Yorkville Asset Management

While the most common use of life insurance is to protect a person's dependents, Yorkville believes insurance is useful for much more than just a safety net for basic life protection. Through third party partners, Yorkville shares an expertise in tax-sheltered investing and advanced strategies utilizing insurance. In our comprehensive and integrated financial planning process, we can help you understand each insurance alternative and its potential benefits. Extending our own philosophy of “Managing risk, nurturing wealth”, insurance can form an active part of a personalized plan to manage risk at every stage of your personal and professional life. Insurance solutions can aid in estate planning, safeguard your family’s financial security, and potentially provide tax free payments to replace earnings, pay debts and daily living expenses.

The generational transfers of wealth and final contributions to society through charitable bequests are essential considerations in an individual’s life. Without proper estate planning, a significant portion of your assets could be unnecessarily lost to taxation, estate administration fees, and probate fees, reducing your ability to leave a lasting legacy for loved ones and worthy organizations.

Yorkville offers discretionary portfolio management services to all of our clients, where we create and maintain a personalized investment portfolio on your behalf. In this process, our experienced team of professionals will evaluate your investment objectives and goals, along with your risk tolerance, to specifically tailor your portfolio.  

A select number of Yorkville products are available through third party advisors, specifically mutual fund dealers and exempt market dealers. For more information, please visit the following pages:
