"My relationship with The Blando Group began in 2008 when I purchased my first Pharmacy and required assistance with my protection strategy. Right from the beginning, I noticed that The Blando Group was dedicated to providing me with excellent service and only the most suitable advice. They took the time necessary to understand me and my unique financial situation before providing me with the solutions I needed. This gave me comfort that they were not just “sales motivated”, but advice motivated and fact driven.
As a result of the Blando Groups thorough analysis of my situation and collaborating with my creditors, I have been able to successfully finance my acquisitions and protect mine and my business partners interests from worst case scenerios.
After attending one of the Blando Groups timely educational events, entitled “Beer & Bonds”, I made the decision to have The Blando Group assist with the management of my investments. Given the degree of risk I am subject to as a business owner, The Blando Group manages my investments with a prudent mandate, and I have been very satisfied with the results.
As a Pharmacist and business owner, my days are very demanding and my financial situation is becoming increasingly complex. I value the fact that The Blando Group is a part of Scotiabank and works closely with my team of professionals, including my banker and accountant, to ensure my financial affairs are looked after.
I have been very pleased with the advice and service I receive from The Blando Group and would highly recommend them."

Robert Blando is not only my trusted wealth advisor, but also a friend. Over the past 15 years, I have turned to Robert and his team for timely advice in all aspects of my financial life. I trust Robert and his Team to provide me with unbiased and comprehensive financial strategies..
Prior to working with The Blando Group, I suffered through different financial advisors at other firms. As a professional Realtor, I understand and appreciate excellent service and attention to detail. I find that and more with Robert's Team.
They maintain regular contact and keep me informed with changes within my accounts and financial plan and continually educate through media convenient for my needs; e-mails, website updates and fun educational events.

Linda and I were introduced to Robert Blando and his Team by Jim Kurz the then Manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia, Portage Ave and Vimy Road in Winnipeg. We have been satisfied clients of ScotiaMcLeod and specifically Robert Blando and Associates since 2001.
We have found their service to be prompt, courteous and efficient whenever we have had requests or questions regarding our investments. Robert often answers the phone in person and if he is not available it will not be long before he calls you back.
Like many pharmacists and former pharmacists we are conservative investors and Robert and the team have respected our needs when recommending potential investments and our portfolio is responding satisfactorily.
Pharmacists desiring a more personalized discussion may contact us at jdboyd@bell.net.

Bryan (CGA) and Val of Winnipeg wrote; We have been saving and investing for our retirement for over 20 years. We felt that little attention was paid to our account by our former financial planner. We subsequently moved our account to Scotiabank and then to Robert Blando Group with ScotiaMcLeod. We recognize the active management of our account by Robert and his team and appreciate the attention to detail. You can be an active or passive investor and in our case, it is not uncommon to get a call from Robert to discuss an investment opportunity but never feel pressured to make a decision; we have never disagreed with his direction.
We feel very comfortable and are satisfied with the Blando team and have never looked back. Since moving to Robert’s team, we have had a complete financial plan prepared for us which has prepared us for our retirement. In addition, we were considering withdrawing a significant amount from our investments for a discretionary purchase. Robert’s team came up with a plan to make our purchase without touching our investments. We are very pleased with the results that have been achieved and the advice we have received.

We recently moved to Manitoba and were referred to the Robert Blando group by a family member. During our initial meeting it was easy to see that Robert truly cared about getting to "know"/understand his clients and truly wanted to set up a portfolio that would suit our needs. His knowledge of investments best suited for our portfolio was outstanding. The Blando Group are always prompt to reply to our phone calls, and answer our many investment related questions. The Blando group offers a full array of services and provides expert assistance in a number of other areas. Additionally, we have also attended some of the many seminars that are offered to their clients and always find them very informative and well organized. We proudly recommend Robert Blando and his group. In the two years that they have managed our portfolio their overall service has been outstanding.

“I have been a client of Robert Blando's for many years and am very satisfied with how my portfolio has been handled. He continually provides excellent service and advice.”

Due to our many moves across the country over the years, we had a few good and not so good experiences with various advisors on our investment portfolios. At times it was a struggle to find an adviser that is competent in his/her field and knows how to translate the expertise into terms that are easy for us to understand.
When we moved to Winnipeg, MB we finally found the not only good but great adviser in Robert Blando. We recently moved to Brandon, MB and have no intention of letting go of Robert; he is knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and has a great team to support him and us.
We have been with Robert for several years now and dread the day he may ever consider retirement.
