About Nicola Wealth:
Nicola Wealth is a high-growth wealth and asset management firm. Since 2020, we have more than doubled our Assets Under Management to $15 Billion and our employee headcount to over 500 talented professionals in seven offices across Canada.
We aspire to be the best combination of advanced financial planning and asset management in Canada. While we are already the second largest (non-bank) private investment counsel firm in the country, we still account for under 1% of the high-net-worth marketplace and therefore believe we have a lot of room to continue our rapid growth trajectory.
