For individuals & families

It's all about you

We understand that each investor’s goals are unique. We built our reputation by carefully listening to our clients and delivering highly customized solutions that meet their objectives.

When you join us as a client, the first step in our engagement involves meeting with one of our portfolio managers to discuss your situation so we can understand what you would like to achieve.

From there, we will develop your personal Investment Policy Statement, which confirms your goals and provides a forward-looking framework of clear guidelines and strategies for effectively managing your money.

As an individual investor, we know you are looking for performance you can count on and people you can trust.

Not only do we manage individual investors, but we also specialize in multi-generational relationships. We’ve been fortunate to work with some of Canada’s most successful families and understand family wealth. As your family evolves and changes, we proactively work with you and your team of advisors to grow and preserve your financial legacy.

We provide the same investment technology for institutions or for individuals. Working with us, you’ll enjoy the attentiveness of a boutique firm while benefiting from our global expertise and access to top asset-class specialists.

Our assistance goes beyond investment counselling, presenting you with clear, effective wealth solutions. We can work with your current advisors to ensure a complementary and comprehensive approach to managing your wealth.

We have been helping our clients reach their financial goals for more than 30 years.

Client impact

“Graduating from a big bank to Genus was one of the best financial steps we've ever taken. Genus has delivered reliable asset growth despite our moderate risk tolerance. As our financial security has grown, we've also been the beneficiaries of a great client experience. The company's communications have been consistently transparent and informative, including educational webinars and a well-designed web portal where we can track investments daily. Most importantly to us, our portfolio manager has always responded swiftly and thoroughly to our questions and requests. ”
Martin T.
"Having relatively diverse financial goals and needs, along with a slight reticence regarding the stock market, Genus skillfully addressed all of our concerns, and put together a truly exceptional plan: Fossil free funds and a diversified investment portfolio, check; An effective Impact investment portfolio that coincides with our hopes and dreams for a better world, check; Professional advice and assistance to create a donor advised charitable fund with immediate charitable receipts for tax purposes, check. Returns? Way beyond our expectations! We even had some fun along the way and certainly enjoyed an incredible two-year start to what will be a satisfying long-term relationship with Genus."
Marc B.
“I love the service I get at Genus.”
Chris H.
“Leslie and I were fellow board members when we met twenty years ago. For the last ten she has been thoughtful in the construction of an investment strategy for my family and is executing the strategy as planned. The team at Genus has met my expectations and are a pleasure to deal with.”
Bob Q.
“For over 15 years, I have provided selection and performance evaluation of multiple investment managers for a significant family office. Leslie and Genus have been foundational for me in my role. I have always found Leslie and her colleagues to be insightful and proactive, and found the performance of their portion of the portfolio to be well above benchmarks. And they have been a great pleasure to work with.”
Douglas H.
“Genus is a very innovative firm. I am pleased to invest in their Fossil Free and Impact strategies that help me invest in line with my values.”
Marnie C.
“Great team of professionals. Excellent website and reporting. Responds to inquiries promptly. Very pleased with the process of changing from another company to Genus as well. Kudos.”
David L.
“Genus consistently provides a good, clearly explained, comprehensive picture of the general economic and financial situation, along with an excellent account of the investment decisions made in relation to this. Genus’ equally strong concern with clients’ questions and requests for further information is also a very important part of the service it provides.”
Allan S.
“Back in 1992 when I found myself at fifty with a substantial amount of money to invest, I knew just one thing — that I didn’t want to contribute to tobacco companies, arms manufacturers, or oil. But over the ensuing years the options for socially responsible investing have become far more sophisticated and I’m very happy that this is a big part of the Genus approach. I also very much appreciate the long-term relationship with my portfolio manager, Mary Lou.”
Ann P.
