My Background

Just naturally Wayne has a deep and abiding interest in financial matters. At a young age he became interested in the unique nature of compounding and what it can accomplish over time. This shaped his career direction. After spells in the military and working in industry as an engineer, he joined BMO Nesbitt Burns in 2001, and immediately founded the Sissons Wealth Advisory Group. As the team grew, Wayne took on additional responsibilities in management within the firm which gave him a strong background in many facets of the investment industry.

Today, Wayne focuses on his clients and being the team lead. He has been a discretionary portfolio manager for many years and has received awards for his work in financial planning. He works with clients from many areas worldwide, but shares most of his office time between Calgary and Red Deer. Because of Wayne’s engrossing interest in financial matters, his team has focused on a holistic approach to client needs since the beginning. SWAG today is forward-looking and is one of the leading advisory groups within BMO Nesbitt Burns.

Wayne is a husband and father of five adult children. When not working with clients and steering SWAG, he also helps his wife look after cows and hay fields using sustainable ranching methods. Growing up and being rooted on a family ranch in Alberta, which has been in his family for over 100 years, he believes in hard work and simple values of honesty and loyalty. Often the whole family comes together and joins in to host youth group events and retreats.
