People, Planet, Profits.
That’s what Socially Responsible Investing means to me.
For over 20 years, I have been advising clients on how to integrate environmental sustainability, social responsibility and good corporate governance (ESG) issues into their investment decisions.
A trailblazer in Canadian SRI, I am excited to be helping build capacity and community in Impact Investing.
I offer:
• a principled approach to investing
• education about money and investments
• a holistic financial planning approach including tax and retirement planning
• communication based on your preferences as to the frequency and medium (face to face meetings, video, telephone, email, etc.).
If you are looking for an accessible, jargon free advisor who is passionate about building a better world, please contact me.

I am a Responsible Investing Specialist and Advisor at IG Wealth Management. We offer holistic financial planning and a full range of services including investing, insurance and loans. We specialize in serving professionals and family-owned businesses right across Ontario. IG Wealth Management actively supports responsible investing mandates in all of its investment mandates.
I believe that successful investing is more than just a numbers game.

My investment career began over 25 years ago after a diverse background of farming, forestry and soldiering. I have worked with boutique investment dealers, a major Canadian bank owned dealer and a Global Investment Bank. I am currently a Managing Director & Portfolio Manager of a multi-family office and Investment Counsel. Previously I have served as a branch manager and associate director responsible for teams of advisors which added to my broad career experience and skills. Nevertheless, the well-being of my clients is, and always will be, my primary focus.
All of my clients benefit from a systematic process that allows me to assess their needs and build a plan that will guide them to their goals. In doing this I take into account their personal values that may affect their investment choices. The investment process is no less rigorous and integrates financial analysis with ESG considerations.
I hold the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) and Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI) designations from the Canadian Securities Institute. I have also earned the Responsible Investment Specialist (RIS) and Responsible Investment Advisor Certification (RIAC) from the Responsible Investment Association and PRI Academy.
Work aside, my community volunteering keeps me active as chair/director (current & past) of a number of Greater Victoria organizations including Camosun College, Garth Homer Society, Duke of Edinburgh Awards Society, the Saltspring Island Advisory Planning Commission (Islands Trust), and Greater Victoria Public Library. I am also a Rotary Club member.

We believe investors should not have to sacrifice their core values to meet their financial goals, so we created the Blue Heron ESG Leader Portfolios to offer Responsible Investing to our clients.
The flexibility of the AMA discretionary managed portfolio system has allowed us to be innovative in our thinking and launch these portfolios that focus on sustainable investing. In a dynamic, interconnected world, there is no “simply getting rid of stocks, bonds or investment funds that are unethical or morally ambiguous,” We developed tough screening criteria – our Blue Heron Investment Principles – which constitute a methodology to remove subjectivity from our Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) screening and create a reasonable, objective, and repeatable means to identify better companies and build better portfolios.
Our financial planning approach starts by listening. We want to achieve a full understanding of where you are, and where you would like to go. We work with our clients to develop a meaningful plan for them. We listen, to identify key issues and help you to understand the options available. From this we guide you through the process to make better informed decisions.
We have the scale, flexibility and independence to tailor solutions just for you.
