Charles Coulson heads the Ansky-Coulson Private Wealth Management team, with Stuart Ansky, at CIBC Wood Gundy.

Early in his career, Charles realized something important. In the evolving world of finance, it was nearly impossible, alone, to provide the expertise clients need. In his first year as an advisor, he formed a team with another rookie advisor, Stuart Ansky. Together, they have built one of the leading wealth management practices in the country.

Their team of four associates is equally committed to their vision: to help clients build transgenerational wealth by leveraging a specific fee-based investment advisory service, and a multi-step financial planning process.

Charles believes that wealth management is more than just investing. In everything he does, he upholds the highest standards that have made his name synonymous with trust and business excellence.

He graduated from McGill University in 1995, where he majored in Economics. Charles began his career in finance shortly after, and has been an investment advisor the last 24 years. He received his Chartered Financial Analyst certification in 2005.

Charles has been involved in numerous charitable endeavours and community projects over the years. More recently, he has devoted his resources to working with the Jewish General Hospital Foundation in Montreal.

In his spare time, Charles and his wife share a passion for the outdoors with their dogs, some golf, and a lot of gardening.

Stuart Ansky heads the Ansky-Coulson Private Wealth Management team, with Charles Coulson, at CIBC Wood Gundy.

Stuart attended McGill University from 1996 to 1998, where he graduated with a degree in Political Science. Within weeks of graduation, he was hired by one of Canada’s top financial institutions to begin his career as a financial advisor.

After practicing independently for a few months, Stuart teamed up with his current partner. He and Charles shared a common vision of what a proper financial advice business had to be: a group of experts and specialists all working together to help clients achieve their goals and objectives. Although this is commonplace today, it was a pioneering approach 25 years ago.

In everything Stuart does, he upholds the highest standards of excellence that have made his name synonymous with trust and business excellence. Stuart believes that wealth management is more than just investing. He looks to guide his clients through every goal, challenge and objective they face.

When not at the office, Stuart is an active participant within his community. He supports numerous causes that are very dear to him, with a more recent focus on the Montreal Torah Centre, Canadian Hadassah Wizo, and his children’s colleges.

Stuart is also a fitness enthusiast. The same rigour and discipline that he applies to his business, he applies to himself.

Above all else, Stuart is a proud and loving father. Spending quality time with his family is what he enjoys the most.
