Our Story
Like all great stories, this one begins with two friends. It was refreshing to find another individual in the financial industry with similar views on how to run a business. Although Brad was two decades behind Maurice in the business, he had found a mentor who had built his practice the right way. And in Brad, Maurice had a found a friend who brought a wealth of education and exuberance to their interactions. As in all great friendships, they each brought their own unique style and together have fostered an environment of support and growth.
The firm has expanded to include Chris Matte, Maurice’s son, to the team of advisors. Like Brad, Chris was inspired by the opportunities that a boutique wealth management firm like Matte & Associates offers its clients and came with a passion and determination to continue reimagining the company and industry as a whole.
With the purpose of providing holistic financial services aligned with client’s goals, lifestyle, and ideals, Matte & Associates has since grown to be one of Manulife’s highest performing firms.
When asked why Maurice, Brad, and Chris have been so successful together, they respond “We begin each day with respect, love, and honesty. We treat each other and all those we encounter with integrity, with fairness, and with kindness. We don’t do this to be successful in business, though that is a rewarding by-product. We do this because we strive to be better people, and ultimately to give more back to the world we are so fortunate to inhabit”.
OUR VISION
To continually be recognized as diligent leaders and trusted stewards to help our clients fulfill their life goals. We distinguish ourselves by being the most responsive and by being dedicated to delivering innovative solutions to our clients.
Our Values
Our mission is to achieve an unequaled standard of excellence in our profession. We strive to create, maximize, protect and foster our clients’ enjoyment of wealth through excellence in service and innovative financial product design. We do this by advocating for them to make informed financial decisions that reflect their value system, love of family, and commitment to community.
We seek meaningful, authentic long-term client relationships and we achieve them by listening and understanding our clients’ financial needs and objectives. These two values can only be realized after spending time together, either in person or in conversation. Our clients share intimate, personal and financial information so that we can affect a sound, long term plan together that is tailored to their preferences, concerns and needs. Mutual trust and respect are essential to the relationship. Our goal as advisors is to keep our clients informed and feeling secure about what is going on with their finances. We want to hear about their hopes, wishes and dreams and, over time, work with them to turn those desires into reality.
"We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest standard of client service and satisfaction.
We don’t just say it, we practice it every day!"
Our business has grown over the years because our clients regularly refer family, friends, neighbors and business colleagues. Referrals are the highest compliment and our clients’ success is our success!
We always act with integrity and transparency. Everything we do is done to care for our clients’ best financial interests—from who we hire and partner with, to the research we conduct, to the strategies we develop, to how we interact with our clients. While our investment approach is structured and disciplined, it is also designed to account for the reality of dynamic markets. We continually evaluate data and seek new ways to examine relationships as markets evolve. This proactive approach also applies to the way we think about our clients’ total financial pictures ~ anticipating their needs and changing circumstances and positioning them for success within that context.
OUR DEDICATION
We are dedicated to helping others succeed. By nurturing and maintaining an open-door working relationship, we commit to researching, discussing and explaining our strategies to help ensure our clients remain fully protected in all areas of their lives throughout the good times and the bad.

As written by Matt August… As two young entrepreneurs, born into a family with a long legacy in the Okanagan – we feel like the August Family Foundation is our way of giving back to the community that has given so much to us. With the passing of Gary August, we realized how the community touched him, and the life the community gave him. We realized this after the amazing amount of people who came forward with heartfelt memories and condolences; we knew he was an amazing person but didn’t know how much he touched the people around him. I then realized it’s not what you have in life, it’s the people in it that make the difference and for that, I thank him.
Our first event with the Central Okanagan Hospice Association was very important to us. The organization took unbelievable care of one of our own, Uncle Gary. The way that they were taken care of felt as though it wasn’t their job, it was their passion. Our focus with the August Family Foundation is to help charities within the Okanagan who have helped touched locals in the valley.
