Choose To Be Worry Free

There are enough things in life to worry about. Money doesn't have to be one of them.

Our Philosophy

Invest. Don't Speculate.
At Polson Bourbonniere Derby Wealth Management, we help individuals and families build a clear, confident path toward a Worry Free Retirement Experience™ - whether retirement is just around the corner or many years away.

Through personalized financial planning, disciplined investment management, and ongoing guidance, we create strategies designed to protect and grow your wealth while adapting to life’s changes.

We serve pre-retirees and retirees across Canada who want more than just investment advice — they want clarity, structure, and peace of mind. Our clients value a long-term partnership focused on turning their retirement goals into a practical, sustainable plan they can feel confident about.

Ruth helped me understand more about market growth and how different funds worked and took the time to personalize an investment plan that worked best for me. Thanks to Ruth my future is now very bright and secure in knowing I will never outlive my finances.

I can say with certainty that Ruth stands out as the best investment mind I’ve ever dealt with over the 40+ years I’ve been investing money. Ruth is responsive, always available and her office runs like a well-oiled machine.
