about us

Planning for life, 
creating for generations.

At Bellwether Family Wealth | Nova Scotia, we put ourselves at the centre of your financial affairs so that we can see the complete picture and ensure the advice and guidance you receive is in your best interest. We start by taking an in-depth look at every aspect of your financial life, and then we work with you to create a comprehensive plan that sets you on the best course to achieve your goals and dreams.

Traditionally, most people deal with different professionals for their investment, insurance, tax and estate planning needs. But doing so is not only time-consuming, it’s ineffective. Each professional you deal with will only have one piece of the puzzle. You may end up receiving conflicting opinions, or worse, advice in one area that may negatively impact another. When you work with Bellwether, you get a holistic approach that focuses on both the big picture and the details to protect your family tree.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“Money isn’t about numbers; it’s about achieving your goals. I didn’t think I could buy my ex-husband out of our home, or go back to school, or put my daughter through university, and now I’ve done all three.”

“The investment style is methodical, disciplined and, importantly, fulfills our needs without exposing us to unacceptable risk. We appreciate the steadiness with which they help us stick to our plan, their diligence in keeping our fees as low as possible and, not least, their friendliness.”

“I’ve given everything I have to invest, and I couldn’t be happier. Things go up and they go down, but I don’t bother about it. Trust leads to that confidence. Trust, and a paycheque every month.”

OUR COMMITMENT

The Life & Legacy Promise

Live the life you desire, craft the legacy you deserve, and reclaim the time to focus on what matters most to you.

Time is our most valuable asset—one we can’t buy more of—so how we spend it shapes how we live, and we’re here to help you make the most of it.

Because a legacy is more than just the money you leave behind, it’s the reassurance that you made a lasting difference with a story worth remembering.

When a financial plan is customized to your exact needs, overseen by your dedicated family wealth advisor, and powered by a globally diversified portfolio, it won’t just help you live for today—it can ensure your legacy creates for generations.

Everyone has a story, but few can decide how it’s told or when it will be forgotten. Let’s co-author one that you can be proud of.

Our Services

What We Offer

Our fully integrated approach combines portfolio management with comprehensive financial planning. We ensure that every aspect is considered—including tax efficiency, estate planning, and wealth transfer—to provide truly handcrafted solutions.

Balancing today’s needs with tomorrow’s goals through comprehensive, integrated planning.
