Jennifer Jackson
Senior Wealth Advisor
Jennifer Jackson leads The Jackson Group, a six-person team specializing in adaptive retirement and early retirement strategies. She began her career in 1995 at one of CIBC’s predecessor firms, where she learned the value of having a detailed financial plan. This principle has become the foundation of her success.
Today, Jen follows a disciplined process that integrates wealth and lifestyle planning, working primarily with late-career professionals in fields such as health care, manufacturing and defence, with specialized retirement programs for various large companies. Jen focuses on building financial plans that can shift as her clients’ lives evolve. She designs investment portfolios that can weather all markets, and provides ongoing support to mitigate all forms of risk, from tax and inflation to longer life expectancies.
After many years, The Jackson Group has seen this adaptive approach hold particular value for those facing retirement, and even more so for those considering early retirement.
Jen’s team has over 90 years of combined experience in financial services, holding credentials that include Certified Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and Certified Investment Manager (CIM). This depth of knowledge, combined with Jen’s specialized expertise, helps clients pursue not only their financial objectives, but also more meaningful personal goals in retirement and family life.
Jen’s love for what she does has led her through a deeply fulfilling career. Beyond her primary professional role, she is passionate about helping her community. Her team supports the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the Merrymount Family Support and Crisis Centre, and Jen participates in the CIBC Run for the Cure every year. Through her work with CIBC’s Commercial Banking and Wealth Management Inclusion and Diversity Action Committee (IDAC), and as a mentor to young women, Jen also hopes to help grow the diversity of professionals working in the wealth management industry.
Jen lives in West London with her husband, Mike. She enjoys travelling, gardening and working out with her personal trainer. Jen is also an unapologetic foodie.
