We are so gald to have Nic as our financial advisor; our portfolios are well managed and we have been happy with the outcomes over the years. Nic always goes out of his way to help us. We had a bad experience with our Canada life mortgage broker, his lack of support and responsiveness almost cost our family a great opportunity so we had to move on.
