Reviews
Ekenna and William are great financial planners! Take time listening to understand your long term goals for retirement!
I met William through a mutual friend who invited me to one of his on-line sessions. I learned more in that session than I have in any of the previous financial or investment seminars I've attended. William was genuinely concerned that he explained the concepts so that everyone understood and was available at the end of the session for questions if needed. the content of the session was of very good quality and very valuable to me as I was needing to make a decision about my future investments. I was so impressed I requested an individual consult and ended up transferring my accounts to Bay Street! I've not regretted my decision and am very pleased to have such a qualified and passionate advisor. I recommended him to my family members and also to the company where I work because of his passion and responsiveness.
I started working with Ekenna a little under a year ago and he has been fantastic. I finally feel like my finances are under control and I have a clear direction on how to create some financial security. And if I do have a question on new investments, he's quick and responsive!
Working with Bay Street Capital Holdings has been an amazing experience. I have been able to have personal calls with my advisor, which is also the founder, and get great feedback. They listen to your goals and develop a plan to build a great portfolio.
We are very thankful to be working with BSCH. They are very professional and resourceful. Looking forward to a long lasting relationship. Thanks Will and Ekenna.
We had a fantastic experience with the Bay Street team. We were novices in terms of financial planning and investment when we approached Ekenna and William. They started off by guiding us in developing a road map of where we needed to go financially and then helped us get started on that path.
Bay Street has given returns on my portfolio way above par. William's insight into forecasting future returns based on industry and individual company trends is truly amazing. How William explains his logic is easy to understand and leaves on with comfort that the investment portfolio s well managed and balanced.
