Grow with Guardian
For more than 30 years, Guardian Capital Advisors (GCA) has helped high-net-worth clients, families, and institutions manage their wealth with confidence. Our approach is grounded in trust, discipline, and a long-term perspective.
We’re growing and so can you
Bring your book. Grow your business. Deliver an exceptional client experience.
We are seeking an established Client Portfolio Manager with an existing book of business and a proven track record of serving high-net-worth individuals, families, and foundations to join our team in Toronto, Calgary, or Vancouver.
This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, client-focused team where you’ll have the resources, support, and expertise to deepen existing relationships, attract new clients, and deliver sophisticated wealth management solutions.
What Drives Us
At GCA, our clients are at the centre of everything we do – how we support our team informs our values and creates a framework for success.
Strength and stability
When you work for GCA, you are joining a company backed by strength and long-term stability.
GCA is a subsidiary of Guardian Capital Group (founded in 1962), which in 2026 became a wholly owned subsidiary of Desjardins Global Asset Management, a division of the Desjardins Group (125 years of experience), the largest financial cooperative in North America. The new partnership has assets under management and advisement of C$288 billion (as of March 31, 2026) and is amongst the largest asset managers in Canada.
Independence
We empower entrepreneurial thinking.
Each portfolio manager operates with the autonomy to run their business with conviction, aligned with a shared framework that ensures transparency, consistency, and a unified brand experience.
Strategy-driven Thinking
We act with intention.
Thoughtful, disciplined, and customized strategies developed with our clients’ best interests in mind allow us to adapt, innovate, and deliver meaningful outcomes across every market cycle.
Leadership Matters
“Having spent my career building and leading investment businesses, I’ve seen firsthand what differentiates firms that succeed over the long term. At Guardian Capital Advisors, that difference lies in our ability to combine institutional discipline with a deeply client-centric approach.
GCA offers a platform purpose-built for experienced portfolio managers—one that values independent thinking, long-term perspective, and accountability. Here, investment expertise is supported by a collaborative culture and a strong foundation in risk management and governance.
What makes this environment particularly compelling is the alignment across the organization. There is a shared focus on delivering consistent outcomes for clients while continuing to evolve and grow the business thoughtfully.
For senior professionals seeking both autonomy and support, Guardian Capital Advisors provides a differentiated opportunity to contribute meaningfully within a firm that is focused on long-term success, for clients, for partners, and for our people.”
