I would like to thank Schiller, Spence & Associates for the opportunity to undergo a complete physical evaluation at Cleveland Clinic. The experience was not only thorough but also incredibly enlightening. The professional team at Cleveland Clinic provided exceptional care and expertise, allowing me to gain valuable insights into my health and wellness. It included full in-depth physical evaluation, psychological evaluation, strength and cardio evaluation, nutritional review. Providing advice for an ongoing health and wellness plan. I would recommend it for all clients as personal Health and Financial health go hand in hand.
Schiller, Spence & Associates have been a great asset in helping us plan our estate and retirement planning needs since 1997, ensuring that we will be able to maintain the lifestyle that we had prior to retirement. The entire team of associates are extremely knowledgeable with the products and services that they offer and that we use. It is always reassuring that our questions with regards to present and future needs are evaluated carefully and explained in terms that we can easily understand. The semi-annual yearly review is much appreciated and keeps us informed to our current and future needs. There is no hesitation to discuss tax saving resolutions and proper will preparation and content was also extremely helpful. We have no reservations of recommending Schiller, Spence & Associates to our friends that are searching for estate planning for retirement planning needs. We find that the questions and suggestions offered by the team have given us cause to reflect in deeper detail our needs as we move forward through retirement. We also take advantage of having online access to our accounts so that we may review the performance of each account. We are comfortable and very pleased with the services provided by Schiller, Spence & Associates.
When we began with Investors Group over thirty years ago we understood the basic need and benefits of investing and starting out was fairly simple with saving a portion of our paycheques in registered funds. Of course, we had no clear idea of what the future might look like and how daunting financial planning can sometimes be. The Schiller, Spence & Associates at Investors Group, starting with Miles, have been helping us out with the big picture all along and we're happy to have them with us as we head into the later stages of our careers. We've stayed together with the Schiller, Spence & Associates team as our family moved around Alberta and BC - they are always just a call or email away and an in-person visit and review was still done once or twice a year at our home.
Knowing that all aspects of our retirement plans have been well laid out is comforting. And getting through this last unsettling year was made more assuring and less uncertain by the extra reviews and contact with the current team of Bill, Miles, Ilkin, Jason and Denise. The added interest and fun of a client cookbook and some short webinars and a variety of online presentations have been great. We have made our overall life plan with IG more than just RRSPs, RESPs, and other non-registered fund investments. Our mortgages, critical illness and life insurance are integrated with our family assets, personal wills, company savings and pension plans, and a few individual stocks as well. It's great to have a variety of different groups of IG diversified funds that are managed by specialists. More than once the Miles and Bill have presented something new (to us) that we can attest well match our situation, needs, and current level of risk. An example in the past was an investment loan and more recently whole life insurance. Even our daughters, now in or near post-secondary school and working part-time, have now started investing in TFSAs with IG. One thing that was actually kind of fun has been building and maintaining a detailed family cash flow plan within our ongoing 'life' plan. Ilkin and Bill work with us to look at changes, risks and balances, and different future scenarios; the many charts, graphs and tables are excellent. Aspects that are more complicated have been readily explained in the detail that suits us. Our ongoing and future estate planning will certainly be less stressful as a result.
The Lloyd IG team know us and our interests and goals quite well and we have gotten to know the team at the same time - the personal service with them is awesome. Thanks for 33 years of financial help!
