Let us introduce ourselves
Franklin & Donna Hinz
Franklin and Donna launched their business in the Winter of 1970, which has grown over the years and seen a few location changes within the city of Stratford. This lifelong team endeavour initially came to fruition in their residence on Elizabeth Street as they set out on their career path together. While their family grew, the business did as well with a move to the corner of Nile and Ontario Streets. The business surpassed that location in 1992 and was then established in the former Dr. Daisy Macklin House at the current location of 196 Ontario Street.
With over 50 years of experience in tax preparation, investments, bookkeeping and financial advice, Franklin and Donna welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry. They follow rigorous privacy practices and have a privacy policy that governs their use and handling of the information you provide to them. The Hinz team invites you to contact their office if you would like additional information about these practices.
They have always remained committed to meeting the needs of all of their clients on every interaction. That’s why most of their business is from repeat customers and referrals! Franklin and Donna look forward to assisting you with your financial needs today.
We act as agents for over twenty Canadian Chartered Bank and Trust Companies that are eligible to provide investments that qualify within the articles of incorporated condominiums. These banks and trust companies are all members of Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, CDIC, and are eligible to provide investments to the residents and corporations of Ontario. CDIC insures eligible deposits at each member institution up to a maximum of $100,000 (principal and interest combined) per depositor per insured category. They do not cover foreign currency deposits including US dollars. Eligible deposits include Term deposits, (such as Guaranteed Investment Certificates) with original terms to maturity of five years or less. Credit Unions are covered under Provincial Deposit Insurance. This insures eligible deposits at each member institution up to a maximum of $250,000 (principle and interest combined) for a term of up to five years per depositor per insured category.
As agents, we advise our clients on the investments and rates of return available though the companies that we represent. We process the information and documents that the companies require in order for them to determine if the investor qualifies for investment in their companies. After an investment has been completed and all parties are satisfied, we check that the investment certificate is correct as has been agreed upon. We also act on behalf of the investor to insure that on maturity the correct principal and interest are provided to the investor.
We have been members in good standing of the Registered Deposit Brokers Association for many years. Members are reviewed annually by the RDBA and are required to complete their anti-money laundering training.
Please, contact our office should you have questions or concerns.
