Practice: Alexandra Horwood & Partners
Firm: Richardson Wealth
Location: Toronto, ON
Making her fifth consecutive appearance among the Top 50 Advisors, Alexandra Horwood traces her passion for wealth management to her university days. “My experience tutoring statistics in university gave me a love of teaching,” she says. “My sales experience, passion for entrepreneurship, and my genuine interest in caring for and helping people are all a perfect complement to the wealth management business.”
As one of the younger advisors on this year’s list, Horwood says her generation’s affinity for technology helped her practice cope with the challenges of the pandemic. “Being a millennial, my team has always been tech-savvy and kept thorough electronic filing systems,” she says. “We have a great foundation and system to manage our work remotely. I spent the entire summer virtually meeting with and calling each of my valued clients on rotation to ensure they were all comfortable and that I was there for them.”
