Reviews of Karasick & Associates - IG Private Wealth Management (Financial Consultant)

Patrick Prade

The personalized and attentive service provided by Ryan Murray has been exceptional. He's taken the time to educate my wife and I about financial planning, investments and life insurance. We now feel so comfortable and excited about our investments. While there are highs and lows, it's clear that the long term benefits of having a plan, namely a plan we are comfortable with has been priceless. I'd recommend Ryan and the Karasick & Associates group to anyone!

For over 25 years it has been my privilege to know Lyle Karasick. What started out as a simple $100.00 a month investment, so many years ago, has now developed into a financial security that would not have been possible without his guidance. Over the past few years the world has experienced volatility in the markets, which can make even the most seasoned investor somewhat nervous, but Lyle has always provided me with the very best advice in financial planning. Lyle and his team have always been there for me. When my wife Sandy lost her battle with Cancer, Lyle was more than just a financial advisor, he was a very dear friend. His first words to me - "Everything has been looked after" - reassurance that I will never forget. It is a pleasure for me to be associated with his team. There are many in the financial world - but there are very few individuals like Lyle Karasick.

The team always looks after my best interests. I especially like that I always speak to a real person when I call. They know and understand my personal circumstances, and have taken this into account in my written financial plan.

I am very pleased with the service/advice/assistance I have received from Lyle and his team for almost 20 years now. I meet with him and team at least once a year, sometimes more. My funds are easily accessible if an unforseen cost arises, and the advice he shares keeps all things in perspective. Even the "crash" in 2008. I highly recommend him.

Great customer service, Ryan always takes the time to look after me and answer my questions. He employs a collaborative approach when recommending suitable strategies to reduce taxes and increase savings for retirement. As an example, last year we used a RSP loan strategy which maximized my tax refund. I highly recommend to give them a call if you want unbiased advice.

Lyle, Aaron and Ryan are straight forward, informative and a lot of fun. We couldn't be more comfortable knowing our finances are being looked after by these professionals.

I have been a client for nearly 30 years, and have experienced what occurs when you take the advice and guidance of professionals. My retirement is secure. Lyle and his team are always looking out for my best interests, and have felt like family. I would highly recommend them for anyone that wants a clear picture of their retirement.

My husband and I have been clients of Karasick and Associates for over twenty years. Although our initial motivation for financial planning was for our eventual retirement, Lyle and Aaron helped us to plan for eventualities we hadn't even considered, including how to best help our children finance their post-secondary educations. Lyle and his team took the time to get to know us and our comfort zones surrounding strategies for financial management. Their expertise and patience gave us the confidence to trust in the strategies they proposed as we worked toward our retirement goals. I am thrilled that my husband and I were able to retire while we are still young enough to enjoy the fruits of our labour and the sound advice provided by Lyle and Aaron. We never could have retired when we did without them. The addition of Ryan Murray to the team has added a new generation of knowledgeable expertise and it is with confidence that we have referred our adult children to Karasick and Associates in order that they too can make sound financial decisions. We highly recommend Lyle and his team and are grateful to have them on our side.

Lyle and his team have been my advisers for over twenty years. In this complicated world, my retirement is secure because of the advice and guidance they provide. The written financial plan which we regularly review, shows me where I stand today, tomorrow, and ultimately what will pass to the next generation. It is always a pleasure to see them.

Lyle makes investing easy to understand and he is always there to answer any questions or concerns that may arise. He truly cares about clients and it shows. Lyle is more than just our financial advisor, he has become a respected advisor and friend.

Leanne Hosler

The team at Karasick & Associates have been incredible in assisting us in the next chapter of our lives! We sold our business, our home, our recreational property and then retired! Their knowledge of tax implications in doing all of this was amazing. They even brought in an expert to review our financials that in turn will save us SO much money, both now and in the future. We are very thankful to have met this team of professionals.....they are a knowledgeable, kind, attentive group and are truly there to help you with your financial planning, every step of the way!

From my first visit with Lyle and Aaron to the times that they have come to my dwelling I have been extremely pleased with their service. My portfolio is to my liking and this quarter I am doing great. Don’t hesitate to use this group as I am certain that you will be pleased.
