Nic Tustin, BA Econ

I used my experience from Sunlife, BMO, TD, Edward Jones and Canada Life to create apps to help investors pay fewer fees and income tax. I have a degree in Economics from the University of Waterloo, and financial industry designations such as the Canadian Securities Course (CSC), Conduct & Practices Handbook (CPH), Wealth Management Essentials (WME)and LLQP. I primarily focus on tactical asset allocation by actively balancing portfolios to reduce market risk. I’ve built my business on a foundation of integrity, due diligence, and innovation. I have the essential resources and financial expertise to implement these sophisticated strategies and help you understand how the variables, such as length of investment, liquidity of the investment, inflation rate, income taxes, market fluctuations, and interest rate risks can impact the results you want to achieve long term.
