That vision began with H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Gagn\u00e9, Linda Johnston, and Andr\u00e9 Morin, who launched their careers in financial services in 1985, 1989, and 1995 respectively, and have since retired.<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning, they believed that maintaining true independence was essential to providing objective financial advice. They also became pioneers within Qu\u00e9bec&#8217;s wealth management industry by remaining independent, adopting a fee-based compensation model, and embracing exchange-traded funds (ETFs) long before they became mainstream.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\r\n                                                            \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"col-image\">\r\n            <figure class=\"image-figure\">\r\n\r\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/altafina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/helene-gagne-finance-et-investissement.png\"\r\n                   target=\"_blank\"\r\n                   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\r\n                   class=\"image-link\"\r\n                        >\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"custom-ratio ratio-one-one lws-radius lws-fade-item\">\r\n                        <picture class=\"\"><source media=\"(min-width:1536px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/altafina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/5650bc-032052de13f8489cae58e7521bba76c6mv2.png\"><source media=\"(min-width:1024px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/altafina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/5650bc-032052de13f8489cae58e7521bba76c6mv2.png\"><source media=\"(min-width:768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/altafina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/5650bc-032052de13f8489cae58e7521bba76c6mv2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/altafina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/5650bc-032052de13f8489cae58e7521bba76c6mv2.png\" alt=\"5650bc_032052de13f8489cae58e7521bba76c6~mv2\"><\/picture>                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                                    <\/a>\r\n            \r\n                                    <figcaption class=\"imageCaption lws-fade-item\">\r\n                        FINANCE ET INVESTISSEMENT.<br \/>\nArticle sur H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Gagn\u00e9: &#8220;Mon ADN se marie mieux avec les firmes ind\u00e9pendantes&#8221;.
