WINNIPEG and TORONTO, December 1, 2020/CNW/ – Wellington-Altus Private Wealth (Wellington-Altus) is pleased to welcome Jordy Chilcott as Executive Vice-President, Wealth Strategy and Enablement in our Toronto office. For more than 30 years, Chilcott has been a leader in Canada’s wealth management industry and has held executive leadership positions across advisor management and asset management businesses.

In this role, Chilcott will be responsible for leading the firm’s wealth management teams, most notably: Regional Sales Management, Advanced Wealth Planning, Marketing, Platforms and future asset management initiatives.

Previously, Chilcott held a number of leadership roles including leading Scotiabank’s Global Asset Management business across Canada, Mexico and Asia, and President and CEO of Dynamic Funds. Additionally, he has held several senior positions at Standard Life Mutual Funds and Investors Group, having begun his career as a securities trader.

March Market Insights: There is no Bronze Medal

March 4, 2026

“There’s only two cultures that are going to win in the next year. It’s going to be us or China.” The subtext of Palantir CEO Alex Karp’s widely cited speech from late 2025 sounds like tech‑bro theatre until you reflect on it. In artificial intelligence, there is no bronze medal. There will be a hegemon and a runner‑up. Everyone else will be a client. Markets are not pricing that reality. Investors still treat the AI build-out as marginal cloud spend or another overhyped software cycle. They debate whether Big Tech is “exhausting its available capital” or whether capex “must mean revert,” as if infrastructure were optional and competition courteous. They are using valuation models from the wrong century for the wrong game. AI is not an app store. It is a weapon system—and the operating system of the next industrial era. The capital going into it is not a bubble. It is rearmament.

February Market Insights: Fortress America and the Colony Next Door

February 4, 2026

Historians are likely to regard Donald Trump’s presidency as a pivot—as significant as any in U.S. history comparable to the Jacksonian turn, the New Deal, or the Reagan Revolution. Yet Wall Street remains strangely somnolent, pricing in neither the durability nor the depth of what is unfolding. The Trump Doctrine should be seen as equal to—not subordinate to—the Monroe Doctrine, the 1823 U.S. policy that warned European powers against further colonization or interference in the Western Hemisphere. It represents a new organizing framework for U.S. power that blends hard power, economic nationalism, and pro-growth domestic policy.
