​Investment Advisor Services 

At Tandia, we want your finances to thrive and through our partnership with Qtrade and our full-service approach to investing, we can help make it happen.

Our members deserve and have come to expect our Investment Advisors to be trustworthy, honest, reliable, and to work hard for each and every member – to achieve what is possible in the best interest of the member. This makes us different from our competitors who may be interested in ‘selling’ you a specific product without considering your unique circumstances.

We are different and we are proud of our success. 

Our professional team of fully qualified Investment Advisors and Mutual Funds Representatives are committed to gaining a complete understanding of your financial goals, evolving life circumstances and investment objectives in order to proactively address both your financial needs and personal wealth plan.  Our team is also experienced with a wide variety of pension plans including OTPP and OMERS.
