With nearly two decades of experience advising clients, a foundational academic background in business and finance, and global perspective gained through travel, Aaron is uniquely qualified to develop all-encompassing wealth management strategies.
Aaron had an early start to his career in financial services. At age 20, he began working as an accounting officer at a Canadian bank to fund evening classes in the commerce program at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. Aaron was first registered as an investment advisor in 2001 and initially specialized in commodity futures. He has advised high-net-worth individuals and mid-sized corporations in developing both speculative and risk management strategies for equity indices, interest rates, currencies, and physical commodities in metals, energy and agriculture.
Aaron has been fortunate to travel the world, and is a firm believer that travel is a valuable opportunity to develop global perspective and cultural awareness. He has a particular interest in understanding the tremendous economic growth across Asia, and has explored numerous major economic city centres including Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Jakarta. Aaron has also motorcycled the length of Vietnam and across North Sumatra Indonesia, and he has trekked in rural Ethiopia and Sri Lanka gaining exposure to grassroots growth in developing and emerging economies.
Aaron is a Chartered Financial Analyst and graduated with distinction from the MBA program at Ivey Business School at Western University. Aaron serves as a Board Member of GREO (Gambling Research Exchange Ontario), an organization that supports evidence-informed decision making in responsible gambling policies, standards and practices to reduce the harms of problematic gambling. Outside of his career Aaron relaxes by focusing on heirloom vegetable gardening and learning to sail and improve the rigging of his small trimaran sailboat. Most importantly, Aaron spends time with his partner Julia and their young daughter Anastasia.
