At Grey Wealth Partners, taking care of your wealth is our life’s work. We rely on our vast and varied experience to deliver a truly flexible and completely exceptional client experience.
Senior Portfolio Manager & Wealth Advisor
“Being a family business within Canada’s largest bank gives us an incredibly unique perspective,” says Chris. Chris’s father, Jim Grey, had been in the industry for over 20 years when he encouraged Chris to join his team and, fittingly, focus on business succession planning. Today, Chris proudly maintains his father’s legacy as Senior Portfolio Manager & Wealth Advisor and one of our team’s lead advisors.
With over a decade of commercial and retail banking experience, Chris joined RBC Dominion Securities in 2001. Building on his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Business Administration degrees from the University of Alberta, Chris became a Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) and a Financial Management Advisor (FMA).
Chris works with Bruce and the rest of our team to help our clients achieve their financial goals. He leads our Private Investment Management (PIM) offering, which allows him to create a truly customizable portfolio experience for our clients. Despite changes in the industry, Chris’s number one priority is safeguarding his clients’ wealth – and it’s a responsibility he takes very seriously. “We’re managing more than just wealth. We’re managing families’ structures and helping them succeed,” he says.
Chris, his wife, Lesley, and their two daughters live in Edmonton. He enjoys travelling with his family and considers himself a huge history buff – historical cities like Rome and London are at the top of his travel list.

For Bruce, exceptional client service can be distilled into two things: listening and providing solutions. “To give our clients the best advice, we need to really know them,” he says. “It’s important to recognize that wealth is about real human experiences.” That’s why consistent communication with clients – understanding their family, ambitions, and values – is a key pillar of Bruce’s approach.
Growing up, Bruce wanted to be a dentist and completed his Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Alberta. In 1996, he joined the financial industry as a summer student, working his way up to branch manager and eventually Investment and Wealth Advisor. Along the way, he was able to learn from Jim Grey, whom he considers “one of the best in the business.”
Today, Bruce is proud to co-lead our practice with Jim’s son, Chris. Their complementary skill sets and dynamic mind sets make them the perfect match. “We’re very different as individuals. He’s city, I’m country. He’s analytical, I’m a planner. But, that’s part of what makes this partnership work so well,” Bruce says.
Bruce and his wife, Oksana, live in Edmonton with their daughter and son. As someone who values spending time with his family, Bruce enjoys supporting his children’s extracurricular activities – dance and football – as well as watching sporting events.
“I love building relationships with my clients,” says Lyndell. “Over the last 20 years, I’ve seen how our clients’ needs have evolved – and how our services and solutions have evolved alongside them.” Having worked her way up from summer student to Senior Portfolio Manager and Wealth Advisor, Lyndell remains passionate about providing hands-on wealth management for clients.
Prior to joining RBC Dominion Securities in 2017 – to work with brother Chris – Lyndell gained over 15 years of extensive experience in the industry and worked as a Financial Planner. In addition to her Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm.) degree from the University of Alberta, Lyndell has earned her Professional Financial Planning (PFP) and Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) designations.
Always looking for ways to expand her knowledge and, in turn, improve our service to clients, Lyndell supports our Private Investment Management service, which is governed by strict standards for education, experience, and assets under administration.
Lyndell is a proud parent to her young son. In her free time, she enjoys travelling (Australia being among one of her top destinations), scuba diving, and exploring the great outdoors.
Investment & Wealth Advisor
“I have always been one to value the big picture,” says Karan, “focusing on ways to advance my clients’ progress toward their goals.” For the past 16 years, Karan has been committed to doing just that—providing his clients with highly informed and strategically formulated financial advice. In designing individual wealth plans, Karan gets to know his clients deeply so he can incorporate the relevant wealth management building blocks on their behalf. A knack for numbers and passion for investing led Karan to pursue a career in financial services. He now works with successful business owners, established families, and incorporated professionals to help each client navigate the ever-changing financial landscape. His client-focused approach utilizes tax minimization strategies to increase the after-tax benefit to his clients. Karan holds a Master of Business Administration, Finance/Marketing, from the Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management. He has also earned the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designations. Giving back to the community is a priority for Karan. He has supported many local charitable causes over the years, and is currently a member of the Future Finance Professionals Committee of the CFA Society Edmonton and Edmonton Region Immigrant Employment Counsel (ERIEC).

“I’ve worked for other financial firms, but what drew me back to RBC Dominion Securities was the family aspect of Grey Wealth Partners – it’s so much more than working with regular colleagues,” says Laurel. “I’ve had the privilege of seeing everyone’s stories unfold since I started working here with Chris and Lyndell’s father, Jim, as lead advisor.”
