  • Investments

    Private market (exempt market) investments may provide investors with additional opportunities to diversify their portfolios. These opportunities can include access to private investments such as real estate, farmland, private equity, and private debt. Such investments can be considered higher risk, may be illiquid, and are not suitable for all investors. Mike Lynes, a Private Wealth Advisor of Raintree Financial Solutions, a registered Exempt Market Dealer, can help determine whether these investments are appropriate for your individual circumstances.
  • Education Saving Plans

    Keep your loved ones from lacking proper education funding when the time comes. Employ an education planning process that opens doors for the best post-secondary options.
