Still banging your head against the wall trying to achieve YOUR vision and lifestyle?

  • Treated like a round peg in a square hole?

  • Aggravated with being just a number instead of a person?

  • Not sure if your journey is possible or even on the right track?

    • Been there!

    • Done that!

    • Got the T-shirt! 

  That's why People Insurance was founded.

INTRODUCTION

After acquiring over three decades of industry experience from working with large-scale institutions and specialty financial service boutique firms, Gary Schneider was finally tired of the rhetoric and lip service that was being spewed about improving the client service experience and became an "independent" financial advisor and founder of the People Insurance financial services platform.

This approach represents people just like you, seeking unbiased counsel and quality service through education, to make informed decisions so they can stay in control.

DOES THIS SEEM LIKE YOU?

  • You want an approach that uses a personalized solution to service the life you envision and helps you manage your success in light of unforeseeable changes in your life.

  • You're the sort of person who wants to sit in the driver's seat and take charge of the decisions and guide the outcomes. That's called being RESPONSIBLE.

  • You also want a solution set that works TODAY and stands up to what life throws at you tomorrow. So, it's gotta be fast and easy to implement, and it also needs to be flexible for changes. That's called being PRACTICAL.

People Insurance delivers on the mantra:

"Practical Solutions for
Responsible People"

Key Advantage: Separating the solution from the sale.

Getting independent unbiased advice means that there’s transparency and a clear detachment from the financial institution that might form part of your solution design. In fact, blending more than one provider’s solution with another may even be the better fit for you, personally. 

You’ll quickly notice that this is a drastic departure from just being sold cookie-cutter products by a bank or brokerage firm.

CORE PHILOSOPHY

The idea of launching People Insurance was based on a quite simple concept: People like you are not just numbers and require personalized solutions. Surprisingly enough, it turns out that that those solutions end up being cheaper to implement when they are customized for your unique needs.

But because big banks and brokerage firms are more interested in mass marketing their own products to you with the force of hammering a round peg into a square hole, you may be wiling to simply accept inferior solutions at a higher price. The key reason you might accept this kind of treatment is because you may be intimidated by the language of money and the math behind the curtain.

So, what if we pull away the curtain like they did in the “Wizard of Oz”? Well, you would see that with the right ‘rigging’ in place, anyone can pull a switch and a lever and make the same mystery happen. It only took Dorothy a second to catch-on to suppressed information.

The first step is getting wise to how money works and then getting it to work for you.

It's no surprise why this approach promotes stronger financial literacy.


In fact, if you have a willingness to learn and can count – even if it means using your fingers or a calculator – you already have enough of what it takes to make your money work for you instead of the banks.

Using a custom solution means not paying for more than what you need.

Any solution you have should only include the bells and whistles that makes sense for your particular situation -- allowing you to save on cost.

When you combine KNOWING what’s right for you, with GETTING what’s right for you, you end up with a solution that’s affordably more effective.

ADVISOR BACKGROUND

Gary obtained a degree in Commerce and Economics from the University of Toronto and made his start in the financial services industry well over 30 years ago as an analyst and stock broker with several leading Toronto "Bay Street" securities firms before advancing his career to delivering large-scale project-driven management solutions for international financial institutions (banks; trust companies; insurance and securities firms), software companies, trades (construction; manufacturing), and healthcare.

Gary adapted and distilled many successful methods used exclusively by such large organizations into more grass-roots processes that are easy-to-understand and simple-to-deploy for the average person or small business owner. He's taken the essence of what works on a practical level into executing real solutions for real people.

Gary practices as an independent financial broker, licensed in Ontario, delivering personalized cost-effective and custom financial solutions to individuals, families, and small business owners across Ontario. 

Depending on the need, he works collaboratively with other independent advisors and specialists (e.g., lawyers; accountants; investment advisors; financing & lending brokers; etc.) to ensure that clients have access to a broad range of unbiased advice and well-rounded solutions.

Gary and his wife reside in the quiet rural community of Halton Hills, Ontario.
