VGRO ETF Review
- Seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in equity and fixed income securities. It may do so either directly or indirectly through investment in one or more exchange traded funds managed by the manager or an affiliate or certain other investment funds
- In seeking to achieve the investment objective (under normal market conditions), the sub-advisor will strive to maintain a long-term strategic asset allocation of equity (approximately 80%) and fixed income (approximately 20%) securities. The portfolio asset mix may be reconstituted and rebalanced from time to time at the discretion of the sub-advisor
- The underlying funds are expected to be index funds that provide exposure to broad-based equity and fixed income markets

Shiella A2022-06-30Nic is professional, intuitive, personable and passionate about his role. 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. We honestly wish Nic was able to handle our mortgage needs as well. This will ensure that all our service needs will be well managed. Thank you Nic for everything you do!

We talked about my goals and plans for retirement. We also talked about my comfort level when it comes to the the ups and downs of investing. I felt very comfortable with Nic. He is down to earth and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Nic to anyone needing a financial planner. I feel much more comfortable with my investment plan because of Nic and look forward to working with him for all my investment needs.
