Perspectives on working with dentists
With an education in finance and experience managing high-net-worth accounts in banking, Shiv joined CDSPI with a mission to help his clients understand the financial planning process and why it is important for them to maintain the discipline necessary for them to enjoy and thrive during their retirement years.
Shiv believes in frequent and fulsome communication to keep his clients informed about their investments and to help them stay current with their changing environment. This is the best way to build confidence and trust over time. “I want my clients to have a 30,000-foot view of their finances to see where they are today, where they would like to be in the future and what they need to do to get there. There will be ups and downs but being patient and staying committed are the keys to success.”

The foundation of a financial plan is an awareness of one’s financial needs to create and execute strategies for success. “I think the one thing that I would say is that even though dentists are busy, it is important to take the time to get involved in the financial planning process, and periodically review the progress with a financial checkup.”
Shiv’s family keeps him pretty busy outside of work. He enjoys playing sports including soccer and tennis. Shiv is a singer often performing for family and friends’ events and he hosts a Punjabi music show on a multi-cultural radio station in Calgary. He has also served on the boards of not-for-profit organizations.
