About BlueSky
An independent, boutique portfolio management firm founded on the belief that high-net-worth families deserve institutional-calibre investment management with dedicated, personal attention.
Leadership
President & Principal Portfolio Manager, Founder
Jean-Pierre founded BlueSky Investment Counsel in 2016 with a clear conviction: high-net-worth individuals and families in Canada deserve access to the same calibre of portfolio management and financial planning available to institutional investors — delivered with personal attention and full fiduciary accountability.
With over 14 years of experience in investment management at leading Canadian financial institutions, Jean-Pierre specializes in serving senior executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, and nonprofit leaders. His approach combines rigorous macro-economic analysis with a disciplined value orientation — seeking companies with solid valuations and identifiable earnings catalysts.
Jean-Pierre holds a Bachelor of Finance from Bishop's University and the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) designation. He is a frequent speaker at prestigious industry conferences, including the Private Wealth Forum and the Structured Note Conference, where he presents on portfolio construction, advanced investment strategies, and wealth preservation for complex family situations.
Investment Philosophy
"We believe in wealth preservation and long-term growth — finding value at reasonable prices in companies with solid valuations and identifiable earnings catalysts."
Our investment approach is grounded in disciplined analysis, not market timing or product sales. We access the full North American fund universe and build institutional-level investment structures tailored to each client's risk tolerance, income requirements, and long-term objectives.
Our open architecture approach allows us to allocate across ETFs, individual equities, mutual funds, structured notes, and alternative investments — selecting from the entire universe to build a portfolio that genuinely serves your goals.
We take a holistic view of wealth, incorporating insurance, estate and trust planning, tax optimization, and portfolio management into a single coordinated strategy. Where specialized expertise is required, we maintain strategic relationships with leading estate lawyers, accountants, and insurance professionals.
What Defines Us
Our firm is built on a small number of non-negotiable principles that shape how we manage your wealth.
As a fully independent firm, every recommendation is made solely in your interest. Our open architecture means we select investments from the entire market based on merit alone.
As a licensed portfolio manager, we operate under a fiduciary standard — the highest duty of care in Canadian financial services. We are legally required to act in your best interest at all times.
You delegate the day-to-day investment decisions to us. This means faster execution, tax-loss harvesting when opportunities arise, and no approval bottlenecks — while you retain full visibility and control.
One clear management fee. No embedded commissions, no trailer fees, no hidden charges. You always know exactly what you're paying and what you're getting in return.
We leverage the same investment products, structured notes, and alternative strategies used by pension funds and endowments — brought to scale for individual high-net-worth portfolios.
We intentionally limit our client base to ensure every family receives the attention their wealth deserves. We grow with our clients, not by acquiring as many as possible.
