Franco Saracino, CIM®, MBA

Senior Investment Advisor & Portfolio Manager

With over 25 years of experience in the financial industry, I joined BMO Nesbitt Burns in January 2015, following 13 years with a major global investment management institution. My professional journey has given me the opportunity to serve as a portfolio manager, and I am proud to hold the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designation. My academic credentials include a Bachelor of Commerce with a major in Finance from Concordia University, as well as an MBA from McGill University. Beyond my career in finance, I have been actively involved in our local schools. I had the privilege of serving as chairman of the Honoré Mercier School governing board from 2001 to 2016, and as vice-chairman of the Vincent Massey Collegiate governing board from 2010 to 2016. In my leisure time, I love spending time skiing with my three kids, playing hockey in a garage league I founded over 25 years ago, and simply enjoying moments with family and friends. These activities keep me grounded and bring joy to my life.
