The Financial Advisor Victoria Retirees Trust

Smart. Strategic. Tax-efficient.

Helping successful Canadians aged 50+ with $1M+ investable assets reduce taxes, invest wisely, and retire with confidence.

Financial Planning That Puts You First

At Riddell Wealth Management, we specialize in helping Canadians transition from wealth- building to retirement living.

Led by nationally recognized Victoria-based financial planner Evan Riddell, CFP®, our approach is grounded in over 16 years of experience delivering clear, actionable advice to clients who want more than just investment returns—they want lasting peace of mind.

We don’t chase headlines or push products. As an independent financial advisor, our advice is completely unbiased and client-focused—free from sales quotas, embedded commissions, or proprietary products. We’re here to guide you, not to sell to you.

  • Transparent, tax-focused strategies
  • A customized roadmap for your lifestyle and legacy
  • Personal service that evolves with your life
  • A philosophy rooted in evidence-based investing and planning
  • A focus on what we can control: costs, taxes, risk, and behaviour
