At Markdale Financial Management, we understand the importance of aligning your investments with your philanthropic and personal values. Our family office offers a comprehensive approach to managing wealth that ensures your financial strategies reflect your ethical principles and charitable goals. Here’s how we can assist you:
Crafting a Personalized Investment Policy Statement (IPS)
We begin by collaborating with you to define your core values and financial objectives. This involves creating a family mission statement that articulates your ethical priorities and long-term goals. With this foundation, we develop tailored Investment Polices that removes guesswork from decision making, ensuring your portfolios are aligned with your personal beliefs and philanthropic aspirations.
Implementing Values-Based and ESG Investing
Our approach includes integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into your investment portfolio. By holding investments that aligned with your values, we help you invest in a manner consistent with your goals. This strategy not only seeks competitive financial returns but also contributes positively to social and environmental outcomes.

Facilitating Impact Investing Opportunities
We can identify and evaluate impact investment opportunities that generate measurable social or environmental benefits alongside financial returns. By investing in ventures that align with your philanthropic interests, we enable you to make a meaningful impact while at the same time growing your wealth.
Legacy Planning: Ensuring Your Values Endure Across Generations
Building a legacy is about more than just wealth in numbers—it’s about passing down values, principles, and a vision for the future. We help families implement management processes that ensure their investments reflect not only their financial goals but also their personal and philanthropic values for generations to come.
Through careful implementation, we assist in defining how your wealth will be managed and distributed in alignment with your mission. Whether it’s setting up trusts, guiding family discussions on responsible stewardship, or ensuring future generations remain engaged with impact-driven investments, we do the work to preserve your financial legacy.
Additionally, we help document and articulate your legacy in a way that future generations can follow, ensuring continuity in decision-making, responsible wealth management, and alignment with the values that matter most to your family.
Providing Comprehensive Reporting and Oversight
We offer detailed reporting on both the financial performance and the ESG impact of your investments. Our reports provide a clear, data-driven view of how your portfolio is performing, not just in terms of financial returns but also in alignment with your personal and philanthropic values.
This transparency ensures you have a complete picture of how your assets are working toward your financial goals while making a measurable difference in the areas that matter most to you. Whether it’s tracking ESG metrics, evaluating carbon footprints, or assessing the impact of your investments on social initiatives, our reporting helps you make informed decisions with confidence.
