The BlackRock Award for Portfolio/Discretionary Manager of the Year

“It is really a testament to the trust and confidence our clients place in us every day and the great team I have working with me” – Colin Ryan, Colin Ryan Wealth Management Group

COLIN RYAN chalked up his win as Portfolio/Discretionary Manager of the Year to the trust his clients put in him. “We are very fortunate to have that trust and confidence of our clients,” he said.

Ryan views his role as overseeing the day-to-day management of his clients’ portfolios so they can focus on other things. “We let them focus on what they do best – either be retired, have fun or focus on their business – while we focus on the rest of it for them,” he said.

Trevor Cummings, vice-president and ETF specialist at award sponsor BlackRock, noted that “having discretionary authority over client assets is a huge responsibility. With the volatility we have had over the past six months, it’s a great reminder of how much impact an investment professional can have on client outcomes, so we are proud to sponsor this award.”
