Ian Lusher
CIM, CFP
Portfolio Manager, Partner
I am a portfolio manager and financial planner, specializing in serving individuals, families, holding companies, and foundations by creating customized investment portfolios.
Outside of work, I love being active. Whether it is the gym, golfing or cycling you’ll likely find me on the go. I am an avid and long-suffering Canucks fan, and I never miss an F1 race. My wife and I love to travel. I am also a fountain of useless knowledge which makes me useful for trivia night.

Chief Investment Officer
Co-founding Genus and creating one of Canada’s first fossil free funds has been a tremendously thrilling accomplishment.
My mantra is simple: focus on adding value for your clients, everything else will follow.
In my down-time I enjoy reading history and geopolitics, or spending time with my wife and two granddaughters.
