We are a full service, independently owned Managing General Agency. We work with some of the top independent financial advisors in the industry. We process their applications, we provide them with in-depth product knowledge, we help them in whatever it takes to make them a better advisor to you.

Kevin is the CEO of QFS. Now this being a bio, we should tell you things such as: when Kevin started out in the industry (1982), how many awards he’s won (many), and how many lives he’s changed (even more than awards). But we feel you should get to know Kevin from a different angle.

Being the creative person at QFS, I must say, does come with some perks. One of them being: I get to write stuff, fun stuff. So, who’s Kevin in my eyes? He is: a dog person, a watch collector, a father to 4, a husband to 1, a mind-changer, a game changer, a good listener, a bad pretender, a vision invision-er, a wine taster, an art enthusiast, a latte drinker, a story teller, a business owner, a business lover.

Kevin Cott is a person who stumbled upon an industry sometime ago and who started a company now ranked as one of Canada’s fastest growing MGAs simply because of the passion that he gained for that industry.

To be President at any organization, one needs more than just experience. There has to be integrity, tremendous leadership skills, and an overall love for the game. Nick Simone is the President of QFS. Let’s for now put aside his over 25 years of business experience and the numerous executive positions he has held. We want to introduce to you Nick, the real Nick, the man beneath the suit. Nick Simone is a visionary, with a drive and dedication to achieve that vision. He is compassionate, optimistic and never stops motivating the entire team to be the best at what we do.

Prior to becoming President at QFS, Nick was President at Walton Capital Management, where he oversaw Walton’s expansion into the Toronto and Eastern Markets. As President of QFS, Nick will endeavour to build a similar success environment, continuing and furthering our ongoing dedication to the advisors we work with and the expansion of QFS as an organization.

Experience, integrity,leadership, knowledge, all packaged together and gift wrapped with a suit and tie. What more can we ask for? Yes, one more thing about Nick: he is not a believer in the word ‘stress’, he refers to it as ‘life’. Love life and there will be no stress. Now, you tell us what kind of person he is.
