Vance Elder, BA (Econ), PFP

Senior Investment Advisor

Our practice encompasses a comprehensive Wealth Management approach. For 30 years, we have specialized in understanding our prominent families and their complex needs. My Team and I take away the stress and complexity of planning and allow our families to prioritize what truly matters to them – family, philanthropy, volunteerism, or travel.

 

We understand the complex needs of our entrepreneurs and C suite executives and their families, and our practice is fortunate to include many of Calgary’s top entrepreneurs, C suite and retired C suite executive families. Many of these relationships span almost the entire 30 years of my career.

 

A professed market nerd – I enjoy digging deep into the research and recommendations made to our clientele and having in depth regular discussions with our client families providing valuable feedback and data points for a better understanding of current economic and market conditions.

 

As a member of BMO Nesbitt Burns’ National Investment Advisory Council, my direct input is sought and provided regularly to the leadership of BMO Wealth, and I have been a consistent recipient of awards recognizing one of the top practices at BMO Nesbitt Burns, awarded to Advisors for the highest quality client service and business management.

 

As a volunteer member of various private Boards and committees, I have been and am passionate about giving back to the community that has provided incredible support to my business and clients over my career.

 

Outside of work you’ll find me pursuing my passion for travel, and staying fit and active with my family.
