All accounts are cash accounts – unlike hedge funds we do not use leverage to manage your money. We are not a fund company – your account will mirror the Model Portfolio but your money will not be pooled with other clients. The account will have your name on it and you will directly own all of the securities held therein.

Wutherich & Company is an independent investment counsellor. We don’t hold assets for our clients. Wutherich & Company simply exercises trading authority over your account as per an agreed upon portfolio management agreement.

Your account is held in your name with National Bank Independent Network. You will receive a monthly statement and all annual tax material directly from NBIN. You will also receive a quarterly portfolio evaluation, invoice and letter detailing your portfolio composition and performance from Wutherich & Co. Consequently, you will always have an eye on the work we do for you.
