Derek brings over 16 years of investment industry experience and is passionate about providing his clients with sound, objective advice and expertise - and helping them achieve their personal financial goals. As a second-generation Investment Advisor, he has always naturally been interested in investing, even from an early age.
Prior to joining RBC Dominion Securities, he served as Vice-President of Sales at one of Canada’s largest and most recognized asset management firms, with a robust and diversified range of investments, spanning across every major sector and geographic region, and totaling over $151 billion in AUM on behalf of retail, institutional and private client investors.
He brings this highly disciplined background to his investment decisions, and leverages his experience and knowledge to help his clients succeed.
His technical experience is further exemplified by his Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) designation, providing clients with the confidence and security of knowing their assets are managed with the highest degree of care, ethics and professionalism. In addition, he is also licensed to trade options.
A native of North Vancouver, Derek enjoys spending his time outside the office with his family and friends. He is an avid golfer and is a member at Seymour Golf & Country Club. When he’s not golfing, he can be found staying active and enjoying all that the North Shore has to offer; from hiking the local mountains and running trails to paddle-boarding in Deep Cove. He strongly believes in giving back and finds volunteering in the local community to be incredibly rewarding.
