Investment Philosophy
Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. ~ Joel A. Barker
Why we are different
Our credentials
My extensive experience and education has enabled me to offer unparalleled financial expertise to my clients. Since starting in the industry in 2002, I have continued to upgrade my credentials and designations, which are some of the highest in the industry – including the “Chartered Investment Manager” (CIM®), the Canadian Securities Institute’s “Certificate in Advanced Investment Advice” and the “Alternative Strategies: Hedge Funds and Liquid Alternatives” (ASHL) course. I also have a Personal Financial Planner Designation (PFP®), and I am a Life and A&S License Holder.
In addition, I hold a Master in Economics, and an MBA at the University of Calgary (2002). Further to my experience in Capital Markets as a Portfolio Manager, I have worked as a Consultant in Risk Management, as an economist for Shell and in the Commercial Section for the Consulate of Argentina.

Through my education and international experience I have built a distinctive brokerage practice with a broad understanding and perspective of the global markets.

'It was around 2012 when Matias began managing my investments. He's extremely knowledgeable and professional, plus great at research and analysis. When I began working with him, I started out with small amounts and we have done well, so I've increased them over time What I also like about working with Matias is that he's very approachable.’ ~ Ron, client
