CI Assante Wealth Management
Markham, Ontario
For over 30 years, Michael Connon, CFP®, B.Sc., has helped Canadians take control of their financial lives with calm, confident guidance.
As a Senior Financial Advisor at Assante Capital Management Ltd. and long-standing partner at The McClelland Financial Group (TMFG), he works closely with professionals, entrepreneurs, and families with $3M+ in investable assets, building strategies designed for real life—not just theory.
Michael’s focus is clear: simplify the complex. Whether it’s planning for retirement, navigating tax strategy, optimizing investments, or structuring generational wealth, he delivers advice that’s grounded, actionable, and built to last.
Clients don’t come to Michael for the latest trends. They come for perspective, accountability, and a long-term plan that evolves with them.
At TMFG, he helps lead a team that delivers fully integrated wealth strategies with a fee-based model that puts clients first—no commissions, no pressure, just thoughtful advice backed by data and experience.
Michael also co-hosts Think Smart with TMFG, a weekly podcast where he breaks down everything from inflation and market volatility to the real meaning of financial independence. It’s financial insight, minus the jargon.
His style? Collaborative, curious, and refreshingly direct. He doesn’t push products—he builds relationships. For clients going through major life changes or mapping out their next chapter, Michael is the steady voice they rely on to keep things clear.
Outside of work, Michael enjoys playing guitar with his band, riding his motorcycle, and spending time with his wife, two children, and their dog, Cooder. He finds joy in the simple things—weekends at the cottage, working with his hands, and time well spent with friends and family.
If you’re looking for an advisor who combines technical expertise with real-life perspective—and who values clarity over complexity—Michael Connon and the TMFG team bring experience, integrity, and a refreshingly human approach to wealth.
Backed by decades of expertise, a client-first philosophy, and an unwavering focus on real outcomes, The McClelland Financial Group continues to be a trusted beacon of guidance in an increasingly complex financial world.
