Investment Banking Experts 2025

I’m a bit of an oxymoron: a “numbers person” with a passion for people. Born and raised in the United States, after completing undergraduate and graduate degrees in Economics and Finance, my love of culture and new experiences led me to London to pursue a career in investment banking with a particular interest in the Consumer and Technology sectors. I love to connect with like-minded professionals throughout the financial services industry and more broadly. Please do not hesitate to reach out.

I am currently a Vice President at Dinan & Company. I have a background in financial and advertising sales, and I was a licensed life insurance agent in Arizona. I'm a passionate and goal-driven individual. Strong verbal and listening skills. Very comfortable working in a group and interacting with new people.

I work with you and your family to build your portfolio and develop a stable recurring income for your lifetime and that of your loved ones.We try to make that income tax efficient, so that we have as much after-tax income in your pocket to provide you with a comfortable retirement. For your non-registered monies, we generate tax preferred income through Canadian dividends that receive the dividend tax credit.As an example, there is a family I work with that receives about $100,000 in Canadian dividends every year from their joint account. Of this amount, $50,000 is taxed in each spouse's tax return along with their RRIFs and government pensions. As such, they pay very little taxes and have almost all of that income for their living needs. The dividends are of Canadian companies that are common shares and preferred shares. The common shares are of large dominant businesses with stable earnings enough to fund the dividends; like banks, telecoms, pipelines/utilities, insurance companies, etc.These companies are the type that clients are generally very comfortable with holding. Although the common share prices can fluctuate up and down through time, they have typically paid dividends for more than 50 years and are ones I feel can continue to pay well into the future. In addition to common shares, we hold higher quality Canadian preferred shares to generate tax preferred income and stability to your portfolio.We structure your personal investments to act like a pension. We use a fund to hold up to a year of cash needs. From this fund we take regular monthly withdrawals and automate transfers to your bank account every month. We then scoup up the dividends to top up the fund.As we want you to have a well diversified portfolio, we hold bonds and foreign stocks in tax registered accounts, like an RRSP, RRIF or TFSA.I do more than just managing investments. I provide estate planning to make sure your estate will pass to your spouse, children and other loved ones in a tax efficient way. And through financial planning, we want to make sure your financial situation doesn't get derailed if "life happens".The biggest value some say I provide, is that you and your family have someone who is experienced and knowedgeable in financial matters to help you, your spouse and children (especially after you have passed away) throughout your lives.I look forward to hearing from you:Office Tel: 604-288-2083Toll free: 1-855-855-9267 Extension 2Office Email: steve@lycosasset.comKindest regards,Steve Nyvik, BBA, MBA, CIM, CFP, R.F.P.
