Christopher J. Lauer

Christopher J. Lauer brings institutional investment experience to Lauer Brothers Private Wealth, with a background in trading, investment research, and fundamental security analysis.

He began his career in global markets at a leading Canadian financial institution, gaining experience across Institutional Equity Sales, Institutional Fixed Income Sales, and Cross-Asset Proprietary Trading. As part of the proprietary trading team, Christopher participated in deploying the firm’s balance sheet capital to generate investment returns across markets, developing a practical understanding of risk, liquidity, market structure, and the interaction between asset classes.

He subsequently moved into institutional equity research, where he covered companies within the power and utilities sector, contributed to fundamental investment analysis, and represented the firm’s investment views to institutional investors. This experience strengthened a bottom-up investment discipline grounded in understanding businesses, industry structure, valuation, and the underlying drivers of long-term returns.

Christopher brings this security-level perspective to portfolio construction, complementing a broader top-down investment framework with rigorous fundamental analysis. His approach focuses on understanding what sits beneath an allocation: the businesses, securities, and strategies ultimately responsible for generating investment outcomes.
