I hold a bachelor’s degree in Economics from York University and have more than 25 years’ experience in the investment industry. Prior to embarking on my investment career, I spent several years travelling and working around the world — from the High Arctic to the South Pacific, and many places in between — which helped me to better understand people, their behavior and proclivities. I also worked for years as a semi-professional musician, playing the drums and piano, and continue to perform with a couple of bands today.

My interest in investing began in elementary school, after hearing the noted investor, businessman, politician and coroner, Dr. Morton Shulman, speak. His address sparked my life-long fascination with the markets. I started my investment career with Burns Fry/BMO Nesbitt Burns in 1993. In December 2005 I joined a smaller boutique firm that ultimately evolved into Macquarie Private Wealth, which was acquired by Richardson Wealth (formerly Richardson GMP) in 2013.

In my personal time, I still enjoy traveling and family time with my three grown daughters, who have all now moved on to lives of their own. I sit on the Board of the Elmvale Foundation, a federally registered charity that promotes environmental education, and actively support numerous other charities.

Khatrah Popal keeps Rasiuk Wealth Management running seamlessly, tackling administrative duties ranging from planning client events to coordinating meetings all with one common goal – to ensure the team can focus on clients. She’s worked alongside Gary Rasiuk since 2017.

After graduating from Durham College with a diploma in Business Administration, Khatrah saw the financial sector as a perfect fit for her skill set. She joined a major financial services firm as an assistant in 2012, working for a senior financial advisor before rising to the role of client service administrator responsible for reviewing consultants’ paperwork and creating client accounts.

Khatrah spends her time away from the practice with friends and family, which she values above all else. She’s fascinated by kickboxing, having picked up the hobby in her 20s, and still includes in her fitness regiment. She enjoys cooking, watching movies, and reading in her downtime.
