Stuart Hinshelwood is a Portfolio Manager at Optimize, where he helps clients select investment strategies that align with their financial goals and risk tolerance. He works closely with clients and advisors to ensure each portfolio reflects their evolving needs and provides clear insight into how investment decisions support long-term outcomes.
Stuart was first drawn to the investment industry after hearing a seasoned portfolio manager describe his career with such passion and enthusiasm, even after 20 years. The ongoing process of learning, testing, and applying financial concepts resonated deeply, leading Stuart to pursue a path where he could do the same.
What Stuart finds most rewarding is simplifying the complex. He enjoys breaking down sophisticated financial topics into everyday language, helping clients feel informed, empowered, and confident in their decisions.
Outside of work, Stuart stays active with a wide range of interests, from hockey and lacrosse to golf, tennis, cycling, and chess. He also values family time, especially being involved in his kids’ sports and activities.
