Mark Bourgeois
Mark launched his financial services career in London, Ontario in 1996 with a national life insurance company. In 1998, he joined one of Canada’s leading mutual fund companies, and spent the next 21 years, first in Toronto, followed by Montreal, and eventually Saskatchewan, in several roles. The first 7 years in Toronto Mark covered several operations and managerial positions. The next 15 years he spent working with financial advisors across Canada, learning about their business and assisting them in building investment portfolios and creating solutions for Clients. Starting in 2020, Mark joined a high-net worth advice team in Regina to help with the investment portion of their practice and joined Douglas and his team in 2024 as an investment focused associate advisor.
The world of investing can seem complex and intimidating to many. With his vast experience working through the ups and downs of the markets over the past 25 years, Mark seeks to leverage his knowledge and experience to help Clients navigate the investing landscape and assist in managing their emotions through market cycles. His primary focus lies in helping Clients reach their financial goals while growing and maintaining their wealth. As an added value to our francophone Clients and community, Mark is bi-lingual and can conduct appointments in both English and French.
Mark has lived in Regina since 2010 with his wife and two sons. Their family grew by one with the addition of a beloved standard poodle, and they particularly enjoy spending their time alpine skiing, whether that be in the lovely ski hills Saskatchewan has to offer or making a trip or two to the mountains every winter.
