Optimize's Approach to Wealth Management
The world is changing quickly and the investment space is increasingly more complex and uncertain. At Optimize, we believe navigating this reality requires more advice and not cookie cutter, plug-and-play tools. Built on time-tested principles of financial planning and wealth management, sound risk management, and long-term patient investing, the Optimize approach focuses on listening to clients, their goals, and their ambitions and understanding how those fit into their personal financial circumstances.
For that reason, Optimize Wealth takes a holistic approach to helping clients build and manage their wealth over the long-term. Towards that end and to provide clients with a personalized approach, Optimize assigns a multi-disciplinary team to meet their needs.
The cornerstone of the David Spence Group’s service rests in effectively matching clients’ financial and life goals with a personalized financial planning strategy and overall customer service experience which will exceed their goals in every respect. They measure their success by how well they have helped clients achieve their specific financial planning goals and objectives.
David provides clients with a comprehensive approach to financial planning, tax preparation and will preparation, ensuring his clients always benefit from the highest level of service. Chris Coholan and Justin Yee are the Portfolio Manager and Associate Portfolio Manager who advise and manage client investment accounts, while David helps clients with their Financial Planning needs and can also help clients access value-added services available to Optimize clients such as tax planning, estate planning, or insurance*.
