Lawrence Ullman Announces Launch of New Independent Private Capital Manager Ullman Wealth Management Inc.

TORONTO, July 17, 2017 /CNW/ - Lawrence Ullman, a proven and accomplished investment strategist, is pleased to announce the launch of a new and independent private capital manager, Ullman Wealth Management Inc. ("UWM").

UWM represents a fresh approach to private capital management services in Canada. UWM was created as a direct response to growing demand from high net worth individuals, charities, foundations, corporations and family offices for an active and tailored approach to wealth management. UWM combines proven wealth management experience and expertise with an open architecture freed of the constraints and potential conflicts of interest often associated with traditional investment management firms.

Lawrence Ullman and his team most recently managed client portfolios with approximately $600 million in assets under management and $800 million in assets under advisement.

"We are very pleased to offer a unique and fresh approach to meeting the needs of high net worth individuals and institutions. Our clients prioritize wealth preservation and the minimization of volatility, regardless of market conditions. Our open architecture platform allows us to develop an overall portfolio strategy based on the client's objectives and then execute on that strategy," said Lawrence Ullman, CEO of UWM.

"Sophisticated investors have resoundingly rejected traditional approaches to wealth management that are either too limited in scope or restrict investors' ability to diversify outside of in-house investment offerings. Periods of distress in the capital markets have also exposed the heavy correlation between certain asset classes and geographies, which can magnify volatility within portfolios. UWM is fully independent and free of conflicts, and we can access a variety of carefully vetted third-party investment alternatives to ensure the long-term preservation of client capital," continued Mr. Ullman.

UWM is led by CEO Lawrence Ullman, a registered portfolio manager and 20-year veteran of firms such as RBC Dominion Securities and Richardson GMP Limited. Mr. Ullman is joined by Craig McGee, CFA, portfolio manager; and associates Jonathan Tang, Fernando Moleirinho, Erina Khalique and Elise Robinson.
