About us

Our Team of Experts

Shannon Cowan leads a team of seasoned wealth management professionals, operating within CIBC Wood Gundy. As a result, we offer our clients a dual advantage:

  • An investment and wealth building experience based on direct contact with an empathetic, resourceful and motivated team.
  • Access to the wide and powerful range of specialized expertise available to us – and to you – through one of Canada’s leading wealth managers.

Being defensive in our holdings and disciplined in our approach is our core belief. We conservatively manage money for clients as if it were our own. The compounding of income over time achieves the greatest results. Through the use of dividend and distribution paying investments, our focus is holding companies that pay us a return on our money regardless of market conditions. While we generally advise high net worth clients, investable asset size is just one of the issues we consider before entering into a new relationship. A conversation will determine if we can build a client partnership offering long-term wealth building opportunity and the potential for significant asset growth.

We advise:

  • Business Owners
  • Pre-retirees
  • Individuals & Families
  • Professionals
  • Retirees
  • Executives
