Responsibility. Sustainability. Good governance. These are not just words but the backbone of my practice. With 35 years of experience, I have been building portfolios that have focused on responsible investing practices for most of my career.
John Stewart
My career began over 30 years ago on the bond desk of a major dealer, and over time, I eventually made my way to pension services at another firm. Almost 20 years ago, I joined TD Asset Management and eventually led a team of Investment Specialists. In 2003 and 2004, TD gave me leave to serve with the Canadian Army in Afghanistan (I was a Major in the active Army Reserve, and finished with 42 years of service in Canada and many parts of the world). After service in Afghanistan, I came back to TD and made my way back to the role of Investment Advisor, which I thoroughly enjoy!
In addition to my various financial designations, I hold a degree in Latin American Studies with a concentration in Developmental Economics (B.A.) from University of Toronto, and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Commercial Law – litigation, which I earned in England. I have also graduated from U of T with programmes in Business, Human Resources Management, and Alternate Dispute Resolution, and from the United Nations OCHA programme conducted in Buenos Aires by the UN. My ongoing involvement in the University of Toronto has included serving on Governing Council, where I was the Vice-Chair of the University Affairs Board, and Chaired the Boundless Campaign for Woodsworth College. I also served for many years in the role of Board Member and Treasurer for Academics Without Borders, St. John Ambulance Council For Ontario and have been involved in the governance of many other organizations.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupery
As a Wealth Advisor, my role is to help my clients plan for and protect their financial future, while achieving peace of mind in the present. I help my clients define their goals and then structure a plan that will act as a road map to achieve those goals. I truly believe in building trust and long-lasting relationships with clients. My goal is to help them understand and navigate the financial world.
For me, financial planning is more than just a career; it’s a passion. I am committed to ongoing education in my chosen field to ensure I am always up-to-date on all the complex issues that take place in this exciting and dynamic industry.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss your financial goals and establish a strategy for your investment, tax and retirement planning.
Mutual funds and related financial planning services are offered through Credential Asset Management Inc.
Susan Evel
My name is Sue Evel and I own Edgewater Financial Products. I have been in the insurance and investment industry since graduating from university in 1990. The experience I have allows me to offer my personal and business clients solutions that are custom fit to their particular situation. Everyone’s moral compass, risk tolerance, passions, hopes, fears and socioeconomic position are different and each needs to be considered when setting a plan of action into motion. I prefer to take a holistic approach, creating a comprehensive financial plan that considers all facets of the financial planning process.
Valuing education, I have obtained the designations of Certified Financial Planner CFP®, Chartered Life Underwriter CLU and most recently, Responsible Investment Specialist RIS.
I am licensed as a life and health insurance agent in Ontario and Alberta.
I offer a boutique, personal service where I can dedicate my time to each of my clients and refer as needed to professionals I network with, who are established experts in their fields (lawyers/accountants).
The environment is a concern for me along with social and corporate governance issues. I am excited to offer my clients the opportunity to invest in socially responsible funds where they can feel good about the companies they are investing in without sacrificing potential growth.
I believe in giving back and enjoy volunteering at numerous community events. I work hard to find a balance in my life and enjoy working, spending time with friends and family, reading, yoga and running.
Derrick Ng
Derrick Ng is an Investment Advisor with The Keith Pavo Group of RBC Dominion Securities and has served his community of Saskatoon and the surrounding area since 2008. Derrick, along with Keith Pavo and The Keith Pavo Group provide comprehensive wealth management advice and solutions to Institutional and Individual clients.
As the investment landscape continues to evolve, the need to recognize Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues as a significant factor for consideration has become increasingly more important. A changing ESG landscape along with greater transparency and dissemination of information require, at a minimum, an understanding of how client portfolios may be impacted and the role of the investment professional to educate and address these issues ahead of time. After all, ESG issues will affect client portfolios regardless of what their position is on the matter.
Derrick was born and raised in Saskatoon, SK and is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan. Outside of work, Derrick enjoys traveling and staying active. He is an alumni of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies soccer team and continues to stay involved in the local soccer community. Derrick lives in Saskatoon, SK with his wife and two young sons.
