Jordan Turcotte, B.Comm., CIM®
Throughout his career, Jordan has built a reputation for providing attentive, client-focused investment advice. He is known for maintaining strong, ongoing relationships with clients who value the frequent communication, excellent service, and thoughtful guidance he provides. Jordan believes that truly understanding his clients and their families is essential not only for delivering effective advice, but also for establishing the trust necessary for clients to feel confident in their financial decisions.
Jordan joined CIBC Wood Gundy five years ago when he became the successor to a distinguished advisor with over 35 years of experience. Many of the individuals he serves today have worked with only two advisors throughout their lives, and Jordan is proud to continue this legacy of trusted service. As he welcomes new clients from diverse backgrounds, he is mindful that not everyone has had positive experiences with investment professionals in the past. Jordan is committed to rebuilding trust and delivering the high standard of care that every client deserves.
Prior to joining CIBC Wood Gundy, Jordan spent nearly five years with another leading financial institution in the province where he advised clients in a similar capacity. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree and has earned the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designation. Jordan is currently pursuing the Portfolio Manager title to further enhance his ability to serve clients with advanced investment strategies.
