Matching Technology

AI-Powered Advisor Matching

Our proprietary algorithm evaluates six critical dimensions to connect every Canadian investor with the advisor who fits their exact needs. Here is how it works.

The Process

From Profile to Perfect Match

The matching engine processes client requirements against all active advisor profiles in under 2 seconds.

1

Client Profile

Client submits goals, risk tolerance, portfolio size, and preferences

2

Factor Analysis

Algorithm evaluates all 6 matching dimensions for every active advisor

3

Score Calculation

Weighted scores computed with regulatory verification as a hard filter

4

Rank & Filter

Results ranked by composite score, filtered by availability and capacity

5

Top Matches

Client receives 3-5 best-fit advisors with detailed match breakdowns

6-Factor Algorithm

Six Dimensions. One Perfect Match.

Each factor is independently scored and weighted to produce a composite match score. The regulatory factor acts as a hard gate -- no match without valid CIRO registration.

1

Investment Specialization Match

Compares the client's investment objectives against each advisor's declared specializations. Wealth management, retirement, tax-efficient investing, ESG, corporate pensions, and more.

Weight: 25%
2

Portfolio Size Fit

Ensures the client's investable assets fall within the advisor's target range. An advisor who manages $5M+ portfolios is not the right fit for a $75K TFSA, and vice versa.

Weight: 20%
3

Fee Structure Alignment

Matches the client's compensation preference with the advisor's fee model. Fee-only, commission-based, flat-fee, or hybrid arrangements aligned from the start.

Weight: 15%
4

Regulatory Verification

Hard gate filter. Advisors must have active CIRO registration, valid provincial licensing, and verified designations. No registration means no match, regardless of other scores.

Weight: Pass/Fail Gate
5

Geographic Proximity

Factors in the client's location preference. Prioritizes local advisors for those wanting in-person meetings, and virtual-first advisors for remote clients.

Weight: 20%
6

Advisor Availability & Capacity

Only surfaces advisors actively accepting new clients with confirmed bandwidth. No matches with advisors at capacity or on intake pause.

Weight: 20%

Behind the Scenes

Data Sources & Verification

Every data point in the matching engine is sourced from authoritative registries and verified before it enters the algorithm.

Regulatory Data Sources

Advisor credentials are verified against Canada's official regulatory bodies to ensure accuracy and currency.

  • CIRO public registration database
  • Provincial securities commission records
  • CFA Institute member directory
  • FP Canada CFP registry
  • CSI designation verification
  • Disciplinary history cross-reference

Continuous Verification

Verification is not a one-time event. Our systems continuously monitor advisor status to keep matches accurate.

  • Weekly CIRO registration status checks
  • Automated alerts on registration changes
  • Designation expiry monitoring
  • Firm affiliation change detection
  • Real-time profile deactivation on status loss
  • Advisor self-reported data validation

Match Quality Signals

The algorithm improves over time by incorporating feedback signals from successful and unsuccessful matches.

  • Client satisfaction follow-up surveys
  • Advisor-client engagement tracking
  • Match acceptance and decline patterns
  • Time-to-first-meeting metrics
  • Long-term retention correlation analysis

Data Privacy in Matching

Client data used for matching is handled with strict privacy controls throughout the entire process.

  • Client identities not revealed until mutual opt-in
  • Matching inputs encrypted in transit and at rest
  • No financial account numbers used in matching
  • Client profiles purged after matching cycle
  • PIPEDA-compliant data handling at every step
