What Our Clients Have To Say


For more than 10 years, Rudina has been there to guide me in my investment decisions. Money decisions can be intimidating, but the relationship we have developed makes me feel confident with the financial decisions and plans we make together. Rudina takes the time to get to know me and my goals so that my investments can prepare me for the future while allowing me to live my good life now. I feel like I don't have to worry about my finances because they are in good hands.

Since 2017 I’ve had the good fortune of having Rudina as my Investment Advisor. Through RBC Dominion Securities, Rudina has introduced me to numerous new products that I otherwise would not have had access to, and it’s made a positive impact on my portfolio. I’ve learned a lot from Rudina and I now have a much clearer understanding of what my retirement will look like, financially speaking. I am really impressed by how seriously she takes her role and by how much time she puts into researching what kinds of investments are a good fit for me. I am grateful for her warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm.

I am incredibly grateful for the financial guidance I received from Rudina during a pivotal time in my life. After my divorce, I found myself with little knowledge about investing and planning for my future. Fortunately, a trusted friend and colleague referred me to Rudina, and right from our first meeting, I felt a sense of comfort and trust. Rudina's approach was both patient and thorough. She took the time to understand my entire life situation, providing valuable lessons and insights along the way. With her professionalism and expertise, she helped me create a comprehensive long-term plan that aligned with my goals and aspirations. As a team, Rudina and I navigated the world of investments, making wise decisions that ultimately allowed me to achieve early retirement. The results speak for themselves, and I am now enjoying a secure and fulfilling future, thanks to Rudina's guidance and support. I wholeheartedly recommend Rudina to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable financial planner.

Rudina has been our financial advisor for many years. She guided us through pre-retirement planning, establishing a perfect mix of investments with the correct risk profiles. Now 6 years post retirement, the investment plan that Rudina developed is performing as planned, giving us the financial security we need to enjoy retirement. We highly recommend Rudina.

I have been a long time RBC customer and have had a few financial advisors over the years. Rudina Bardhi has been my financial advisor for 12 years and I value the relationship we have built. I truly appreciate her integrity, work ethic, knowledge, commitment to continuing education, experience and advice. Rudina is personable and genuinely cares about her clients. She has helped me grow my portfolio while maintaining my risk comfort level and because I trust her abilities, I have referred my family and friends to her.

Over the last 11 years, my wife and I have formed a relationship with Rudina Bardhi, first when she was a Financial Advisor at our local branch and then when she transitioned over to RBC Dominion Securities. For us, this seemed only a natural progression to continue to grow our relationship and our investments. There is truly something to be said about having a long-term relationship with someone who has been able to understand our needs as we move closer and closer to our goal of retirement. Over the last 11 years, Rudina has given us the tools and understanding we need to make our retirement a reality. Without Rudina's strategic understanding of both of our investment comfort levels, we likely would not be where we are today. We look forward to continuing our relationship and building our investments with Rudina as we transition into a retirement lifestyle. Thank you again Rudina for helping guide us to where we are today.

My wife Adriana and I have been working on planning our retirement and seeking financial advice from Rudina Bardhi for over 12 years. Adriana and I have worked hard to save money for our retirement but that is only one part of the puzzle. Managing our savings is the second part, and this is where Rudina has truly helped. She is a very welcoming, friendly, professional, ethical and caring human being. The expertise and attention to detail with which she has handled our financial affairs impressed us from the very beginning and we are convinced we could not find better help. Because of that, for years now, Adriana and I have not been worried about our retirement savings, fully trusting Rudina’s judgement. Over time we’ve become friends with Rudina. She is close to our hearts, coming from a similar European background. We recommend Rudina to anyone who needs professional financial planning services. Friends of ours have already contacted Rudina and they are working with her on their retirement planning. They are as happy as we are with Rudina’s financial advice.

I arrived in Canada in 1966 and became a client of Royal Bank shortly thereafter. I worked in five different cities in Canada, and over that time I was a client of many advisors. The advice they gave me, including strategies and plans for my future, was excellent.

When I realized that retirement was on the horizon, I was lucky enough to be a client of Rudina Bardhi, who was transferring to RBC Dominion Securities. We reviewed my financial situation and changed to a new strategy for my future, which was a great comfort to me and my wife.

Through Rudina’s knowledge, experience and positivity we have built both trust and friendship. It’s a wonderful way to do business.

As I was not happy with my current investment firm, just prior to retirement I decided to interview a number of investment companies to determine who I should partner with to manage my retirement portfolio. As I had been banking with RBC, they became one of the candidate firms. I was pleased with the presentation and the investment package, and Rudina Bardhi was selected to manage our portfolio. Since we have begun working together, my wife and I have been thrilled with the service and support we have received.

In 2022, Rudina moved to RBC Dominion Securities. We were relieved and delighted to be invited to stay with Rudina and her Dominion Securities team. Over the last six years, through bullish and bearish economies, Rudina and her team have been unsurpassed in communicating, advising and responding to all of our investment requirements and concerns. With regular consultations and guidance, we have been extremely satisfied with the supervision, administration and implementation of our agreed-upon strategies. Rudina continues to offer value-added programs such as estate planning, family inventory guidance and premium banking.

With Rudina Bardhi, my wife and I are very comfortable with our current financial status and secure and confident in the future direction of our estate.
