Ian Candfield, B.Comm., FMA
Senior Wealth Advisor
Financial Security Advisor
I provide affluent clients with an investment experience that is highly structured and easily understood to ultimately help clients achieve their investment goals. My philosophy is conservative in nature.
I have 25 years of experience in which I have witnessed numerous investment cycles. I have coached clients through bull markets, recessions, market bubbles and meltdowns. This experience allows me to take a skillful and professional approach in any future market conditions.
I hold a Bachelors of Commerce degree from the University of Guelph and a Certificate in Accounting and Finance from McGill University. I also hold the Financial Management Advisor (FMA) designation. In addition, I specialize in the 50-Plus market and am currently seeking certification for the Elder Planning Counselor (EPC) designation.
I am committed to making a difference in my community. I support the Crusade Against Cancer - a West Island charitable organization. I have previously served on the board of Directors of Table de Quartier Sud de L'Ouest de L'Ile (TQSOI) and I am currently considering establishing a Montreal chapter for the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP).
