"West Oak’s success has come from always putting our clients’ best interests first and always finding ways to improve and add more value to them"

Having worked with advisors for almost 20 years, Eric VanViegen has great insight and loves to be a sounding board for new ideas. Looking back, he finds that it was nerve-racking to start his career at an energy-based investment company where he watched the price of oil drop to $10 a barrel in 1998. He remembers an investor calling in to ask, “If your cost per barrel is $13 and the price is $10, aren’t you losing money?” His answer was simply “yes” – not the response he wanted to give, but being honest has served him well over the years.
Getting the correct information to advisors is something they rely on when working with a wholesaler. Investment advisors today are also more sophisticated, which is where his background in portfolio management differentiates him from many colleagues. Expertise in asset modeling, trading, derivatives, accounting, taxation, and complex investment strategies has helped ensure that he navigates Brompton’s clients toward the solutions that are best suited to their financial objectives.
Raised in a small town in Ontario beside Lake Erie, Eric loves summer watersports such as windsurfing, wakeboarding, sailing and fishing. He is married and has two teenage boys that keep him busy all the time. They both play competitive hockey and Eric has been an active volunteer coach with their teams for the past 10 years in Mississauga and the GTHL. In the winter, the family is on the slopes if not at the skating rink.
