Steve Randall is a senior financial journalist at Wealth Professional Canada, where he has covered the Canadian financial advice and wealth management industry since 2014 — making him one of the publication's longest-serving contributors. His beat spans Canadian macroeconomics, Bank of Canada monetary policy, equity markets, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), alternative investments, life and health insurance, labour market data, and the geopolitical developments affecting Canadian financial advisers, investment advisors, and wealth managers.

He is the author of the Morning Briefing newsletter, which reaches thousands of Canadian financial professionals daily. Steve brings more than three decades of media experience across digital, print, radio, and podcasting to his reporting, and also writes for InvestmentNews, covering US financial markets and regulatory developments for American financial advisors.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“Keeping financial advisors and other wealth professionals updated with news and insights is an honour. After more than a decade, I remain excited by the evolution of investments and the advisory space.”
