Building Wealth Through Patient Strategy
We started Gyven Kind because small investors deserved better than cookie-cutter advice and aggressive sales pitches. Since 2019, we've been helping everyday Canadians make sense of their money without the Wall Street theatrics.
What Actually Drives Us
Honest Conversations
We talk about money the way real people do. No jargon walls, no pretending markets are predictable when they're not. Just straightforward discussions about what makes sense for your situation.
Realistic Timelines
Building wealth takes years, not weeks. We map out strategies that account for market volatility, life changes, and the simple fact that compounding needs time to work its magic.
Small Capital Focus
Most firms want six-figure minimums. We built our approach around helping people with $5,000 to $50,000 make smart decisions that actually compound over time.
Most investment advice assumes you have unlimited capital and zero expenses. We work with the reality that rent is due, cars break down, and building wealth happens in the margins of everyday life.
Portfolio Context
We look at your full financial picture before suggesting anything. A TFSA strategy that works for someone with employer benefits looks different for a freelancer managing their own insurance.
Tax Integration
Canadian tax rules create real opportunities for small investors. We help you understand how RRSP contributions, capital gains timing, and income splitting can add thousands to your returns.
Behaviour Coaching
Market drops trigger panic. We've seen it hundreds of times. Part of our job is helping you stick with sound strategy when headlines scream and your instincts say run.
The People Behind the Strategy
We're not a faceless firm. You'll work with actual humans who remember your goals and check in when markets get weird.
Emmett Lavergne
Founding Partner
Spent a decade at a big bank before realizing small investors got terrible service. Started Gyven Kind to fix that gap with actual personalized guidance.
Torben Westergaard
Investment Strategist
Builds portfolios that balance growth potential with real-life risk tolerance. Believes most people can handle more market volatility than they think—if you explain what's happening.
