Director

Richardson Wealth

At Richardson I managed a $700+ million discretionary investment portfolio across all asset classes for 200 clients. 

I advised high net worth families on investment solutions, structure, family planning, tax and financial strategies. 

Over 200 detailed financial plans were presented and solutions recommended were carefully implemented along side careful partnership with clients' other key partners such as lawyers, accountants, and tax advisors. 

A great deal of focus was placed on the next generation and educating young people about how to be good stewards of wealth, and many family meetings were held and moderated to improve family succession goals.

Portfolio Manager

Raymond James Ltd.

At Raymond James, one of the top rated investment institutions in Canada and the US, our capital markets team was among the top in the industry, generating high quality research and analysis for our clients.
 
Clients included multi billion dollar institutional clients such as hedge funds, pension funds, and life co's. 

Our main responsibility was generating and communicating short and long term investment opportunities to the sales & trading desk, and clients, issuing buy, hold, and sell recommendations on covered companies. 

My specific focus was Industrial capital markets in Canada which provided a clear read through into global economics given Canada's resource rich land and very large corporations in the oil, gas, transportation and machinery sectors.

Griggs Capital Partners

We partner with families to help them achieve double digit growth through access to private, large scale commercial real estate.

At Griggs Capital Partners we offer more than just a transaction. It takes active management to create passive income and by finding, acquiring, improving, and operating our commercial real estate properties we can create significant investment advantages for our limited partners.

We identify cash flowing, stabilized assets with a strong tenant narrative and underwrite the offerings well below projected market trends. If a property meets our minimum return rate under this strict criteria, we know we have risk adjusted asset that will provide competitive cash flow, tax advantaged returns and significant appreciation of equity.

Our team believes in a true partnership approach. We parallel invest on every deal, provide preferred returns structures, and help educate our investors on wealth building strategies to unlock and grow their net worth.

We believe every family has the right to a secure financial future and deserves access to the investments that will get them there... We would love to help you on that journey.

If you are interested in learning more about Griggs Capital Partners and how to access investments your grandkids would be proud of, check our website or schedule an introductory call so that we can better understand what you are looking for and how we can help.

Sharing insights on how to grow your wealth and your mind | Private equity investor | Developer | Advisor

Hey, I’m Alex.

Every day I share insights from my life as an entrepreneur and father.  My hope is to document my learnings, help others, and continuing to gain perspective on how to get the most out of what lies ahead.

What started as journal for my kids has, through reflection, transformed into an online journey.  A challenge meant to force accountability and create a better product. 

I’m excited to see where it goes.

I am also the founder and Managing Partner of Griggs Capital Partners, an investment firm committed to helping families build their wealth and define a future they will be proud of.  

We focus on connecting real people with real assets, closing the unfortunate gap that exists in wealth building education, and providing access to the investments that result in real growth.

Through global development and execution of heavy industrial / commercial real estate projects, asset management and M&A I have found joy in creating, scaling and optimizing business in order to build value for the people and causes they touch.

In doing so I have found a few truths along the way.

• Accountability is a core principle of growing anything
• Transparency is the root of all generative relationships
• Inquiry before advocacy is the basis for a continuous improvement mindset
• Empirical creativity allows for a disciplined approach to achieving your vision
• How decisions are made is often more important than what decisions are made
• The ability to focus, simplify and chase what matters will define those who stand out in this generation

Looking forward to adding more
