J Scott McDonald has been in the financial services industry for 40 years. For the last 30 years, he's been an Investment Advisor registered with CIRO, and a Discretionary Portfolio Manager since 2015. He has gained extensive knowledge of capital markets over that time and has seen many positive and negative periods. This gives him a unique perspective on building portfolios to take advantage of good times and limit downside in bad times.

Scott and his wife Sharon are extremely grateful for how their adopted home in Saskatoon has treated them and they return that good fortune by spending a good deal of time working with Saskatoon community organizations from Hospital Foundations to Husky Athletics.

After a difficult diagnosis for Sharon in 2022 they were Top Fundraising Participants in the Canadian Cancer Society Run for the Cure. The excellent treatment she received at every level of healthcare will ensure they continue raising money every year.

Scott acquired a passion for sailing when he lived in Halifax as a young man and has sailed regularly on the west coast for the last 25 years. Recently he began to expand his abilities and has acquired formal designations and licensing to allow him to charter and sail internationally.
