Meet the team

As a natural connector, Elizabeth enjoys gaining a deep understanding of our clients’ personal and business needs, motivations and aspirations, then curating a team of the best advisors and specialists for their unique circumstances and making the appropriate introductions.

Elizabeth draws on her expert knowledge and 15 years of experience – including previous positions as the National Director of Business Acquisition and a Private Wealth Consultant at another leading Canadian wealth management firm – to develop highly personalized solutions for her clients. Elizabeth’s breadth of experience, expertise and credentials help ensure sound advice, expert execution and peace of mind for The Chieduch Group’s close-knit family of clients.

Elizabeth provides access to a highly integrated range of services to help you build and protect your wealth. A graduate of the University of King’s College in Halifax, Elizabeth obtained a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in International Development Studies and a minor in business. A steadfast believer in ongoing education, she has furthered her experience by completing the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) and Conduct and Practices Handbook Course (CPH). She is currently working towards becoming an associate portfolio manager.

Elizabeth is known for her passion for helping people succeed in the financial field – particularly women. She was recruited as a volunteer to build the B.J. (Beverley) Hughes Foundation for the Development of Entrepreneurial Women in Calgary. Along with Beverley, Elizabeth created and implemented their program to help women establish and build successful businesses. Elizabeth also has proudly spear headed and lead multiple initiatives to support women and wealth across Canada, and is proud to be meaningfully involved with several other notable charities within her community.

Elizabeth was born and raised in Toronto, where she continues to live in the same neighbourhood she did as child. Along with her two sons, Marshall and Holden, Elizabeth loves nothing more than to spend her free time at their family cottage in Muskoka in the summer months, golfing, swimming, playing tennis and boating, along with skiing in the winter months.

Ryan’s passion for markets and investing began as the culmination of his broader interests in economics, science, business, history, and geopolitics. As The Chieduch Group’s Lead Investment Strategist, Ryan believes that humility, transparency, objectivity, and a healthy dose of skepticism are essential qualities for portfolio managers to produce consistent outperformance over the long term. When communicating with clients, he aims to illuminate rather than obscure and to ensure clients are always provided with a clear understanding of the rationale that underpins their investment strategies.

Ryan took an unorthodox path to the investment world. He began his career as a high school teacher, covering all subjects in a one-room schoolhouse at a remote Hutterite colony in northern Saskatchewan. Although he greatly enjoyed teaching, his varied interests drew him to the business and investing world, where the intersection of myriad factors ensures that the only constant is change.

After completing his MBA at the University of Western Ontario, Ryan began his financial career on the fixed income desk, where he became a Portfolio Manager and most recently headed the Fixed Income Strategy team at RBC Dominion Securities – Portfolio Advisory Group. Alongside his training as an educator and MBA, Ryan is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Charterholder.

Ryan’s free time is mainly absorbed by the four young children of his growing family, but he has managed to maintain his love of football, baseball, history, and video games. He also reads as much non-fiction as he can when time permits. Ryan and his wife, Alex, look forward to travelling the world again once released from the yoke of diaper changes and sleepless nights.

While at Western University, Imraan studied medical sciences and physiology – his sights set on becoming a doctor. All that changed when his father connected him with a financial advisor to get a window into the industry. “That definitely changed my mind. I had always enjoyed finance and learning about the stock market, and I realized I wanted to spend my career in this field.”

It’s a career that taps into Imraan’s knack for numbers and his drive to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Working closely with Ryan, Imraan handles the behind-the-scenes of portfolio management and assists with trade execution, and other requests. His experience in customer service combined with his analytical mind and investment expertise makes him a valued support for many of our clients.

Imraan is a team player whose energy and enthusiasm are appreciated by colleagues and clients alike. Even while studying at the University of Western Ontario, he was deeply involved with student affairs, taking on several roles within the student council, overseeing orientation program events, and liaising with community partners.

During the summer, you can usually find Imraan out fishing or cycling on the weekends. In the winter, he hits the slopes at Blue Mountain when he can. Imraan also channels his love of cycling into charitable causes, such as the Ride to Conquer Cancer and the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Ride for Heart.

One of Aidan’s greatest assets is his ability to make you feel like a friend from the moment you meet him. It was this natural aptitude for connecting with others that led Aidan to the financial services industry. He spent nearly a decade building relationships and gaining valuable experience at some of the most respected investment firms in Toronto. Most recently, he was Director at a large private equity shop and, prior to that, a Vice President of a leading Canadian wealth management boutique.

In his current role, Aidan draws on his natural people skills to empathize and understand each client’s unique circumstances. He is also adept at problem solving, leveraging the expertise around him, and ultimately delivering the best outcome for his clients when they need it – or even sooner. Clients and colleagues alike appreciate Aidan’s outgoing, team-spirited nature, his organizational skills and passion for his work.

In addition to a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Organizational Studies from Western University, Aidan has earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.

Outside of work, Aidan enjoys spending time with his wife, Melissa, and his family. They often explore new restaurants, sample unique wines, and travel broadly. Aidan was once a competitive hockey player and now enjoys tennis, golf, and fitness classes. For the last several years, Aidan has volunteered as a grief counsellor for the Distress Centres of Greater Toronto where he supports those whose family members have been lost to mental illness. He is grateful to be able to participate in this essential work.
