Evan Riddell CFP®, CIM®, RRC

Associate Portfolio Manager, Wealth Advisor, Investment Advisor

Evan works with successful Canadians approaching or already living in retirement, helping them navigate one of life’s most significant transitions: moving from building wealth to using it with purpose, clarity, and confidence.

His approach brings together retirement income planning, tax strategy, investment management, and estate planning into a single coordinated plan designed not just to preserve your wealth, but to help it support the life you want to live.

Over nearly two decades, Evan has helped individuals, families, professionals, and business owners make informed decisions, reduce unnecessary tax, and step into retirement with a plan they can rely on. He founded Riddell Wealth Management in 2008 after working as an economist for the Government of British Columbia, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of Victoria.

Outside the office, Evan spends time with his wife Sarah and their two children, hiking, skiing, and exploring Vancouver Island’s coast and mountains.
