With more than 30 years of experience in the investment industry, Mark brings depth, stability, and a thoughtful perspective to help clients navigate their financial lives. A graduate of the University of British Columbia, Mark has built his career on a simple but powerful principle: putting clients first.
Mark joined Raymond James Ltd. in 2012, following eight years with an independent firm and earlier experience at a bank-owned investment firm. This diverse background gives him a well-rounded perspective and allows him to provide balanced, objective advice tailored to each client's unique circumstances. Mark especially enjoys working with multi-generational families and retirees, where his depth of experience and steady approach are well suited to long-term planning.
At Ely Clark & Associates Wealth Management, Mark works closely with his team to support clients through every stage of life. They take the time to understand what matters most, whether that's managing investment portfolios, planning for retirement, supporting family, or building a lasting legacy and develop strategies designed to evolve alongside those priorities.
For Mark, exceptional advice begins with strong relationships. He and his team stay in close, regular contact with clients, proactively reviewing financial plans and portfolios to ensure everything remains aligned and on track. It's this consistent, personal approach that has earned long-term partnerships built on trust, confidence, and shared success, many of them spanning decades.
Outside the office, Mark enjoys travelling with his wife, Denise, and their family. He has been a longtime supporter of the Victoria rugby and cricket communities, as well as the Cridge Centre for the Family and Lifetime Networks Victoria. He is also a lifetime member of the Union Club of British Columbia, and his involvement reflects his love of teamwork, tradition, and giving back to the place he calls home.
