What You’ll Be Doing

High net worth clients often require additional expertise due to their level of wealth and the complexities involved. You will be working as part of a leading Wealth Management practice to understand the unique and complex needs of their high net worth clients, and offer recommendations to optimize and grow the clients’ wealth. Financial Planners develop a holistic and integrated wealth management strategy – one that combines investment management, estate planning, tax planning, and retirement planning strategies amongst others so they all work together to achieve your clients’ goals.

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. Details of your work arrangements will be discussed at the time of your interview.

This role may require frequent travel.

• Collaboration - Work proactively with your team and internal and external partners and other trusted advisors to lead the development of an integrated financial plan for new and existing HNW clients. Assemble a multi-disciplined team to develop innovative domestic and global solutions for the client’s personal and business needs (banking, investing, estate and trust planning, tax minimization, education, business valuation, sale of a business, charitable giving etc.)
