Ali Edgell

Senior Portfolio Manager, Senior Investment & Wealth Advisor

Ali recently celebrated her 30 year anniversary with BMO Nesbitt Burns. Ali is licensed as a Senior Portfolio Manager for clients who do not wish to be involved in the day-to-day investment decisions.  
 
Closer to home, Ali was a Rotarian including Past-President of the Victoria Club and a multiple Paul Harris award recipient. In her personal time, Ali and her husband, Paul, lead active lives with their three Labrador retrievers.  Ali competes in agility and, scent detection and, enjoys training non-competitively in rally and obedience.
 
Ali likes to think of herself as a retirement strategist.  Clients who are retired want to ensure financial security for themselves and their family whilst minimizing tax.  Clients who aren’t retired may be thinking about how much they need in order to achieve their goals for the future.  Whatever the retirement stage, Ali and her team have the ability to help make it a financial success.
 
Ali says, “We are absolutely committed to helping our clients achieve financial peace of mind.  We help our clients to envision the future and create a plan to realize their goals.  We have a disciplined investment process and, combine that with regular review for a fair and transparent fee.”
