Nicole Loveman

INVESTMENT ADVISOR

Nicole Loveman

Investment Advisor, Clients' Edge Wealth/Manulife Wealth Inc.

Nicole started her career in the investment industry in 1996 at Midland Walwyn. Continuing this path, two years later Nicole joined an Advisor organization where she worked as an assistant for the next 5 years. During this time, Nicole learned both the day‑to‑day operations and theory of the investment and insurance businesses, culminating in Nicole becoming mutual fund licensed in 2002.

In 2002 Nicole joined Barkeet and Associates, where she assumed the role of Mutual Fund Branch Manager. In 2004, Nicole obtained her branch manager's qualifications and became the Manager of Life Insurance and Mutual Fund Operations with Barkeet, working with approximately 150 active advisors.

In 2006, when B.Comm Financial (formerly Barkeet and Associates) was sold, the mutual fund branch moved to the ownership of John Gleeson. This allowed Nicole and the Advisors to continue their valued working relationships.

In 2014 Nicole and John were approached to become the succession plan for a few advisors in the branch. They took this opportunity to expand their operations and work with the advisors to transition their clients under their management. They have continued to purchase other advisors' books and have been working together to refine their business with a holistic plan to identify the actions that need to be achieved for all financial goals.

In her spare time, Nicole can be found spending time with her husband (Peter) and two girls (Paige and Payton).
