Mabelle Tavares

Mabelle Tavares is essentially Van Der Hout Associates Wealth Management’s “chief operating officer”, leading strategic projects and financial planning processes. Her commitment to clients is the top priority – she liaises directly with clients, taking the time to understand their unique goals, needs, and appetite for risk to achieve their financial goals.

Mabelle’s uncompromising work ethic, attention to detail, and natural curiosity about the world around her is paramount to the team’s continued success. With over a decade of experience in the financial services realm specializing in tax-efficient investment strategies and holistic wealth advice, Mabelle met Dustin while working as an associate at one of Canada’s Big Six banks. Mabelle moved to a multinational financial services corporation to take a role as a private investments and institutional operations specialist. In 2017, seeing that the growth of Van Der Hout Associates Wealth Management was predicated on people like Mabelle, Dustin invited her to join his team. Mabelle agreed, heading up the team’s operations while growing her own base of high-net-worth clients and professionals.

Mabelle prides herself in honing her skills and industry knowledge. That includes staying informed about current affairs on a national and global scale. She devotes significant time to digesting news articles, analyzing economic indicators, and studying geopolitical events, ensuring she stays ahead of the curve and can provide her clients with well-rounded advice and smart investment decisions.

Outside of work, Mabelle enjoys travelling and immersing herself in different cultures and cuisines. Amidst her professional pursuits and globetrotting adventures, Mabelle’s greatest joy lies in her family and children. Time out of the office is dedicated to family activities, from outdoor adventures and social gatherings to board game nights, reinforcing the importance of shared experiences and building lasting memories.

She also understands the importance of physical and mental well-being in achieving success and advocates for a healthy, active lifestyle. Whether it’s hitting the gym, playing golf, or participating in community sporting events, Mabelle finds ways to stay fit and energized.
