As a Portfolio Manager and Wealth Advisor with RBC Dominion Securities, Brett provides access to a comprehensive range of services to help you build and protect your wealth. He is a graduate of the University of Manitoba, where he obtained a Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) degree. Brett is a firm believer in ongoing education and has acquired the advanced industry designations of Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI), Chartered Investment Manager (CIM), and Personal Financial Planner (PFP).

Brett harnesses his expert knowledge and 20 years of experience to develop comprehensive wealth management solutions for his clients. His expertise and credentials help ensure sound advice, expert execution and peace of mind for clients who need solutions for broad and complex wealth management needs.

Before recommending any specific investments, Brett takes the time to understand your personal and financial goals, investment timeframe and comfort level with risk. From there, he can create a customized investment strategy, which includes guidelines on overall asset allocation among stocks, bonds and cash. As needs and goals evolve over time, Brett will revisit the strategy and portfolio to keep them aligned with your current needs and market conditions.

I believe that my team’s ability to help clients effectively manage their wealth is directly related to how they live, grow and work towards their dreams. The technical skills and talent that we bring to the table are important. But wealth management goes beyond that.

We start with listening, in order to properly understand our clients’ needs. We then work with them to tailor an effective strategy that balances capital preservation and income growth. But we also take into consideration intangibles, such as life experience, thinking outside the box, and taking environmental and social responsibility into account.

Once we’ve taken the time to get to know each other, then it’s time to drill down to develop, commit to and implement a strategy. At that point, things like economics forecasts, asset allocation ideas and tax efficient investing become more important. Growing, managing and transferring wealth to the next generation is a life-long project.

Let’s get started.

Ian Robertson

Ian is a Portfolio Manager, Director, and Vice President of Odlum Brown Limited, and a member of the firm’s Executive Committee. He has a strong interest in the impact of ESG issues on corporate strategy and valuation. He contributed to the review of CFA Institute’s ESG Disclosure Standards and the development of the new Climate Investing Certificate. He also holds CFA Institute’s Certificate in ESG Investing.

As a practitioner Ian integrates ESG considerations into his work with clients. In his 2024 Oxford PhD thesis he examined institutional proxy voting on ESG-oriented shareholder proposals to develop a ‘modern proxy theory’ to improve global ESG outcomes. Ian also combines his practical and academic experience in a UK-based social venture – OxProx – that aims to improve transparency and accountability of proxy voting globally.
Ian holds undergraduate degrees from UBC and graduate degrees from Dalhousie and Carleton universities, as well as a post-graduate diploma from the University of Oxford. He is a longstanding community volunteer and is a past board chair of the Responsible Investment Association, the UBC Foundation, the UBC Alumni Association, and CFA Society Vancouver.

Your values are deeply personal. Our approach is too.
We work with clients to consider the profound questions, ‘Will I be OK?’ and ‘How can I look after my family?’, and move beyond that to help them connect their money to what’s meaningful to them.

We help business owners and professionals align their finances with their values, by planning for financial independence, family and social legacies, responsible investing and philanthropy.
People like doing business with us because they are ready to combine meaning with their money.

We are licensed as an independent agent to provide our clients with tax-preferred insurance solutions, employee benefit plans, responsible investments and sustainable retirement income.

Rick Morson

Following an educational approach to managed money and focusing on how the different investment styles and disciplines complement each other to reduce risk, allows you to stay fully invested when you need to be.

Rick Morson has been an Investment Advisor on Vancouver Island for over 30 years. He has been proud to call the Comox Valley home for the past 22 years. Rick believes in contributing both personally and professionally to the remarkable Comox Valley.

As an Investment Advisor, Portfolio Manager Rick specializes in income oriented investments and has a diverse portfolio of private and public-sector clients. He takes an educational approach to advising his investors and clients. Over three decades of experience has taught Rick that the most successful investors are those who participate in the process and take advantage of learning opportunities.

As Rick designs a plan based on your values, he also applies those principles to your investments by offering responsible investment options. Responsible investment is the integration of environmental sustainability, social responsibility and corporate governance factors (ESG) into the selection and management of portfolios. It’s about managing risk to long-term shareholder and stakeholder value by analyzing ESG factors alongside of traditional financial ratios and research.

Rick believes responsible investments will allow his clients to leave a greater legacy for their children and grandchildren. It also provides him, in his role as your Investment Advisor, an opportunity to advise, educate, and leave the world a better place.

Russ Lazaruk

I believe that successful investing is more than just a numbers game. As a leader in both the non-profit and business sectors, I have learnt that building and growing a sustainable enterprise requires the integration of financial & economic considerations with environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.

My investment career began over 25 years ago after a diverse background of farming, forestry and soldiering. I have worked with boutique investment dealers, a major Canadian bank owned dealer and a Global Investment Bank. I am currently a Managing Director & Portfolio Manager of a multi-family office and Investment Counsel. Previously I have served as a branch manager and associate director responsible for teams of advisors which added to my broad career experience and skills. Nevertheless, the well-being of my clients is, and always will be, my primary focus.

All of my clients benefit from a systematic process that allows me to assess their needs and build a plan that will guide them to their goals. In doing this I take into account their personal values that may affect their investment choices. The investment process is no less rigorous and integrates financial analysis with ESG considerations.

I hold the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) and Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI) designations from the Canadian Securities Institute. I have also earned the Responsible Investment Specialist (RIS) and Responsible Investment Advisor Certification (RIAC) from the Responsible Investment Association and PRI Academy.

Work aside, my community volunteering keeps me active as chair/director (current & past) of a number of Greater Victoria organizations including Camosun College, Garth Homer Society, Duke of Edinburgh Awards Society, the Saltspring Island Advisory Planning Commission (Islands Trust), and Greater Victoria Public Library. I am also a Rotary Club member.

We believe investors should not have to sacrifice their core values to meet their financial goals, so we created the Blue Heron ESG Leader Portfolios to offer Responsible Investing to our clients.

The flexibility of the AMA discretionary managed portfolio system has allowed us to be innovative in our thinking and launch these portfolios that focus on sustainable investing. In a dynamic, interconnected world, there is no “simply getting rid of stocks, bonds or investment funds that are unethical or morally ambiguous,” We developed tough screening criteria – our Blue Heron Investment Principles – which constitute a methodology to remove subjectivity from our Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) screening and create a reasonable, objective, and repeatable means to identify better companies and build better portfolios.

Our financial planning approach starts by listening. We want to achieve a full understanding of where you are, and where you would like to go. We work with our clients to develop a meaningful plan for them. We listen, to identify key issues and help you to understand the options available. From this we guide you through the process to make better informed decisions.

We have the scale, flexibility and independence to tailor solutions just for you.

Pascale Imbeau

Chacun d’entre nous possède un ADN financier qui lui est propre. Il est fait de dizaines de molécules de vie qui gravitent dans notre quotidien et qui interagissent les unes avec les autres : notre famille, notre carrière, nos projets immédiats et nos rêves pour demain, notre retraite, notre entreprise, nos valeurs profondes.

Mon rôle – et mon savoir-faire –, c’est d’élaborer une stratégie financière fidèle à cet ADN. C’est d’épauler chacun de mes clients afin qu’il atteigne ses objectifs sans oublier sa qualité de vie et en respectant ses convictions. C’est de le soutenir pour qu’il puisse se projeter dans le futur avec une bonne dose de confiance et de fierté.

Lorsque j’ai choisi la finance comme carrière il y a une vingtaine d’années, je voulais offrir à mes clients des services de gestion d’actifs alliant connaissance pointue des marchés, intégration de certaines valeurs et accompagnement personnalisé. Aujourd’hui, c’est une équipe et des partenaires, tous ces gens de qui je m’entoure, qui cultivent cette vision à la fois rigoureuse et humaine de la « finance ».

Je suis l’alliée des familles, des professionnels et des chefs d’entreprise que je conseille. Spécialisée dans l’art de travailler ensemble et pour leur assurer un accompagnement de la plus haute qualité, je jumèle leurs autres professionnels de confiance et leurs proches à notre propre réseau de partenaires.

Dès le tournant du nouveau millénaire, j’ai intégré à ma pratique l’investissement responsable et durable. J’en ai développé une expertise, ceci tant par conviction personnelle que pour répondre aux attentes de ma clientèle. Membre de l’Association pour l’Investissement responsable depuis plus de 15 ans, aujourd’hui encore je continue d’affiner mes connaissances, de me documenter et de participer à des conférences spécialisées pour me tenir au courant des derniers développements et enrichir ma vision de l’investissement responsable.

Ce qui guide mes actions et m’anime au quotidien, c’est d’abord mon client. C’est de l’accompagner, de lui dire les vraies choses, en toute transparence. C’est de lui permettre de s’accomplir à la lumière de ses aspirations et de ses valeurs.
C’est aussi de savoir qu’ensemble nous faisons les bons choix, ceux qui respectent l’humain et son environnement dans tous les sens du terme. C’est de sentir que je peux faire une différence avec lui, et pour lui!

C’est là ma façon d’aborder la gestion de patrimoine.
