Services for high-net-worth individuals and families

A 360° approach with an experience inspired by multifamily offices

By combining the reach of a financial conglomerate with the personalized attention of a family business, we put our passion, expertise, and dedication to work to help you achieve financial success.

Wealth Management

Our thoughtful and proactive approach helps you build a lasting financial legacy that spans generations.
Portfolio Management

A dedicated private manager builds a portfolio tailored to your financial plan and needs. Investment decisions are proposed by our team of portfolio managers, who follow a rigorous and disciplined analysis process.

‍

Our philosophy rests on two key pillars: capital preservation and reasonable asset growth. We invest in quality companies that are attractively valued, with a constant focus on balancing return and risk.

‍

Depending on your profile and assets under management, we offer a portfolio of directly held securities or our Eterna Funds.

Financial Planning and Tax Optimization

This service provides a comprehensive and realistic view of your wealth management, extending beyond investments and retirement.

‍

After thoroughly gathering information and analyzing your family wealth, our experts present you with a plan tailored to your values, objectives, and needs. This plan, which serves as a reference for informed decision-making, will be reviewed periodically to ensure it remains consistent with your current circumstances.

‍

We also pay special attention to the tax optimization of your returns, taking into account the chosen investment vehicles and collaborating with your other advisors as needed.

‍

Finally, our team can help you incorporate flow-through shares into your strategy, a tool that significantly reduces the actual cost of a charitable donation. This strategy effectively combines tax optimization and philanthropic impact.

Estates and Trusts

For impartial management that gives you peace of mind.
Estate Settlement

Estate settlement draws on legal, accounting, and tax expertise in a context that is often emotionally demanding. The scope of the work varies with the complexity of the case, but the requirement remains the same: to honour the expressed wishes, protect the interests of all parties, and bring the process to a conclusion with professionalism. Our team has the experience needed to handle this role with rigour and discretion.

Corporate Trustee

Clients who chose Eterna Trust to administer their trust can be assured that it will be managed impartially, both during their lifetime and after their passing, and in strict accordance with their wishes. Our specialists make the appropriate tax decisions to avoid double taxation and to spare your loved ones from burdensome and complex responsibilities.

Protection Mandate

Should you become incapacitated, the management of your personal affairs will fall to the mandatary you will have designated, a role that requires availability, judgment, and long-term commitment. By entrusting us with this mandate, you can be assured that your finances will be administered with thoroughness and in your best interest.

Insurance and Annuities

As an independent insurance broker, we have access to the full range of products offered by the leading Canadian insurers and guide you towards the coverage best suited to your needs.
Personal Insurance

To protect the financial well-being of your loved ones in the event of death, or your own in the event of an unforeseen circumstance, we help you choose the coverage that is right for you. Products we offer include: 

‍

  • Life insurance
  • Critical illness insurance
  • Disability insurance (sickness and accident)
  • Health care insurance (prescription drugs and dental)
Annuities

With life expectancy steadily increasing, incorporating an annuity into your retirement plan can be a wise decision: you will receive a guaranteed income over a defined period, thereby reducing longevity risk. We assist you in selecting the features and the portion of capital to allocate to it.

Mutual Funds

As an independent mutual fund dealer, we have access to the full range of investment funds available on the market and help you select those that best suit your situation.

Whether you are acquiring property, financing education, or planning for retirement, we help you define your objectives clearly and propose investments whose characteristics and return prospects are consistent with your situation.

Eterna offers all types of non-registered and tax-advantaged accounts: TFSA, RRSP, LIRA, LIF, RESP, and RDSP.

Philanthropy

Eterna offers a variety of solutions to support the causes that you care about. The Frontenac Foundation is a registered public charity with the Canada Revenue Agency and Revenu Québec. Through endowment funds, it provides you with practical and tax-efficient means to achieve your philanthropic objectives.

Financial Concierge Services

Looking to lighten your daily workload or manage a loved one’s finances? We handle routine administrative tasks, such as paying bills, tracking tax instalment payments, and preparing tax returns. Our advisors can also develop customized plans to support your loved ones with special needs.
