__ PUBLISHER’S NOTE

EAST MEETS WEST

I’m an adventurous spirit. It’s in my DNA. My life is defined by a natural curiosity and sense of wonder. These qualities led me to travel the world and push my own boundaries and preconceptions. I’m also a positive person with an energetic outlook, and to this day, I find value in every passing moment.

When I moved to Vancouver as a young man, I remember the excitement of a new place filled with amazing places, cultures and experiences. Neighbourhoods shaped by ethnicities, colourful characters, new food and diverse peoples working and playing together. It was so different people.

Today, I’m proud to call Vancouver home. I consider myself a Vancouverite and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Vancouver allows me to be me. And it also allows me the freedom to maintain a deep love and appreciation for other cultures, as well as my own.

I’ve always been an active participant in Vancouver’s Persian community. I feel like we have found a true home away from home. But there’s always room for improvement.

As much as I feel welcomed by Canada, from a business standpoint there seemed to be a gap between the Iranian community and the Canadian business world. In my work life, I’ve helped many local startups and companies grow and succeed over the past six years. I wondered, perhaps I can find a catalyst that connects Vancouver’s business establishment to Vancouver’s Persian community. Thus, the adventure that is ALEPH was borne. And what an adventure it’s been!

With ALEPH, my goal is to bridge the gap between the East and the West. We craft our magazine seasonally, to act as the gateway for Westerners to discover Eastern culture, as well as for Iranian immigrants to better understand Western values and traditions. I know that with ALEPH we can retrace the missing link and merge the cultural and business values of these two worlds with valuable, eminent content.

I believe that food, travel, luxury goods and success stories play a key role in inspiring growth in people, both as business-owners and admirers of quality, and I can’t wait for you to see what we have in store.

Let the adventure begin.

DUMONT & CO. Accounting & Finance

With the on-going changes and uncertainties in the world, the industry that has remained a reliable pillar during the bleakest of times has, undoubtedly, been the financial industry. For a lot of us, when we think of the financial industry, we immediately think of banks; however, when you really examine the financial industry today, it’s amazing to see how much the industry has evolved.

This evolution is where Dumont & Co and its highly trained team of professionals come in. With decades of first-hand experience in the financial services industry, CEO and Co-Founder, Pourang Taheri, clearly understood the importance of encompassing the wide-range of financial and personal success needs that individuals, businesses, and organizations were hungry for. In 2009, when the economy was slowly recovering from the infamous financial crisis, Pourang recognized a gap and seized the opportunity to create Dumont & Co, which is proudly based out of North Vancouver, BC. Since that time, Dumont & Co has become a goliath of an umbrella, offering large-scale accounting and financial services that companies require to thrive in their competitive marketplaces. When asked about the driving force behind Dumont & Co, Pourang advised that it was, and still is, to create a single entity focused on delivering thorough solutions to the complex challenges that their clients may potentially come across and to provide sound advice that will set their clients apart from the rest.

By offering financial planning services that include- but most certainly are not limited to- business valuations, tax planning, sales and acquisitions, and corporate finance, Dumont & Co provide strategies that set up their clients for the success they yearn for.

12

ALEPH MAGAZINE

“Our holistic, out-of-the-box financial approach is more than just accounting; together we create the path to get our clients soaring towards their unique end goals and beyond” While this could be boasted through the accolades and awards that Dumont & Co has received, Pourang humbly emphasizes that they define their own success by the outcomes of their clients and live by their philosophy: ‘we succeed when our clients succeed’. This happens by really understanding their clients needs so that the appropriate team members can tailor specialized strategies for each individual client’s success.

What is the key to ensuring this level of success for their clients? Pourang is adamant that the strong foundation of this company is the high-level of professionals that make up the team at Dumont & Co. Pourang’s extensive involvement in the financial and accounting industry has allowed him to establish strong alliances with other like-minded individuals, whose goals and objectives align with those of Dumont & Co. Through this, Dumont & Co has been able to bring on highly-knowledgeable specialized team members to grow the vast range of services offered by this company. With clients’ needs continuously changing, clients can return to a name they already trust and have the confidence that Dumont & Co has a fully capable team ready to grow their financial planning success. This formation of a community-like environment happens naturally and with ease at Dumont & Co and, although, this is to be expected when you look at a company with such stature, other companies can testify that it’s not always so easy to achieve as a company grows with size.

When individuals, businesses, and organizations are on the hunt for services that are modern and aligned with where the financial industry is headed, they will be relieved when they come across Dumont and Co, as Pourang Tahari has done a remarkable job at creating a company where one can come for personalized advice and a multitude of services offered like a well-oiled machine.

Architecture is a reflection of society. It’s a perfect marriage of creativity, pragmatism and influential vision. The romance of architecture lies in its ability to shape an environment and transform its given purpose according to surrounding needs.

Throughout history, it’s given birth to some of the most distinct and attractive designs that have both transformed cities and attracted tourists.

Each city prides itself on the unique architectural concepts that define its character. One of these cities is beautiful Vancouver, which treasures the names of many talented and influential architects. David Christopher is one of these shining names. His background in exterior and interior design gives him an essential foundation for groundbreaking design and build projects. His vision carries him through bold, forward-thinking concepts that combine everything from high ceilings, sharp angles and relevant colour combinations to bright, open windows and private backyards.

David, who originally studied interior design, was born and raised in Vancouver. His early days in the industry were set working in an architecture company, until later branching off and starting his own company FX40 Building Design Corporation. Throughout his prominent career status as one of West Vancouver’s design elite, glimpses of his genius are Photoshoot location: 4580 Marine Drive, West Vancouver Matt Gul: www.mattgul.com

evident in the one-of-a-kind, eminent designs that compose West Vancouver’s skyline.

One of David’s distinct characteristics is his ability to precisely shape his designs around what the client needs. His innate ability to create a cross-pollination of modernity and refinement while surpassing his clients’ expectations is unmatched. With designs rooted in his Italian heritage, his signature expression is represented by the quality with which he works. As of recently, the new project he and his son, Ben, ALEPH MAGAZINE

worked on was showcased in a New York exhibition: a cabana bed from the Serenity Collection by the name of Sovereign Lady. This is a poolside bed unit designed for luxury resorts that can be rotated by guests as the sun moves throughout the day. The structure also features a retractable fabric canopy and a misting system for extra hot afternoons.

This is a project for the future.

David says that on top of the Serenity Collection he is working on right now, the “4580� Marine Drive project in West Vancouver is among his favourites.

Christopher was inspired by airplane wings in designing this unique, modern home with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean which is listed for sale by Matt Gul in Vancouver.

From creating residential spaces that elevate everyday living to innovations built to transform the guest experience, David Christopher is an established name to look out for.

JEWELRY __ FABARGÉ

COLOURS OF LOVE About Fabergé Fabergé, the world’s most iconic artist jeweller, creates extraordinary jewellery, timepieces and objets d’art, as well as bespoke commissions for a discerning international clientele.

Founded in 1842, Fabergé has been the most revered name in jewellery ever since Peter Carl Fabergé became official goldsmith to the Russian Imperial Court; the house created exquisite jewels and objects, including the legendary series of lavish and ingenious Imperial Easter Eggs. Peter Carl Fabergé was renowned for his exquisite and artistic use of colour, making the most of each gemstone’s unique characteristics and developing a vibrant enamel palette. His worldwide reputation attracted royalty, nobility, tycoons, industrialists and the artistic intelligentsia of not only Paris, Moscow and London but also America and the Far East, becoming the ultimate gift purveyor.

In 1917, the Russian Revolution brought an abrupt end to the Romanov dynasty, and to the House of Fabergé. The company was nationalised, all production closed down and Peter Carl Fabergé and his family fled Russia.

Following its founder’s death in Switzerland, the Fabergé heirs lost the rights to the Fabergé name.

History came full circle in October 2007 when Fabergé, under new ownership and direction, announced the reunification of the Fabergé brand with the Fabergé family. This opened a new chapter in the intriguing story of Fabergé, and set the stage for a total revitalisation of the Fabergé name and philosophy, in tune with its original values, aesthetics and spirit. Today, Fabergé takes inspiration from its storied past to create eternally original pieces that, when worn, convey breath-taking individuality. By painting with the world’s finest coloured gemstones, Fabergé explores a life in colour through creations which are designed to become future heirlooms. Celebrating the concept of the artist-jeweller in today’s world of luxury, Fabergé traces the legacy of excellence in creativity, design and craftsmanship to introduce a new era of spectacular collections of jewellery, timepieces and objets d’art.

Current collections are available at the Fabergé By Appointment boutique in London, as well as at Harrods in London and other exclusive international retailers.

Selected items are also available via Fabergé’s online boutique at Faberge.com

I talk to people every day - many times a day - about a career in real estate. Besides the obvious questions about the pre licensing requirements, one of the next questions is about the prospects in the career. Most people consider the REALTOR or sales representative

OPEN THE DOOR TO A CAREER IN REAL ESTATE Written by Fred

route, however there are many jobs in the real estate industry. Each career has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages dependant in the suitability to you.

As a REALTOR you are in large part responsible for drumming up your own business. Working as a real estate sales agent can be fulfilling and financially rewarding, but most realtors are paid on a commission-only basis, so there is the potential of working without a pay check.

A mortgage broker acts as a “go between” between a lender and a borrower. Given the job’s key component of finding the best loan options for their clients, a heavy knowledge of lending institutions, lending rates, and terms is a must. Familiarity with creditworthiness criteria and credit reporting is important, as is a strong proficiency in math, verbal, and writing skills.

Rental property management is a wide ranging career. Licensed property managers work with landlords and tenants in the management of real estate. Tenant placement, rent collection and drafting lease agreements are just a few of the responsibilities.

Property managers may handle portfolios of single apartments to entire shopping centres.

Often overlooked is the career of a strata manager. Strata, which is very popular in BC. is the division of land and/or buildings into separate ownership with common property. Most strata corporations hire an external management company. The career outlook is great as more strata units are built every year.

Careers in real estate can be very financially and personally rewarding. It is important to be mindful of the fact that your role is to always do what is in the best interests of your clients, while being concerned with your own income last. In this way you will always be conducting yourself in a professional and ethical manner.

SUSTAINABLE CAVIAR PRODUCTION

Caviar, long considered to be a delicacy around the world; has been traditionally harvested from wild sturgeon caught mainly in the Caspian and Black Seas. It is processed by sieving their egg masses (separating the eggs from the ovaries), and adding salt as a preservative and flavor enhancer. Demand for caviar, and the prices it obtains, is high, but supplies may be running out.

The trouble is that caviar is typically produced from unripe, un-ovulated sturgeon eggs, which can only be harvested by sacrificing fish. Sturgeon are slow growing creatures that may take 20 years to reach sexual maturity (depending on species) and, even then,

do not spawn every year. In the absence of adequate management systems, particularly since the decline of the USSR, they have been harvested faster than they can reproduce, resulting in their near extinction. Twenty-seven species are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM and of these, 63% are listed as critically endangered.

SV BUSINESS GROUP SV Business Group is a team of creative-thinking and passionate professionals, united by an ambitious goal to promote and develop recreational boating in British Columbia through environmentally conscious innovations, research of new materials and technologies and development of marine infrastructure.

Based in West Vancouver, SV Business Group was originally founded as yachts sales and services venture with primary focus on environmentally friendly products and innovations. Shortly after its been established, the company became a proud dealer of Greenline Hybrid Yachts, the only serial production of hybrid yachts in the world. Propelled by diesel-electric motors and solar power, these yachts are a significant breakthrough in environmentally friendly boating. Later, SV Business Group became a dealer for Vicem Yachts, XO Boats, F-RIB and VBOAT and the first authorised warranty centre for Torqeedo electric motors in Western Canada.

Recognising that moorage space in the Lower Mainland is extremely limited SV Business Group positioned itself as an advocate for additional public moorage in our region and expanded its operations into development, construction and management of marine infrastructure. The company just recently completed the construction of West Vancouver Marina and is currently working on a number of foreshore projects.

When we design weddings, we focus on the design in a perspective that will allow the guests to have high-quality photo opportunities. The design process needs to start with the entrance. A beautiful statement floral design, welcoming photos, and great lighting all add to the first impression. From there, the dining space could be arranged with an assortment of round and long tables to create more dimension. By having a variety of table styles, including floral and candle arrangements, the guests will perceive the space as more thoughtfully arranged. Lastly, consider adding personalized want to photograph.

Architecture is a combination of passion and talent with a significant amount of social art and artful science. In the words of the well known Roman Architect Marcuz Vitruvius,

is firmness, commodity, and delight. �Architecture �

In Beautiful British Columbia architecture provides a logic of residence and sustenance for all types of human activity. Architecture supports all cultures to find a fit in society while endorsing luxury and comfort. The significance of design carries the ultimate harmony of enriching lives aesthetically and spiritually while supporting sustainability and economic values.

Design is the greatest quality of an architect. Design, is an implication of comfort, culture, and traditions. The profession of design is based on modification of human vision and composure. It requires the creative coordination of art and technology, and of light and shadow.

COVID-19 KICKS ON MORTGAGE APPROVAL

HOSSEIN MEHRIZY Mortgage Specialist

Banks look for current and future income status of borrowers in addition to the last two years due to COVID-19.

All forms of mortgage financing have become more challenging in the past few months.

(PURCHASE) Mortgage rates are decreasing dramatically in comparison with the same time last year which causes more purchase transactions in the past few weeks, while banks remain Loan-tovalue (LTV) less than before, this was a good sign for the real-estate market.

(REFINANCE) Banks are more conservative against borrowers who refinance their homes and are requesting extra money on top of their mortgage balance. When people refinance their mortgages without requesting extra money, lenders are more comfortable since this refinance is to help borrowers for a lower rate and of course lower monthly payments.

For others, who take equity from their homes, usually it is for one or more of the following reasons: • Consolidating high-interest credit cards

• Combining a first and second mortgage • Financing home renovation projects

THE MAIN REASON WHY GETTING A MORTGAGE IS TOUGHER FOR CANADIANS

UNPREDICTABLE APPLICANTS’INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT

The other day one major chartered bank announced:

Banks and other lenders are more concerned about income reliability due to lots of unemployment and CERB collecting by borrowers. They aren’t just worried about whether you have sufficient income today or last two years for business for self (BFS), they are more concerned about the safety of your employment and whether you will continue earning income in the months ahead.

“In view of the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the following changes are being made to lending policies affecting new applications submitted to us on or after Thursday, April 9, 2020. These changes are required due to declining employment, energy sector impacts, unstable property values, and restrictions on appraisers being able to access properties for appraisal reports.”

As a result of COVID-19, the main reason why getting a new mortgage or refinancing an old mortgage have become much tougher for Canadians is “Unpredictable Applicants’ Income and Employment”

MORTGAGE LENDERS NEED TO VERIFY INCOME UPFRONT If the borrower’s income and employment cannot qualify the mortgage amount no need for spending time on applications, specially for borrowers who want to refinance and got their mortgages before applying STRESS –TEST. According to a Bank, for any application using selfemployed (BFS) income, in addition to standard income

According to BBC news, Canada lost over a million jobs in March 2020 and could be expecting for more layoffs and job losses in the near future. The Conference Board of Canada said on April 6th that a combined 2.8 million jobs could be lost during March and April, equal to nearly 15% of total employment.

Lenders are going to be looking very carefully at all applicants’ employment income for now and future if the borrowers have to stay at home and live on only Government financial support.

Prime Minister Trudeau said recently [there will be] “No return to ‘normality’ until a coronavirus vaccine is available.” And that might not be till 2021!

What this means is that even if you had sufficient income to qualify for the desired mortgage amount two months ago, that might not be the case now, and as such, lenders have become more conservative and risk averse.
