At Grimes Handscomb Asset Management, we are dedicated to helping individuals and their families, organizations, and private foundations achieve their financial goals with confidence. We believe the measure of our success is your peace of mind.
By choosing to work with Grimes Handscomb Asset Management, you enjoy all the benefits of working with two of Canada’s premier financial organizations – RBC Royal Bank and RBC Dominion Securities. Our group acts exclusively for a limited number of clients requiring personalized attention, customized investment management, and professional assistance with a variety of matters related to the management of wealth.
Our integrated approach
What distinguishes our approach to wealth management?
Understanding your priorities
We begin by listening. Understanding the unique needs and preferences of each client allows us to adapt our approach in subtle yet important ways, often resulting in differences in the structure and management of each client’s affairs. The result is a deeper relationship – one that develops because you, the client, have a direct, ongoing relationship with the person involved in the day-to-day decisions made on your behalf.
We believe in keeping our clients informed regularly, and appreciate the importance they place on transparency with respect to investment performance and cost of service.
Custom investment management
Our disciplined investment approach focuses on protecting your capital while steadily growing your wealth within your tolerance for risk, always adapting to your unique and evolving needs and preferences along the way.
Our Investment Committee meets regularly to discuss macro-economic and market trends to help identify potential risks, while evaluating equity, fixed income, and alternative investment opportunities and strategies to apply to your unique circumstances. We then implement these strategies using sound portfolio construction techniques while taking into consideration your unique overall wealth management plan. We draw upon not only the vast resources within the Royal Bank of Canada (including RBC Global Asset Management and RBC Capital Markets), but also other sources, including external research providers, to help inform our investment decisions.
We follow a multi-discipline investment process that integrates not only fundamental security research, but also quantitative and technical analysis, and incorporates Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) principles.
Beyond investing
A full suite of wealth advisory services
At Grimes Handscomb Asset Management, our wealth of experience and depth of expertise enable us to clearly identify those issues and objectives of greatest importance to you, and then develop and implement the appropriate wealth management strategies.
A financial plan provides a strong foundation
While portfolio management is at the centre of what we do, ultimately we are trying to help provide you with peace of mind about all your financial affairs.
A financial plan is like a roadmap. It allows us to plot a destination, such as your ideal retirement or the efficient transfer of your wealth to the next generation, and make the most appropriate financial decisions to help you achieve your goals with confidence.
We value the trust and confidence you place in us, and believe in applying the highest possible standard of care
With over a century of combined industry experience, we understand the concerns you have when you are responsible for managing wealth, whether it is for your family, business, or organization. Our team as well as our partners are committed to helping you manage this important responsibility, freeing your time to focus on other priorities, confident that your wealth is being cared for according to the highest standards.
