Help preserve wealth for future generations. Consider KENT if you would like help transferring wealth to your family or other beneficiary through a trust; or, if you would like to potentially avoid probate—the legal process of distributing wealth after death—to maintain privacy and minimize estate-related costs.

If you decide to name KENT as your trustee or co-trustee, we offer objectivity, continuity, and experience in trust administration. As part of our fiduciary services, we will:

• Administer the trust according to its terms.
• Communicate regularly with beneficiaries.
• Prepare required records, statements, and tax returns.

Whether you name us as trustee or prefer to name another in this capacity, you’ll receive the same tax-sensitive investment management.

A dedicated trust officer will be assigned to all accounts for which FPTC serves as trustee or co-trustee.

At KENT we offer unrivalled experience of providing the solutions pension scheme managers and trustees need to ensure good management and governance, enabling them to meet their financial and regulatory obligations. Experience shows there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution, and at KENT we work with you to develop tailored solutions meeting your organizational and scheme’s requirements, aims and objectives.

 

As one of Canada’s leading financial services companies, we take pride in making disciplined, purposeful long-term investments that support growth in the economy while helping Canadians reach their financial goals.

Our Investment philosophy guides an investment management process comprised of three key components: Discovery of your risk tolerance & capacity, formation of a customized asset allocation, and implementation of that allocation across multiple currencies and jurisdictions.

KENT has the unique registrations and ability to manage integrated investment portfolios that include accounts in Canada and the U.S. Many of our customers have lived and worked in Canada and the U.S. and have accumulated assets and investment accounts in both countries. It can be very difficult to locate an advisor that can oversee these investment accounts in the two countries, and many have had to work with an advisor on each side of the border. We create and oversee integrated cross-border investment portfolios that include all types of accounts in both Canada and the U.S.

As we increasingly live our lives online, it’s not too surprising that fully 68% of Canadians use online banking each week, compared to only 16% that step into a branch. Online banking is for consumers of all ages who enjoy the convenience of being able to carry out banking tasks whenever they’d like, 24/7.

 

Why online banking?

• Convenience: There’s no need to wait in line or hurry to get there before the branch closes, and you can carry out most banking transactions at the comfort of your home.
• Customer Service: We offer a dedicated personal banker who is available for much longer hours through live chat, email, or telephone support. On top of this, you can access non-personalized banking support around the clock for general questions and assistance.
• Features: We support new finance tech tools like mobile cheque deposit, free online bill payments, and person-to-person payments.
• Pricing: You can get all of the same services you need from an online bank, but without the fees, and enjoy higher interest rates as well.
