Read the Story Behind Our Success


WANVora Wealth Management was founded by Waqar Naqvi, CFA, Ph.D., and Narinder Singh, CPA, CGA; two career professionals who watched, separately, as Canadian families lost wealth to advisors who worked in silos. After more than 25 years of combined experience between Big-4 international tax practice, institutional investment management, and academic finance research, we built the firm we wished our own families had access to: one team, one table, one integrated plan.

We launched WAN Vora because the integrated model that ultra-high-net-worth families take for granted; one team coordinating planning, tax, and investments, has never been available to Canadian families with $2M to $50M. Our founding partners built their careers serving exactly this segment, and we have organized the firm to deliver that level of integration to a deliberately small number of clients.
