About Gus MacDonell
A lifelong North-West Ontario resident, Gus came to Fort Frances to begin his career as a professional forester. Soon after, he met his wife Barbara and he decided to remain in Fort Frances. Making that possible was his new career calling, becoming a financial professional.

The financial services industry has seen a significant amount of change over the last two decades. What hasn’t changed is that ethical professionals are earnestly running wealth management practices centered on putting their clients’ interest first. Unfortunately, the growth initiatives and the seemingly endless bureaucratic and one-sided directives from many dealers have slowly put them at odds with this principle.

As your partner, we’ll help you deliver an exceptional client experience – one that not only cements client loyalty but also drives new business.
We’ll show you how to streamline your processes, increase productivity and grow your bottom line. When you join Optimize Wealth, you become part of a team with one common goal, to help our Financial Professionals build a better business while providing your clients with expert financial advice. The major difference at Optimize Wealth is that we measure our teams’ success based on how well they help their clients achieve their goals rather than based on how much commissions or revenues they generate from their clients.
