Derrick Yee
Senior Wealth Advisor
For Derrick Yee, clients are family. And when clients are family, you tend to feel very personally about their well being. You tend to take it personally.
It’s no surprise, then, that Derrick is so enthusiastic about the mission of Alexandria Wealth Management Group: We go far beyond the numbers, to support you in every facet of your financial life.
“Many clients seek advice from us whenever they make significant financial decisions of all kinds. It’s important to me that I am present for them at those important moments, and throughout their lives.”
Like the entire team, Derrick believes that everyone deserves to get where they want to go in life. And that it takes personalized, meticulous planning to pave the way.
Derrick Yee has a diploma in Business Management from SAIT and more than 15 years of wealth advisory experience. Married with three children, he enjoys golfing and hockey, coaches baseball and basketball for his kids, and believes in being respectful and honest above all.
