Michael Nixon, CFP®, CIM

 

Certified Financial Planner®

Investment Advisor

Mike brings over 25 years of investment experience working in the financial services industry.

As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and Canadian Investment Manager (CIM), Mike as been employed as a Financial Advisor to many Canadians. Prior to being an Investment Advisor, Mike spent over 15 years working in an executive role with multiple asset management firms.

Working in the “institutional world” and as a Financial Advisor was a great educational experience that I now apply towards helping Canadian families manage their wealth better. That is what I do, and I enjoy doing it!

Mike has an Economic degree from Western University and lives in London with his wife Jen and their three daughters.

Mike combines his own experience with his firm’s extensive resources to deliver significant value to the client’s he serves.

Working alongside some of Canada’s top Portfolio Managers for decade and a half has taught me a lot about investing. Understanding how to construct portfolios that accomplish an investor’s financial goals while staying within their tolerance for volatility is work I take seriously.
