What our clients are saying...

We appreciate Sherman's timely review reminders and how meetings are always in a relaxed and non rushed manner. The friendship and trust we have developed with Sherman and his Team has helped us to understand that a plan needs to be massaged and modified in response to global market fluctuations and the unpredictable changes which are part of our lives…

I am absolutely delighted with the professionalism Sherman and his team have given me over the years. It is really refreshing to work with a financial adviser who is truly interested in their client’s needs, circumstances and preferences. What really impressed me was the way you took the time to get a feeling for where I was at, your depth of knowledge, lateral thinking and common sense approach. Your professional, ethical and caring demeanor elicits my trust and respect and I gladly recommend your services whenever possible...

Being faced with my husband's cancer diagnosis is devastating – our family will never be the same. I am so thankful to not have to worry about money at this time. While I never thought we would need it, I am so glad that Sherman recommended the Critical Illness and Life Insurance coverage we have. The Critical Illness policy payout has given us the freedom to make memories, take a couple trips and focus on the time we have together. The Life Insurance gives me comfort in the knowledge that I will be able to take care of my family long term…

The other consideration that I never anticipated was that once I retired my portfolio could still continue to grow and add to the fixed income of my CPP and OAS. It gives me a sense of security to have a life plan, see a blueprint for how my financial wealth can survive as long as I might need it and to continue to have your advice to counsel me...

Over the past 20 years Sherman has demonstrated solid financial advice for both my RRSP and RESP. He takes the time to ensure all investment goals and strategies align. I would not hesitate to recommend Sherman for sound financial planning.

We've been pleased with the conscientious service, thorough follow-up, and information that Sherman has given us . It's good to have someone, like Sherman Friesen, who is trustworthy and we can rely on to work in our best interests.

Our Financial Advisor's name is Sherman Friesen who has become a very patient and caring friend over the years. The funds he recommended are doing great and both my husband and I are very thankful that we were blessed in finding such an understanding and thoughtful advisor whose advice we trust.
