My Team

Edward Hemphill, BBA, PFP

Senior Wealth Advisor & Associate Director, Wealth Management

Because I believe in the value of building and sustaining long-term relationships with clients, it’s important to me that we get to know each other. Since clients often have additional financial needs that will be met by other experts in my group, it’s important to provide information about them as well. On this page you’ll find more information on me and my professional background as well as profiles of other group experts.

I grew up on a family farm on Hemphill’s Corner in New Brunswick, where discussions at the dinner table about the investment world kick-started my education. I can still hear my grandmother reminding me as a young teenager about the need to purchase RRSPs. Contact Ed today
