As an Investment Counsellor with RBC Phillips, Hager & North Investment Counsel, Matteo applies his diverse set of experiences in Portfolio Management, Investment Counseling and Financial Planning to assist each client relationship with their unique needs.
Matteo enjoys working with a select group of clients who value his personalized service and customized investment solutions. He employs an in-depth discovery process to elicit a comprehensive understanding of each individual’s financial circumstances and works in collaboration with in-house Financial Planning, Tax and Estate Planning specialists, along with clients’ existing Advisors, to develop sophisticated and creative solutions. Matteo is also supported by a team of key investment managers in strategic markets around the world.
Prior to this, Matteo held a Portfolio Manager role with a boutique Investment Management firm, where he managed over $300 million in discretionary client assets through an advisor referral platform.

Spencer is a Portfolio Manager at Odlum Brown Limited. He provides discretionary portfolio management services to affluent individuals, small business owners and professionals. Spencer has over a decade of experience in the financial services industry, and is a strong proponent of Odlum Brown’s value-based and contrarian investment style. He works with clients to build and manage portfolios, taking into account client-specific investment objectives and risk tolerance.
Spencer believes wealth is created by buying and holding securities of high-quality companies for the long term, and by protecting capital in volatile or falling markets. As buying a stock represents an ownership position in a business, he focuses on owning shares of high-quality companies with an emphasis towards strong management and balance sheets. Spencer pays particular attention to valuation, as stocks purchased at attractive prices provide a margin of safety and superior long-term return potential. He would rather own attractively valued businesses that might temporarily become less expensive, than risk overpaying for popular businesses that could permanently destroy capital in the long term.
Spencer is also a proponent of owning individual investment grade bonds and GICs to protect capital in client portfolios. He buys individual securities with laddering maturity dates rather than investing in bond mutual funds to ensure investor principal is returned at maturity.
He graduated from the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria where he studied corporate finance and personal taxation. He obtained the Registered Retirement Consultant designation from the Canadian Institute of Financial Planning in 2012, the Chartered Investment Manager designation from the Canadian Securities Institute in 2013 and the Portfolio Manager designation in 2016. In 2018, he obtained the Responsible Investment Advisor Certification designation, which is focused on the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in the selection and management of investments.
Derrick Ng is an Investment Advisor with The Keith Pavo Group of RBC Dominion Securities and has served his community of Saskatoon and the surrounding area since 2008. Derrick, along with Keith Pavo and The Keith Pavo Group provide comprehensive wealth management advice and solutions to Institutional and Individual clients.
As the investment landscape continues to evolve, the need to recognize Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues as a significant factor for consideration has become increasingly more important. A changing ESG landscape along with greater transparency and dissemination of information require, at a minimum, an understanding of how client portfolios may be impacted and the role of the investment professional to educate and address these issues ahead of time. After all, ESG issues will affect client portfolios regardless of what their position is on the matter.
Derrick was born and raised in Saskatoon, SK and is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan. Outside of work, Derrick enjoys traveling and staying active. He is an alumni of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies soccer team and continues to stay involved in the local soccer community. Derrick lives in Saskatoon, SK with his wife and two young sons.
