Michelle Nickel, BA

Investment Philosophy:  I help clients achieve their short and long term investment goals through a customized, diversified portfolio, combined with well researched individual investment ideas.

Experience
My experience with investments dates back to 1998, when I became licensed to trade securities.  At the outset of my career, I worked primarily for a hedge fund run by my firm, and assisted large clients with trading, research and other administrative functions.  I went on to become an Investment Advisor at Canaccord Capital in 2001, where I became a member of the Chairman’s Circle in 2002 (which recognizes the top Investment Advisors at the firm).  I joined Jennings Capital in 2006.

Areas of Expertise
My clients range from young individuals with recently created RRSPs looking for steady long term returns; to very sophisticated institutional investors looking for individual investment ideas.  Each solution is customized for that client – from the detailed retirement planning analysis to the written investment thesis for a particular stock.

Personal
I enjoy jogging, playing hockey, and reading.  I live in the west end of Toronto with my husband and two young sons.
