Meet Evan

by Tom Bradley

I'm pleased to introduce the newest member of our team, Evan Parubets. Evan is joining us in the role of Investor Specialist in our Toronto office where he’ll work closely with David Toyne in helping our clients build and manage their portfolios.

Evan has over 15 years of industry experience. He started his career at Scotiabank in 2000, where he worked as a personal banker and financial advisor. He then joined CDSPI (Canadian Dental Service Plans Inc.) in 2006, where he worked exclusively with dentists providing investment and financial planning advice over the past 10 years. Evan attended Fanshawe College and completed the Professional Financial Services program in 2000. He obtained his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation in 2003, achieved the Fellow of Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI) designation in 2008, and Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) designation in 2013.

Evan grew up in downtown Toronto, and by default, is an avid Leafs fan. Outside the office he enjoys traveling and cycling, and is a big foodie. He has a deep love for dogs (namely his 14-year old German Shepherd), his hometown and his wife, Tuli. And one other thing I’ve learned about Evan over the last few weeks ... he can’t get enough coffee!

Get to know Evan a little better:

Steak or sushi: Oh man … both! Most visited website (outside the office): The Globe and Mail (I’m a news junkie) Favourite movie on investing: Boiler Room Leafs or Jays: Leafs Best coffee spot in Toronto: There’s a great little spot in Kensington Market ... I just forget the name Netflix series you’re hooked on right now: I don’t have Netflix Guilty pleasure: McDonald’s Quarter Pounder Strategic Asset Mix (SAM): 100% stocks Investor you’d most like to meet (dead or alive): It’s cliché, but Warren Buffett Favourite Tragically Hip song: New Orleans is Sinking, followed closely by Bobcaygeon

Evan brings a great skill set and experience to the team. If you live in the Toronto area and are interested in a portfolio update or investment advice, I encourage you to get in touch with him (1-888-888-3147).
