About Tom
I began my career in wealth management in 2004 and joined Canaccord Wealth through the acquisition of Punter Southall Wealth, where I was Chief Investment Officer. During my time there, we built an award-winning investment service with a strong track record of helping clients achieve their long-term financial goals.
Today, a significant part of my role involves working closely with our financial planners and professional connections to communicate our investment approach and provide insight on market developments. I regularly write and comment on topics including market outlooks, inflation and investment strategy, helping clients and advisers navigate an ever-changing investment landscape.
