Franco Saracino, CIM, MBA

Portfolio Manager & Investment Advisor

With over 25 years experience in the financial industry, I joined BMO Nesbitt Burns in January 2015 after working 13 years with a major global investment management institution. I am a portfolio manager and hold the distinctive Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designation. I also hold a Bachelor of Commerce (major in Finance) from Concordia University and an MBA from McGill University. I’ve been involved in our local schools where I was chairman of the Honoré Mercier School governing board from 2001 to 2016 and the vice-chairman of the Vincent Massey Collegiate governing board from 2010 to 2016. In my leisure time, I enjoy skiing with my three kids, playing hockey in a garage league that I founded more than 25 years ago and simply spending time with family and friends.
