RBC DOMINION SECURITIES

OUR WEALTH MANAGEMENT

The wealth management services provided by Siemko Wealth Management Group of RBC Dominion Securities are comprehensive. It’s an important distinction because some investment advisors will claim to offer ‘wealth management’ but a closer look shows they are mostly limited to selling certain investment products. With a more complex financial

situation you need more than that. Our multi-disciplinary and on-going approach involves experts in different areas, including investment advisors, insurance specialists, estate planners, and legal advisors which ensures you can effectively manage the options, obstacles and challenges your wealth brings.

RBC Dominion Securities Inc.* and Royal Bank of Canada are separate corporate entities which are affiliated. *Member-Canadian Investor Protection Fund. Insurance products are offered through RBC Wealth Management Financial Services Inc., a subsidiary of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. When providing life insurance products in all provinces except Quebec, Investment Advisors are acting as Insurance Repre-

sentatives of RBC Wealth Management Financial Services Inc. ®Registered trademark of Royal Bank of Canada. Used under licence. RBC Dominion Securities is a registered trademark of Royal Bank of Canada. Used under licence. ©Copyright 2011. All rights reserved.

Introducing Dennis Siemko & Siemko Wealth Management Group of RBC Dominion SecuritiesKnowledge, Experience, Expertise and Service

We’ve welcomed this opportunity to be presented alongside the other partners in this magazine. We hope you found this piece helpful. Should you have any questions, please contact us.

SIEMKO WEALTH MANAGEMENT GROUP OF RBC DOMINION SECURITIES

905-469-7100 | [email protected] | www.siemkowealth.com

Dennis Siemko has read the book, seen the movie, and owns the t-shirt. He’s guided his clients though the highs and lows of the markets for over 30 years – that’s five recessions, including the most recent financial crisis. “My experiences help keep clients focused on the long term when they see extreme fluctuations in the global markets, like we just saw in August,” says Dennis from his Oakville office. “Not much in the markets surprises me anymore.” he laughs. What still surprises him, however, is the confusion as to what a wealth management practice offers. Most equate wealth management to another term for financial planning, when it is really much more than that. Dennis has prepared the following piece that should help clarify the matter.

WEALTH MANAGEMENTAt a certain point in your life, things started to get a little more complex. Buying your first home, investing for your retirement, making sure you have the what-ifs covered. Now you’re at a stage where your retirement plans are maxed out, you’ve built a large investment portfolio, and you may own multiple properties and – let’s not forget – you have a much higher tax burden. To coordinate everything, you may have created a financial plan in the past, but it no longer fulfills your needs. Wealth management is a comprehensive approach to managing your financial concerns and achieving your goals in life. It includes advice on your investments and retirement plans – but it extends well beyond that to include advice on protecting your lifestyle, minimizing your tax exposures, maximizing your income and organizing your estate. Think of it as a long-term planning service that brings together all your tax, retirement, estate, investment and insurance needs.
