DIARY OF A PORTFOLIO MANAGER

SOME HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS

May 1, 2026

NEW MEMBER TO OUR TEAM

I am happy to introduce our newest Team Member, Byron Tessier.  Byron will work alongside Evan now that Kim Brown will be retiring in a few months.  More on Kim later.

Byron joins us from TD where he spent the last six years assisting clients with home financing and investing solutions in the retail branch.  Prior to this, he got his Bachelor of Arts degree from Trent University: Major in Business Administration, Minor in Economics.  Like myself, Byron enjoys cycling and traveling when not in the office. 

Byron can be reached at Kim’s old number 613-566-2032 so nothing new to remember and his email is byron.tessier@rbc.com 

I have secured some tickets to this upcoming event so let me know if you are interested.

The Canadian Federation of University Women do a great job with this event and here is the plan for 2026:

“A Journey Through the Classics.  More than just a self-guided tour of local homes and gardens, this year’s tour will provide an immersive experience aimed at guiding visitors on a journey that echoes some of the great literary classics, evoking feelings of wonder and innocence, and perhaps even resurrect memories of long-forgotten classic tales. 

If you are looking for a day of fun, a bit of fantasy, and a chance to view spectacular homes and gardens, this tour will appeal to you.

Your magical tour will be enhanced by local artists and musicians, carefully selected for their incredible talent”
