Sean Knoerzer, CFP, Wealth Advisor, CI BDF Private Wealth joined Julie Cooling, Founder & CEO, RIA Channel to discuss the firm’s specialized approach to holistic wealth management and organic growth drivers.
“Our people, passion and process are core differentiators for us,” says Knoerzer. CI BDF’s team is comprised of a deep bench of CPAs, CFPs and JDs and offers unique expertise across the holistic wealth management spectrum. After launching in 2002, BDF was recently acquired by CI Financial, a move that only enhanced what BDF has been doing for decades. “We now have access to more resources, and can draw from the strengths of different firms across CI’s growing network of RIAs,” says Knoerzer. Even though the name on the door is slightly different, the firm’s dedication to delivering a customized client experience has remained unchanged. CI BDF Private Wealth serves thousands of clients nationally, and offers specialized teams specifically focused on investment management, financial planning, divorce planning or women’s services.
