Russell Lazaruk

I have been helping individuals achieve their financial goals for almost twenty years. My career in the financial industry began in 1991. I joined ScotiaMcLeod in 1994 and worked for eight years as a Wealth Advisor and Branch Manager in Courtenay. In 2002, I moved my practice to Victoria, where I worked closely with the Private Client Group serving the bank’s most valued clients.

In July, 2009, I joined the predecessor firm to Macquarie Private Wealth to offer my clients a higher degree of customized wealth management and more sophisticated resources. As an Associate Portfolio Manager (APM), I retain one of the highest levels of registration in the investment services industry. Acquiring the designation of Associate Portfolio Manager required a high level of academic achievement and investment success. I also hold my Certified Investment Manager (CIM) and Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI) designations as well as a license to sell life insurance^†.

An active member in my community, I have had the privilege of serving on a wide variety of boards and commissions. In my leisure time, I enjoy sailing, playing rugby and spending time with my family.

^†Insurance products and services are offered by life insurance licensed Advisors through Macquarie Insurance Services Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Private Wealth Inc.
