But instead of taking over his father’s practice, Stenner decided to start his own practice from scratch in Scotia McLeod in 1989. He then progressed to senior positions at Merrill Lynch, CIBC Wood Gundy, and Richardson GMP, where he obtained numerous important designations.
He also became the founding member, chairman emeritus, and former managing director of Tiger 21 Canada, which is part of an elite peer-to-peer network of North American high-net-worth investors, who together manage more than US$100 billion in assets.
Afterwards, he was recruited to join Morgan Stanley as a managing director in the US in 2017, where he led the Stenner Zohny Group of Graystone Consulting.
“It’s like the NFL down there compared to the CFL here, and we were able to accomplish some very good things before coming back,” Stenner said.
Today, Stenner leads an award-winning team of wealth specialists at Stenner Wealth Partners+ of Canaccord Genuity, which caters to clients across Canada whose net worth ranges from $25 million to $2.5 billion+. He wants to expand the practice over the following ten years while maintaining the exceptional standards of service that has become his hallmark among clients.
