Evan Riddell was drawn to finance by a love of numbers, but it wasn’t long before he discovered how much he enjoys working with people, too. For him, wealth management is a perfect marriage of the two — an opportunity to use his analytical side and foster long-term relationships all at once as he helps his clients reach their financial goals and live their true passions.

Evan began his career as an economist, working with the government of British Columbia, and in 2008 he transitioned to a career in wealth management. As the founder of Riddell Wealth Management, he works closely with clients to craft a complete financial picture for them. As part of Richardson Wealth, Evan works alongside a group that is professional and driven to achieve excellence using the best industry tools to serve their clients.

Evan is a graduate of the University of Victoria with a B.Sc. in Economics (minor in Finance) and holds a Certified Financial Planner designation and is a Registered Retirement Consultant. He sits on the membership committee of the Financial Planning Association of Canada.

When he’s not working, he and his family enjoy being out in nature. He volunteers and supports various organizations that support nature and community, including the Nature Trail Society, The Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, The Mustard Seed, and others. He, his wife, and his two kids enjoy hiking, skiing together and exploring all that the West Coast has to offer.

Mona has worked with the Riddell Wealth Management team since 2020, providing administrative and operations support to the team and our clients. Mona brings extensive experience in various executive administrative roles and a love of people to her role. Her past experience includes working for major accounting firms and publicly-traded venture capital firms. She has completed the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) and loves taking on new challenges and expanding her knowledge in her quest to bring our clients top-notch service. Mona is bilingual and invites clients to reach out in either French or English.

When she’s not working, Mona spends time with her husband and two sons, enjoying the best of the west coast and boating, skiing, entertaining friends and cooking.

Tracey joined the Riddell Wealth Management team in 2022, bringing over a decade of experience to her role as a support administrator, where she helps keep our documents, presentations, and database organized so we can continue to offer our clients superior service.

Prior to joining our team, Tracey held administrative positions at the University of Victoria (Faculty of Business), the University of Ottawa Heart Health Institute and Compaq Computers. She was drawn to the Riddell Wealth Management team by our commitment to client goals and the analytical and investigative side of financial management.

Tracey loves to cook in her spare time, especially all types of Asian cuisine (from Thai curries to Japanese sobu to Vietnamese pho). She and her family also travel, having recently visited St. Lucia, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. When they’re at home, they explore Vancouver Island, often hiking, biking and paddleboarding.
