Q1 | March 2018
We are delighted to welcome Alana Awad as the newest member of our investment team at Nexus. Alana joins us from RBC Capital Markets where she was an institutional fixed-income salesperson and carried the awesome responsibility for sales coverage of Nexus. She is a CPA, CA (PwC), a graduate of the Queen’s University Bachelor of Commerce program and holds the CFA designation.
Initially, Alana will work closely with Geoff Gouinlock in the fixed income area. Over time, she’ll gradually expand her contribution to include equity analysis and security selection as an integral part of our team-based portfolio management process.
In her spare time, Alana prefers to be active – enjoying rowing, hiking and travelling. In fact, in the time between leaving RBC and joining Nexus, Alana spent four weeks in Costa Rica attempting to master the art of surfing. Alas, there is no YouTube footage of her “hanging 10” for the rest of us to see! NW
