Financial planning to help you achieve your goals

At BMO Private Bank, we view the financial planning process as a critical and collaborative process,

as opposed to a financial product. Together, we’ll identify the purpose of your wealth. Then, we’ll

create a dynamic roadmap that will help you achieve your goals, and provide you with confidence so

you can focus your energy on enjoying other things in your life.

What you need How we can help

your wealth

Certainty as to the timing and quality of your

retirement. Protection if you or your spouse pass

prematurely. Funding for your children’s and

grandchildren’s education.

We are financial planning professionals

Your Financial Planner’s principle objective is to

deeply understand your personal goals and advocate

on your behalf. We will work with you to develop

integrated strategies that address each of your goals

— for you, your family and future generations.

A comprehensive wealth management strategy

Preservation and growth of your wealth. A business

succession plan. Protection against estate taxes. A

plan that evolves as your life changes.

We believe that the need for planning does not

end with the delivery of the financial plan

Using the analytic foundation built during the

planning process, BMO Private Bank Financial

Planners provide ongoing advice to help you stay on

track to meet your financial goals.
