About

Ginsler Wealth was founded by Brian Ginsler, long-time veteran of the Canadian wealth management industry, and is supported by an accomplished Advisory Board with expertise geared to helping our clients. We were born of a simple idea: to give high-net-worth individuals unlimited access to investment options, financial planning and expert counsel—so they can live the lives they’ve always wanted.

Our story begins 35 years ago in Northern Canada.

This is our founder paddling his canoe in Algonquin Park. To most who have ever been in a canoe, this approach may look unorthodox at best. But those in the know understand that this technique is the only way to both control and understand the vessel, to push it to its full potential and to truly enjoy the independence of gliding through uncharted waters. Anyone can get in a canoe, but it takes years of study, dedication, experimentation, and passion to become a master canoeist. Managing your wealth is a lot like paddling a canoe. It seems pretty easy when the water is smooth as glass—but, unless you have serious experience—everything changes when the wind starts to blow.

It’s not just about staying afloat; it’s about commanding the seas.

Ginsler Wealth applies the same study, dedication and passion to managing wealth as our founder applied to the pursuit of canoeing mastery. Our experience is counted in decades and our dedication is fueled by a sincere passion for helping families. Our independence ensures we solely serve our clients and enables us to be unconstrained in our ability to search the world for the most appropriate solutions. Ginsler Wealth delivers more than just navigational assistance, we provide the tools to weather the storms that will come your way.
