Biography

Brad Rowland

Associate Portfolio Manager, Director


My interest in finance began during college when I opened my first trading account. From there, I studied everything I could about the stock market, investments, finance and economics.

I began my career at BMO in 2007, where I held various roles in customer service, trading and compliance. During this time, I gained a deep understanding of the markets, investing and derivatives. I moved to HollisWealth (Scotiabank) in 2016 as a branch manager and then went on to become the manager of the iA Wealth Advice Centre in 2019 and the Director in 2022.

I obtained my Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designation in 2016 and possess specialized knowledge of individual pension plans (IPPs) and options.

In my spare time, I volunteer as a member of the Conduct, Compliance & Legal Advisory Section (CCLS) Education Sub–Committee of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization and support my local Daily Bread Food Bank. My personal interests include backcountry hiking, camping and spending time with my canine sidekick.
