President's Message

Wealth comes in many forms. It is the value of the financial assets you work hard to acquire, increase and protect. It is the earned ability to look to the future with a sense of opportunity. Our own particular focus on wealth reflects the emphasis we place on individual confidence and the lasting security that only hard work and thoughtful planning can guarantee.

Our committed team of asset management professionals and financial advisors continues to set new standards in the investment management industry. Every day they work to achieve this sense of wealth for the clients of DundeeWealth.

While it remains a time of economic turmoil and market uncertainty around the world, it is also a time of real opportunity for thoughtful investors. And DundeeWealth is uniquely positioned to capitalize on those opportunities. Smaller and more integrated today we are better focused organization than we have ever been in our history. We are more flexible and proactive and therefore more responsive to the unique events that will shape the Canadian financial markets for years to come. And today we are better equipped to build on the very apparent successes of the past several years with a solid capital position and a growing network of international partners and subsidiaries.

The cornerstone of our strategy for future growth rests on the strength of our past: a special business construct that combines the cultural values of the family with the entrepreneurial spirit of the individual. As members of a family, we realize that the most important capital required for our business is intellectual rather than financial. In this respect, the extraordinary effort of our committed team of asset management professionals and our national network financial advisors combine easily to deliver solid returns to investors. They are the sole reason for our exceptional track record of unlocking uncommon performance for the benefit of all of our partners and clients, and together, have set us firmly on a path to attaining our vision of becoming Canada's leading independent financial institution.
