Martin has over 20 years of financial and business experience and specializes in portfolio creation and planning strategies for affluent individuals, corporations and associations, including solutions for estate planning, tax planning and business succession planning.

In 1991, Martin acquired an MSc in Economic Geography at the University of Gdansk, Poland followed by an MBA specializing in Portfolio Management at the University of British Columbia in 1993. He has written numerous papers on market efficiency, statistical modeling and portfolio theory.

His investment philosophy combines thorough top down analysis of macroeconomic trends and fundamental bottom-up analysis of the underlying securities in selected sectors. By combining top-down and bottom-up research, Martin can quickly identify trends that would be invisible if only one approach were used.
