From an early age, Justin had questions about how money worked and wanted to find answers. He completed his first investment at the age of 13 by purchasing a GIC from his local bank, using the wages his father paid him to work on the family farm near Loreburn, SK.

Working on the family farm taught Justin the value of hard work and the importance of finding a balance between saving and having fun as a teenager because he would be responsible for managing those dollars for the whole year.

These lessons have carried into Justin’s practice today since he joined IG Wealth Management in September 2004. Clients of Forrest & Associates enjoy comprehensive financial planning with an eye on the future but not at the expense of living today. This balance allows clients to discover the joy of what their wealth can bring to their life today and reduce the stress of planning for tomorrow.

“I get the most joy out of those meetings because I see people feel relaxed and comfortable, knowing that they're going to be OK.”

When Justin is not working with clients, his favourite thing to do is spend time with his wife, Theresa, and their three children, Maximus, Capri, and Jack at their family cabin.

“I became an advisor because I was left with questions regarding retirement, and I felt like there were many other people that were in similar situations to me, including my parents.”
