Having known Barry since he started in the investment business, and understanding his passion for insightful, strategic investing, I was not the least bit surprised when he told me he was launching his own portfolio management practice. Excited to hear his good news, his plans, and his enthusiasm, I begged him to allow me to become his first client. Having known me since he started in the investment business, and understanding my passion for both insightful, strategic, and cautious portfolio management, he welcomed me as Client One. Since that first day, I have not only enjoyed better-than-average portfolio performance, I have observed his passion for serving his clients properly and carefully. Better than most portfolio managers I know, Barry is keenly aware of the trust his clients put in him, and does his utmost to communicate with each of us on a regular, consistent basis. So, if you are looking for someone to trust; for sleep-at-night and peace-of-mind, just do what I did – become a client of Barry Hirowatari.

With days that only seem to get busier as the years pass by, I found that the markets—and by extension, our stock portfolios—were taking a back seat to business and family. And rightfully so! Moving our stock portfolio over to BTH Tactical seemed to be in the best interest of "capital preservation" and came with promising upside (given collective years of experience that rivaled my own age). After careful consideration on our part, and a confident response from the principles of BTH, we took the plunge. Haven't looked back since.

I am recently retired, with 27 years of exemplary law enforcement, related service to Canada and its citizens.  I consider myself a small investor with a RRIF that serves as my fallback fund should my current medical issues require extraordinary funding.  It is, therefore, very important to me that I trust my investments to those I feel most confident in to provide stability and continuing growth in my portfolio.  Barry Hirowatari and his daughter Amanda O'Reilly have credentials that most others in the financial investment field wish they had, as well as many years experience successfully managing other's assets while outperforming many of the large financial investment firms.  I know them both personally and know them to be ethically driven and of trustworthy character.  My investment portfolio may be small, but it is safe, solid and in the best hands possible for my needs.  Thank you Barry and Amanda for the peace of mind you bring me.

I have had the pleasure of working with Barry over the last few years. There are two things that come to mind about Barry....knowledge and integrity. He has tremendous knowledge of the financial industry and that comes from the hard work that he does each and every day. Integrity and trust, are what he is all about, once you have established that, investing becomes less stressful and more rewarding.

Barry Hirowatari has been my financial advisor for over 25 years. The foundation of our relationship is trust. I have never doubted that he was genuinely pursuing my best interests, informing me of opportunities and savings, while cautioning me where my suggestions may have included unwarranted risk. While Barry’s strategies do not tie him to conventional thinking, neither are they indefensible or rogue. I appreciate that Barry always has answers that substantiate his actions. The combination of sound character that I can trust with innovative strategy that is logically supported, gives me financial confidence.
