We design your financial journey.

Aura Wealth Management (AWM) creates bespoke wealth management strategies using sophisticated investment techniques for business owners, professionals and their families. With Raymond James Ltd. and Raymond James (USA) Ltd., AWM also provides solutions for Canadians, Americans, and dual-citizens with cross-border investment and financial planning needs. The AWM team has over 50 years of combined experience.

Our business is people. Then. Now. Always. It’s easy to remember what counts most in hard times when it’s what counts most in good ones too. Through upticks, downturns, burst bubbles and historic bull markets, we’ve never lost sight of that fact that there’s a person behind every portfolio. Since 1962, people have been the heart of Raymond James. And in times like these, we return that strength.

We put the needs of our clients first. And we chose to partner with Raymond James because we believe the firm is also dedicated to your best interests. The firm delivers industry-leading support, superior client service, and the financial planning and investment resources of a premier financial services company.

While Raymond James has the resources to match even the largest firms’ capabilities, our focus is on building close-knit individual relationships based on trust and integrity.

The firm’s culture of independence allows us to work closely with you to create custom solutions to your short- and long-term financial challenges.

We’re honoured to partner with a firm whose founding principles of client first, conservatism, independence and integrity remain refreshingly at the forefront, and especially appreciate the priority placed on supporting our relationships with our clients. Those values have helped Raymond James become one of the largest independent financial services firms in our industry, with a long-term track record of stability and growth.
