Our Team

Greg Ardagh, BA, CFP®

President

Greg Ardagh is the President and CEO of Ardagh Financial Inc. He has been in the financial services industry since 1997, and has worked at a major investment management firm before building his own team of advisors and his own industry standard.
As the leader of the Ardagh team, Greg instilled the business principle of absolute transparency in his firm. From his experience in both retail and wholesale sides of the Canadian financial services industry, Greg learned that the best way to create trust is to share knowledge. Therefore, he innovated his service by hosting educational forums so his clients can gain a crystal vision of their investments. To Greg, a clear fee structure, a thorough explanation of products and proactive communication with clients are what separate a great financial advisor from an average one.
Greg is a graduate of The University of Western Ontario, he holds the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation and is working towards his Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). He offers both Canadian investment funds as well as insurance products and continually completes educational courses through the Canadian Securities Institute.
