FAQ

How can i transfer assets from another financial institution?

There are specific forms for each type of account that we will fill out together. They will be sent to your current broker so it will be almost effortless for you. You don't even have to contact them directly.

Are there any fees to transfer to Manulife Securities Incorporated?

In most cases there are no fees or they are minimal. For the cases where I believe there might be fees to transfer the assets we will choose to transfer "in kind" ( you will have the same funds transfered) and then we will work with the account so that we minimize or eliminate any fees when we re-structure the portfolio.

What happens if you decide to leave the company?

I have been with the Berkshire Group (now Manulife Securities) building my client base since 2001. I have no intention to leave the company. If I decided to move to another company you would certainly have the choice to move your accounts with me at the new financial institution or stay with Manulife Securities. If I left the industry I would make sure you would be serviced by another competent advisor.

I noticed Manulife Securities Incorporated is a member of CIPF. Can you give me more details?
