What We Do

Our Guiding Principles

Established in 2007, Gold Investment Management is a registered portfolio manager currently serving clients in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. Gold Investment Management also serves clients in the United States where we are registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The minimum investment size for new accounts is $100,000 of investable, household assets.

Integrity

Gold Investment Management is proud to employ investment professionals who have earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation. Since it was first introduced in 1963, the Chartered Financial Analyst designation, or CFA charter, has become a respected and recognized investment credential.

Discipline

We begin by developing an investment policy statement – an investment road map. We then concentrate on strategic investment management decisions such as asset allocation, sector selection and credit cycle. Finally, we employ tactical methods in an attempt to profit from volatility and restore portfolio balance.

Results

By combining Gold Investment Management’s disciplined investment management methods with potentially tax efficient investments such as exchange traded funds (ETFs), we expect to deliver competitive results. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss your investment needs.

  • Benefits

    Fiduciary
    Responsibility

    Portfolio managers have a fiduciary duty to act with care, honesty and good faith, always in the best interest of their clients. Investment decisions therefore must be independent and free of bias. This results in a higher level of trust placed on portfolio managers.

  • Benefits

    Professional Qualifications

    Portfolio managers with discretionary authority are required to have the highest level of education and experience in the investment industry.

  • Benefits

    Personalized
    Management

    Portfolio managers provide ongoing investment management of clients’ investments based on their investment needs and objectives, restrictions, financial circumstances, risk tolerance, time horizon and other relevant factors which are often outlined in an Investment Policy Statement (IPS). Clients typically give discretionary authority to the portfolio manager to make investment decisions without getting prior approval for each transaction (called discretionary management).

  • Benefits

    Fees

    Portfolio managers typically charge a fee based on a percentage of the investments they manage. This fee is transparent and can be less than retail management and distribution costs, which are often embedded as a cost of doing business. It’s important to note that clients’ assets must reside at a custodian financial institution for an extra layer of protection and safety and there is usually a small additional fee for this service. Fees are fully transparent on client statements. Fees are not paid by commission based on volume of buying or selling investments and can be lower than typical mutual fund fees.

  • Benefits

    IPS & IMA

    Investment Policy Statement (IPS) and Investment Management Agreement (IMA). An individual written agreement will be established to set out how clients will work with a portfolio manager, including ongoing communication, types of investments, reporting, fees, risks and other issues related to clients’ individual circumstances.

  • Benefits

    Registration

    Both the firm and the individual who is managing clients’ investments are registered and subject to oversight by provincial securities commissions.

  • Benefits

    Legal Requirements

    Firms registered as portfolio managers must meet strict financial reporting, capital and insurance requirements to further protect clients’ investments.
