David's specialty topics

Investment management Alternative investments Practice management Equity markets Macroeconomic news

David Kitai is Senior Editor of Wealth Professional Canada, where he leads editorial coverage of the Canadian financial advice and wealth management industry. His reporting spans equity markets, macroeconomic developments, regulatory affairs, practice management, alternative investments, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), family office strategy, and financial planning — with a strong focus on how market and policy shifts affect financial advisors and their clients across Canada.

David brings broad journalism experience to the role, including magazine editing, radio production, and international reporting from Toronto, Vancouver, and Tbilisi, Georgia. He holds a Master of Journalism from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“Advisors sit at the intersection of global macro forces and the lives of ordinary Canadians. It's my privilege to learn about the work they do and it's my job to tell their stories in the most engaging way I can.”
