Dan Good
President and Advisor - Edmonton Dan was born and raised in Alberta and learned from an early age the virtue of saving money. He comes from a family with 7 children and is thankful that he was able to attend and graduate from the University of Alberta in 1980 with a degree in Commerce. His investing experience began in September of 1981 when he was compelled to take advantage of high interest rates, but was misguided by an “advisor” into equities and a 1 year term deposit at 20% when a bond fund was more appropriate. He soon after became licensed and earned the nick name “Dan Bond” when he invested the majority of his client’s assets in bond funds up until 1994. When interest rates became quite low his focus for clients then changed to funds that relied on the deep discount value method and was at one time the top shareholder of Cundill funds. His firm now manages in excess of $200 million in client’s assets. Mutual funds are sold through D.W. Good. |

Michael Good
Financial Advisor - Edmonton Michael was born in Edmonton and raised on investment strategies and concepts that were part of the family conversation growing up. In 2011, Michael began his career with DW Good Investments while studying Economics and Mathematics at the University of Alberta. He developed his organizational skills while learning hands on the requirements of various industry regulatory bodies. Today he focuses on developing individual and family client wealth. He is dedicated to the concept of growth at a reasonable price. The current low interest rate environment challenges advisors to provide both growth and safety for their clients. Michael’s approach is to balance a portfolio taking advantage of undervalued equity mutual funds, and through diversification of domestic and international markets adding speciality funds based on a client’s individual needs. It’s important to Michael that he, as an independent mutual fund advisor, can access a very broad range of mutual funds to benefit his clients. Personally, Michael enjoys time with his lady and his puppy; he plays hockey in the winter and baseball in the summer with old friends and the new team members he meets each year. He has travelled extensively and loves the opportunity to see new places and cultures. Mutual funds are sold through DW Good Investments. |

Laszlo Szojka
Investment Advisor - St. Albert Laszlo Szojka has over 25 years of investment experience in the financial services industry. He first started investing while still in high school in 1986 and was intrigued by the 1987 market correction. Though the markets and investing were of interest, he studied science and engineering at the University of Alberta. During his years at university, he traveled to Europe shortly after the Iron Curtain fell and witnessed the rebirth of capitalism first hand. Due to the extremely weak job market for young professionals in Canada in the early 1990’s from the ongoing recession, he decided to completely change his career focus and go into the investment industry in 1992. Laszlo has a certificate in financial planning and has completed industry courses in investment funds, a branch managers’ course, and an officers’ and directors’ course. He is also licensed for life insurance and accident and sickness insurance. Laszlo built his business one family at a time and joined D. W. Good Investment Company Ltd. in 1996. Presently, Laszlo employs two full-time staff to assist in a diverse financial practice of assisting individuals, families, high net-worth clients, group clients and businesses. Mutual funds are sold through D.W. Good. Laszlo is married and has three children. He is involved with the community through the St. Albert Rotary Club. |
