Discretionary investment management providing excess returns
About Us
Wise Capital Management is a leading money manager for large pension funds, and high net worth clients who deserve a more sophisticated wealth management program than those typically offered by brokerage firms, investment advisors or financial planners. The investment team is headed by Sam Wiseman, who has 30 years of investment experience and an outstanding track record of consistently outperforming benchmarks and growing client assets.
Private Client Services
For affluent individuals and wealthy families, we mutually determine an asset mix and appropriate diversification based on getting to personally know the client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance. Clients can have the benefit of doing what they do best in their professions and lives knowing a pension fund quality organization is continually managing their money. We review each client’s objectives with them annually or, more frequently, if there is a life changing event. Account holdings are held in custody and insured by large Canadian institutions. Some of our investment strategies can start with a minimum of $150,000 per person or private company.
