Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Who is yourCFO?
yourCFO Advisory Group is a member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), and all client accounts are held by our IIROC Carrying Brokers TD Waterhouse Canada Inc. or MRS Securities Services Inc. (MRSSSI). yourCFO's back office relationship with TDWIS and MRSSSI, a firm controlled by Power Financial, provides your clients with all the security they need with respect to the transfer and custody of their assets.
2. How secure are my investments at yourCFO?
The safety and protection of your investments are of the utmost importance. yourCFO Advisory Group (yourCFO) and our Carrying Brokers MRS Securities Services Inc. (MRSSSI) and TD Waterhouse Canada Inc. are all member firms of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF www.cipf.ca).
CIPF is sponsored by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC www.iiroc.ca) and provides clients of member firms with asset protection of up to $1 million in the case of a member firm’s insolvency. According to CIPF, even if your assets exceed $1 million, it is unlikely that you will suffer a loss as industry regulations require all yourCFO client securities be held by our carriers TDW and MRSSSI in acceptable locations, like the CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., or in the case of mutual funds, in book-based systems, increasing the likelihood all securities will be available to be returned to you if yourCFO became insolvent.
3. How independent will the advice be from my Advisor at yourCFO?
At yourCFO, we do not create any investment products, so your advisor won't be subject to any influence to sell in-house proprietary products that may not be in your best interest. At other firms, there may be conflicting interests where they create their own investment products and provide advisory services. You may end up owning proprietary products in your portfolio, which aren't the best for your circumstances. At yourCFO, your advisor has the opportunity to help invest your wealth on a truly independent, bias-free basis, while not compromising on the breadth of products available. [more]
Advisors at yourCFO do not own any equity in the firm and yourCFO does not 'own' their book of business. Our Agents have the most independent relationship possible, to provide you with truly unbiased investment advice.
