We also believe this is the best client-advisor relationship model.
3. I am an Advisor, Not a Salesman
I focus on understanding and meeting your unique needs and goals, and providing personalized recommendations and strategies that are tailored to your individual financial situation.
Let me be radically honest. I am independent advisor, experienced, straightforward and I work for you.
4. Honest and Direct Advice
I pride myself on giving advice that is not only honest, but its also direct. Sometimes, that means giving you recommendations and advice you need to hear. I believe that plain-spoken, direct advice will better help you reach your goals.
5. Evidence Based, Education Driven
Deciding who to work with can be a complicated process.
How do you know who is verifiably trustworthy? We offer free education on important topics. You “can kick our tires.”
However, the best way to know is to join us.
We are confident our initial conversations and complete transparency eliminate any surprises.
In the end, you don’t know what you don’t know.
