Robert Wernic
Head of Investment Specialists
As head of investment specialists, Robert leads Manulife Investment’s specialist wholesaling team, which is focused on promoting exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and alternative investment solutions to financial advisors across Canada. He’s committed to helping advisors build better portfolios and deliver stronger investment experiences for their clients.
Robert joined the firm in 2012 as a business development manager and has held increasingly senior roles, including district vice president for mutual and segregated funds across the West Island of Montreal, Gatineau, and Abitibi-Témiscamingue, before becoming director of ETFs for Eastern Canada in 2019. His success in growing ETF assets earned him Manulife’s Emerald Award in 2022.
Robert earned an M.B.A. from the Goodman Institute of Investment Management at Concordia University and a B.Com. from the John Molson School of Business.
Outside of work, Robert enjoys regular workouts, diving into a good book, and unwinding with the latest binge-worthy TV shows and movies. Whether he’s exploring new genres or rewatching old favourites, he’s always up for a great story.
