WHO WE ARE !!!

Perth Financial Group Inc. was established on July 01, 1998.

David Packham who previously had been employed by "Metlife Insurance Company" since April of 1992 initially formed the business.

Shortly thereafter Robert Zehr joined the business as an equal partner following his departure from "Metlife Insurance Company" as well.

The rationale of forming this business was to allow us the opportunity of being in a position to offer our clients the advantage of looking at different companies, their products and pricing, when choosing a product to suit their own individual needs.

Our mission is to provide our clients with financial planning and advise that is consistent with their goals and desires. We also pledge to serve our clients with confidentiality, honesty and integrity.

On March 01, 2005, we added an associate representative, Tina McEwin. We welcome Tina to the organization. Tina began her career with Clarica Insurance Company. Tina has the training and expertise to provide you with information and solutions to suit your financial goals and desires.
