What is Newport Private Wealth?
Newport Private Wealth was founded in 2001 to address shortcomings in traditional private wealth management, like how Canadians with over $1 million in investable assets lacked access to independent financial advice, diversified and lower-risk investment strategies, private investment opportunities, and comprehensive financial planning.

The firm adopts a client-first business model, with its founders investing their own money as Newport’s initial clients.
Over time, Newport grew its presence in Canada as a private wealth management, offering tailored financial solutions and emphasizing stability, confidentiality, and holistic planning.
With offices in Toronto, Calgary, Kelowna, Kingston, and Waterloo, Newport Private Wealth serves clients nationwide, leveraging a collaborative, team-based approach.
