TIGER 21 Names New Co-Chairs for Vancouver Group

New York, NY (January 22, 2013) – TIGER 21, the premier peer-to-peer learning group for high-net-worth investors in North America, has announced that Roxana Colquhoun and Ben Slager were named new co-chairs for its Vancouver group.

Ms. Colquhoun has broad experience in addressing the concerns of high-net-worth individuals, particularly in the areas of intergenerational wealth transfer facilitation and financial literacy for early childhood and teens. In 2007, she co-founded HNW Services Inc., which provides support to high- and ultra-high-net-worth families who wish to outsource their “family office” needs. A Certified Management Accountant, she also spent 10-years advising entrepreneurs and affluent families on financial matters, most recently with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (BC Region).

Ms. Colquhoun studied at the London School of Economics and the Sauder School of Business (University of British Columbia) where she is a graduate of the Family Enterprise Advisor Program. She is an active member of the Institute of Certified Management Accountants as well as the Canadian Association of Family Enterprise.Mr. Slager is an attorney specializing in private equity, venture capital finance and mergers & acquisitions transactions for privately-owned companies, inventors, and venture and angel investors, among other clients. He is a named partner with Mogan Daniels Slager LLP. He is also chairman of a venture and angel-backed start-up company based in North Vancouver, which was recently listed in Profit Magazine’s “Hot 50” list as being one of Canada’s fastest growing emerging companies.

Mr. Slager has an undergraduate degree from the University of Western Ontario and a law degree from The University of British Columbia.

“As an advisor to TIGER 21 beginning with its Canadian launch two years ago, I’ve watched the groups grow by leaps and bounds. From my observations and the testimonials of current Members it is clear that TIGER 21 is adding real and significant value to Members’ lives in important and diverse ways,” said Mr. Slager. “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to be a part of this unique network of high-net-worth individuals. I also look forward to collaborating with Roxana, whose vast wealth expertise is an immeasurable asset.”

“It is a privilege to be involved with a world class organization like TIGER 21 and I look forward to using my insight into navigating the complexities of wealth towards creating an exceptional and unique experience for the Vancouver TIGER 21 Members,” said Ms. Colquhoun.

“Roxana and Ben have complementary skills and knowledge of the high-net-worth community that will be invaluable to the existing Vancouver Members,” said Thane Stenner, TIGER 21’s Managing Director for Canada, and Founding Member. “With their arrival, we have Members who are excited to learn as well as contribute, chairs who are the best in the business, and an elite list of presenters on topics that run the full spectrum of interest to high-net-worth investors.”

TIGER 21 creates a highly confidential environment for Members to safely explore critical issues affecting their lives. Through regular monthly meetings, as well as through exchanges on a private Members-only website, TIGER 21 Members share their knowledge and experiences, and help each other wrestle with issues relating to finance,investments, managers and advisors. An important part of the curriculum focuses on estate planning, family (particularly issues of wealth and children), health, and issues of communal involvement. TIGER 21’s Presenter Program complements each meeting by providing access to top finance experts from around the globe that often introduce Members to a variety of investment opportunities, as well as experts that focus on other issues.

“TIGER 21 Canada has been extremely successful after launching only two years ago, which is attributable in large part to the leadership provided by Thane and the quality chairs that he has been able to secure for each group,” said Jonathan Kempner, President of TIGER 21. “The Canadian groups are a valued part of the TIGER 21 family and this is on display through the regular contact among all North American Members, individual visits, participation in the Members-only website and the TIGER 21 annual conference.”

The Canadian groups have hosted a number of notable experts on financial topics and other wealth-related issues. Among the presenters are Larry Ohlhauser, President and CEO of Ohlhauser & Associates, who spoke on empowering individuals to take responsibility for their own health; Gerald Connor, Chairman and CEO at Cumberland Private Wealth, on global markets; Barry Allan, founding partner of Marret Asset Management Inc. on fixed income investments; Blake Bromley of Benefic, on using philanthropy in estate planning; David Picton of Picton Mahony; and Stephen King of Alaris Royalty as well as some of Deloitte’s senior partners on tax trends. The roster of world-class presenters is continuing to build and new featured speakers are announced regularly.
