TriDelta Financial

What TriDelta Financial does

TriDelta Private Wealth is an independent, founder-led Canadian wealth management firm established in 2005 by Ted Rechtshaffen and headquartered in Toronto, with a second office in Oakville, Ontario. The firm serves affluent Canadian households—typically those with net worth above $3 million—across seven provinces (Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia). Its core offering is an integrated, fee-based advisory relationship spanning financial planning, discretionary investment management, bespoke insurance solutions, and estate planning, delivered through a team of 14+ advisors and specialists.

The firm operates three service tiers: a Full Client Engagement (an ongoing, comprehensive relationship), a Plan Only Engagement (a one-time financial plan priced at $2,500-$5,000), and an Insurance Only Engagement (policy review at no charge as an entry point). Underlying capabilities include proprietary investment vehicles (TriDelta Pension Equity Fund and TriDelta Growth Equity Fund), access to alternative investments typically reserved for institutional investors, and custody through National Bank Independent Network (NBIN). Advisor qualifications—dual Certified Financial Planner and Registered Investment Counsellor credentials—are a stated differentiator.

The revenue model is primarily AUM-based with a tiered fee schedule (1.69% on the first $500K, declining to 0.75% above $5M) plus one-time planning fees and insurance commissions. Marketing relies on thought leadership through BNN Bloomberg appearances, a Financial Post column, Globe and Mail Financial Facelift case studies, the Canadian Wealth Wisdom Podcast, webinars, and free educational tools (calculators, guides). The firm remains privately held with no external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional ownership disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Assets Under Management (AUM) Fees: Full Client Engagements are charged a fee based on investment assets under management using a tiered schedule that declines as the portfolio grows. This fee encompasses all TriDelta services and ensures interests align with clients. Clients can benefit from tax-deductible management fees applied to non-registered investment accounts.
2. Financial Planning Fees: Plan Only Engagements are applied a fee dependent on the complexity of the client's needs, typically ranging between $2,500 and $5,000. This is a one-time fee for a complete financial plan with option to extend to full client engagement.
3. Insurance Solutions: Life and health insurance solutions through relationships with virtually every insurance company in Canada. Insurance is positioned as a powerful tax and estate planning tool integrated into holistic financial plans.
