An-Lap started his career at Bank of Montreal. Thereafter, he became one of the wealth associates with the firm Primetime Investments, which invested in futures contracts on the floor of the Montreal Stock Exchange, his main function being risk management. Almost 20 years ago, in 1998, he joined National Bank Financial (at the time Lévesque Beaubien Geoffrion). An-Lap’s investment philosophy is centered on risk management and the pursuit of asymmetric returns. Passionate and constantly aiming to push the boundaries of excellence, An-Lap has an entrepreneurial vision that enabled him to build and surround himself with an optimal, complementary team. He takes his inspiration from and surrounds himself with the best in each field, applying different learned concepts for the benefit of clients of the VP Group. In terms of personal values, he is very committed and considers it important to give back and contribute to society.  Effectively, he was awarded by the trade publication "Finance et Investissement" the title of the Most Committed Advisor.  He serves on the boards of directors of the Bruny Surin Foundation, the Quebec Society for Disabled Children, the Montreal Heart Institute Foundation (Investment Committee), and the Angel Circle of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. He had studied at Collège Stanislas before obtaining a Bachelor of Business Administration – Finance from the HEC in Montreal.

Ian started his career at National Bank in 1997 and joined National Bank Financial in 2001.  His high level of expertise in portfolio management and risk management, coupled with his financial markets knowledge, means that he excels at developing investment strategies adjusted to the needs of a broad range of clients.  What’s more, he has a knack for figuring out clients’ actual risk tolerance – truly an art.  This enables him to establish optimally tailored portfolios for our clients.  As someone you can trust, he is devoted to our clients and takes pride in the quality service that the VP Group provides.  His gift of simplifying concepts using plain language is unparalleled and allows clients to better understand the world of finances and thus participate in the development of an investment portfolio most suited to their situation.  On a personal note, being sensitive to the cause mainly for being a father of four, Ian is brave enough to abseil down 22 storeys each year for Drop Zone VP for the benefit of the Quebec Society for Disabled Children, on top of being part of the organizing committee.  Ian serves on the Board of Directors of the Bruny Surin Foundation in addition to contributing to several other charitable causes.  Of note is the honourable mention Ian earned in his completion of the Canadian Securities Course (CSC).
