"To Whom It May Concern;
I have known Mr. Ivon Hughes for over 25 years. In 1987, I purchased from him a participating whole life insurance policy of $254,000.00 with Canada Life to cover my mortgage and my family.
At the time, I was just beginning a professional accounting practice and did not have a lot of personal equity and was married with 2 young children and wanted to provide security for my family. I managed to pay the monthly premiums and the policy generated cash value from which I could borrow.
I used this borrowing power to finance my daughter’s trip abroad as well as my son’s education and special occasion celebrations.
I still have this policy today and can attest to the fact that the security this policy provided helped me through some difficult times.
As an added benefit, which can’t really be anticipated for future purchases, I received shares of Canada Life on demutualization, which led to a significant capital gain.
I can therefore strongly recommend whole life insurance with dividends for any individual with a young family who is starting a business or profession. And Ivon is the man to buy it from. He gave me a full choice of companies in this and subsequent purchases. Of course he also looks after my clients"

"As an independent working woman, I realized in June 2003 that I better get a guarantee that my income would continue if I became disabled. I contacted Ivon who shopped the market (I have enough of my own shopping to do) for the best disability insurance quote and who got me a great policy at a great price. Now I know I have tax free income and if you, the reader, are not protecting your most valuable asset, your income, you should do something about it."

"For some time I had been looking for a good broker to guide me through the jungle of life insurance and most particularily, a disability insurance quote. Somehow I landed on Ivon's site, uncertain of what questions to ask and what was involved. Ivon supplied various types of disability insurance quotes from different companies until we agreed on the type of policy I needed.Now that I have a monthly income secure, and tax-free too, I do not have to be concerned if I become unable to work.I fully recommend his services."

"Hi Ivon. I know you have tried to call. I have been away lately. Just
to keep you posted I am negotiating with a potential employer. Now that
I am better armed with info on life insurance, I am making sure that they
include it in the final offer. If everything plays out the way it should
I will not be needing any supplemental insurance for the time being. Should
I need anything in the future I will be sure to contact you. Appreciated
your help and honesty."

"I
would like to thank Mr. Hughes for providing great service. He found
us the
best price for our insurance needs. Orginally, I had doubts about working
with an insurance company so far from us but Mr. Hughes has done a great
job!"

"I
have been dealing with Ivon Hughes at Hughes Trustco Group since 1989 for
all of my family's insurance requirements.
What
convinced me to deal with Hughes Trustco initially was the attention paid
to every detail as well as the manner in which I was able to view the rates
of many insurance companies and then make a decision on the best value for
my dollar.
I
am pleased to say that 15 years later, my insurance needs are still met with
the same interest and attention as they were in 1989!
I
have attached the first page of a sample quote from 1990 to show that he
provides all the quotes from all the companies in order to make a decision.

"To
whom it may concern,
It
is my pleasure to furnish this letter of reference in favour of Mr. Ivon
T. Hughes.
My acquaintenship with Mr. Hughes began in 1991, at which
time he asked me to set up his office with current computer technology. My
association with Mr. Hughes and his company, Hughes Trustco was and continues
to be a pleasurable one.
In the period of 1991 to date, I subsequently became a client to Mr. Hughes
and Hughes Trustco. I placed several investments with him, and now in my
retirement, I can report that he was able to invest wisely on my behalf.
It is worth noting also, that Mr. Hughes intervened on my behalf of a particularly
difficult investment I had made prior ro our association, and one involving
a liquidated investment company. While the issue remains to be satisfactorily
resolved, Mr. Hughes nonetheless contributes to moving it forward, and for
which I am most grateful.
In
summary then Madam or Sir, I can state that my association with Mr. Hughes
and his company, Hughes Trustco, has be most satisfactory both as a supplier
of services and as a client.
If
I can be of any further service, please feel free to call upon me."

"I met Ivon a couple of years ago when he presented me with term life insurance quotes from different companies for our partnership insurance. I examined various proposals and decided to buy 4 term life insurance policies that suited us best.
However, I was unable to buy a critical illness policy which is very important to protect your income, as I was resident in the USA. Now that I have returned, I am applying for a critical illness policy so that in the event of a major illness, I will receive a lump sum payment. This gives me peace of mind as my family is protected by a cash payment if I live or the term life insurance payout if I die.
Wes Ramage

"As I have a family and an income to protect, I needed to find coverage which was well affordable and comprehensive.
Because of the low cost, Ivon recommended term life insurance and supplied me with quotes from all the carriers. And he did the same for my critical illness policy, explaining in detail the different terms and prices.
I purchased the critical illness policy to protect my income and my family in the event of sickness. In addition, the term life insurance policy protects my family if I should die. I fully recommend Ivon to anyone seeking independent life insurance advice."
M. Hebert

"As the President of Clearstone Group, I requested through Ivon’s website term life insurance quotes for our partnership agreement. He supplied us with quotes from all the carriers from which we chose Canada Life to protect our families. It was a simple and easy procedure. Then to back up that policy, we took critical illness policies to pay us a lump sum in the event of a major sickness and so that the company could continue its work without having to support a partner who could no longer contribute. Now we intend to apply for health insurance. Overall, let me say that I am more than happy with Ivon’s work and I recommend him as a broker who supplies you with the information you need."
Frank Famularo - President,The Clearstone Group

"As a partner in a major business , I was introduced to Ivon through the internet as someone who would deal with us fairly and simplify the mysteries of term life insurance and critical illness insurance.
Subsequently, I have purchased both term life insurance and critical illness insurance and am well satisfied with how our business has been handled. Dealing with Ivon has saved the company money because of his ability to answer questions about what coverage precisely was needed.
If you don’t have critical illness to protect your income and term life insurance to protect your family, I suggest you get it now."
