Meet Our Team

Raised in a financial family, Jamie Oyler had a golden opportunity to learn from his father, John, the founder of our team. Having been introduced to the investment industry early in life, the importance of building clients’ trust and working with integrity was instilled in him from the start.

After earning a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance at Dalhousie University, Jamie began his career as an Investment Advisor in 1987. He earned the Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI®) designation in 1990. Jamie then joined the Oyler Wealth Advisory Group in 1989 and became licenced as a Portfolio Manager, enabling him to perform discretionary investment services. The discretionary platform frees our clients from having to make daily investment decisions and empowers our team to act quickly and fairly when opportunities or risks arise.

In addition to advising his own roster of affluent clients, Jamie also leads our team’s big-picture, long-term vision and liaises with the BMO Private Wealth management team. Having completed corporate coaching programs, Jamie applies these valuable skills in shaping our team’s governance, direction and processes.

Jamie has volunteered extensively as a coach over the years, mostly with his children’s sports teams, and currently coaches co-ed badminton at Sommet High School. When he’s not in the office, Jamie spends his time travelling with his wife Christine, playing badminton, cooking, and trying to keep up with his three grown sons.

Rob Oyler joined Oyler MacDougall Wealth Advisors in 1996. Rob grew up hearing stories around the dinner table from his father and our founder, John, about clients whose patience and discipline paid off in strong financial outcomes. He repeats those same stories for our clients’ benefit today and applies his father’s principles in helping to run our practice.

Rob has received the Wealth Advisor (WA), Financial Management Advisor (FMA) and Personal Financial Planner (PFP®) designations and is also licensed to provide life insurance. He coached lacrosse, hockey, and football extensively for so many organizations while his kids were growing up that it felt like his second job for a long time. Rob enjoys being involved in supporting young people in sports and hopes to revisit that role down the road one day when he retires.

In 2017, Rob took up cycling with his wife Sue and this passion drives him to log hundreds of kilometers every year whenever the Nova Scotia climate allows, and Rob and Sue like to include cycling on many of their vacations. They have three grown kids that are their pride and joy – two live out west and one lives in Halifax. Rob and Sue love being involved in their lives as much as possible.

Justin Oyler graduated from Acadia University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance, during which time he served at Vice President of the Finance Society. At Acadia he really enjoyed the financial courses, which is no surprise: finance is in his DNA. Justin is a third-generation financial professional who is learning from his father, James, who in turn learned from his father and our founder, John Oyler.

After working as a Consultant with a wealth management firm in Dartmouth and a Financial Services Representative at a credit union in Halifax, Justin joined our team in 2022. He assists Jamie and his clients and also serves his own growing roster of clients, helping them to answer the ultimate question: “Will I outlive my money, or will my money outlive me?” Fluent in French and English, Justin loves helping people while also being involved in financial analysis. He has completed the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designation and the Advanced Investment Strategies course with the Canadian Securities Institute. Justin is also licenced to provide life insurance.

Outside of work Justin's favourite pastimes are cycling and hitting the beach. He is also an avid traveller who loves getting totally immersed in any country he visits.
