Our Story

When First Nation receives a well-earned settlement it presents tremendous opportunities for their communities. However, there are also many challenges they must face when deciding on the best strategy to manage those large endowments. They need to strike the right balance between improving the lives of their community members today and creating generational wealth that can last for generations to come. That's where we can help.

Leaving a Lasting Legacy
Parpan Zohny Wealth Management has serviced the unique needs of the First Nation for many years. Over that time, we've become entrusted by many respected leaders to manage their trusts and create generational wealth. Our goals are to:

  • Manage your trust with integrity and vision
  • Generate sustainable wealth and increase disbursements every year
  • Provide financial literacy that empowers your entire community
  • Invest wisely in both local and global markets

Improving lives today. Planting the seeds for tomorrow.
Our sole focus is to serve the First Nations community. The financial settlements received and deposited into trust can provide you with the opportunity to create true financial sovereignty. We are both honored and humbled to be a part of this process.

Together, we have 40+ years of collective experience as Financial Advisors and will bring the vast global resources of Morgan Stanley to First Nation. Although Morgan Stanley is a firm of 80,000+ employees, we pledge to act as your partner and make this a very intimate experience.

Thank you,
Brad & Youssef

Sustainable Income. Sovereign Wealth.

Large settlements can infuse a community with great hope and possibilities, however, if not managed properly these assets can evaporate rapidly. Parpan Zohny Wealth Management has the experience, integrity, and global resources to manage your trust. Our overall mission is to create sustainable income and true financial sovereignty.

Greater independence for the indigenous people of First Nation.
Creating sustainable income and sovereign wealth is accomplished by growing the trust, which in turn increases annual distributions back to the Nation. As seasoned wealth managers, we'll work with you to customize an investment policy statement that addresses your short-term needs and long-term aspirations.

Laying the foundation for future generations
As the leaders of your community, you're looking for ways to improve the lives of your current members while keeping an eye on future generations. It takes vision, experience, and a global firm to help you strike that balance. Our approach is much like when you plant a tree today that will provide benefits that last for seven generations.

    5Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
