What defines a successful investment career beyond performance?
Host Anton Almazov speaks with Brian Madden, Chief Investment Officer at First Avenue Investment Counsel and a member of CFA Society Toronto’s Board of Directors, about the experiences that have shaped his nearly 30-year career.
Brian reflects on entering the investment industry, navigating the 2008 financial crisis and learning to remain composed during periods of extreme market uncertainty. He also discusses how his investment approach evolved from a strictly quantitative process to a multidisciplinary one that incorporates fundamental, technical and macroeconomic analysis.
Beyond the markets, Brian shares why volunteering can serve as a “parallel career,” helping professionals strengthen their leadership skills, expand their perspectives and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
From resilience and idea agnosticism to mentorship, integrity and legacy, this episode offers practical insight for both emerging and established finance professionals.
