How Asset Allocation Fits With Wealth Management
Our Approach
Asset allocation and management decisions are perhaps the most critical factors in developing a plan
to meet long-term investment and wealth objectives. Asset location (the integration of estate planning
and asset allocation) has the potential to significantly impact a family’s balance sheet, and is core to our
portfolio construction.
Using technology, our portfolio asset allocations are designed to help increase expected return while
mitigating risk or, conversely, to maintain risk while increasing potential returns. Asset class risks/returns
may diverge in the short-term, but we believe they are ultimately driven by economic fundamentals
and have predictable long-term relationship patterns. A disciplined and formal diversification program
increases the odds of investment success (although it does not eliminate short-term swings).
CIBC Wood Gundy is an industry leader in the integration of asset allocation with estate, tax, and
investment policy planning. With our approach to asset allocation within wealth management, we
employ a rigorous analytical process in evaluating a wide range of potential investment strategies tailored
specifically for your particular investment objectives.
CIBC Wood Gundy’s innovative technology helps us address big-picture asset allocation questions. For
investors who are concerned about decreasing their tax burden, this means structuring the portfolio in a
tax-efficient manner.
We operate in the real world, developing portfolios designed to achieve the true benchmark for success:
meeting your unique goals. At every step, Madams Investment Group looks beyond individual
investments to consider your overall investment strategy so that no matter what the market is doing,
your investment portfolio is properly positioned.

Know Your Costs
Fee-Based Investment Services
Successful investing is more than just a series of transactions. That’s why fee-based accounts do not
charge transaction fees every time a trade is made. Instead, a monthly or quarterly fee is charged based
on the assets in your account. Benefiting from the advice of an investment professional and knowing that
someone you trust is looking out for your best interests is the foundation of a fee-based account.
Fee-based investing comes in many forms and we offer a choice of services to fit different types of
investors. Whether you prefer to work closely with our team to build and grow your portfolio or leave all
the investing decisions to professional investment managers, we have a solution to meet your needs.

How Complete Is Your Estate Plan?
Wealth is about more than just assets. It’s about independence, financial success, and the ability to meet
the needs of your family and support your favourite causes. Regardless of how much wealth you’ve
accumulated or want to accumulate, your estate plan, like any important undertaking, requires planning,
skill and ongoing attention.
Estate planning enables you to plan for tomorrow. No matter what stage of life you’re in, an estate plan
can help simplify the transfer of assets to the next generation and protect your beneficiaries. A carefully
crafted estate plan provides for the well-being and security of your loved ones upon your death. No
matter what your financial situation may be, estate planning can help you protect your assets.
Benefits Of An Estate Plan
• Conservation and distribution of assets
• Provision of income for survivors
• Prevention of unnecessary economic hardship for survivors
• Minimization of excessive tax or transfer costs
