Tiger
21, a peer-to-peer learning group for high net worth investors, has chosen
leadership to spearhead its expansion into Canada. Thane
Stenner, who is the founder of Vancouver-based Stenner Investment Partners, and
a director of wealth management at Richardson GMP, will serve as Tiger 21’s
managing director - Canada. Richard Deacon, a business development specialist,
joins as director of strategic partnerships. Stenner
will take the lead in growing Tiger 21’s membership into Canada. Deacon will
focus on corporate partnerships in Canada as well as the US. Deacon
will align exclusive corporate partners with Tiger 21 through a new luxury
partnership program. By invitation only, the program, created for a select few luxury
brands and financial services partners, will offer access and exposure to
members. Tiger
21 announced its Canadian initiative in July with the first groups slated for
Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. It
will have a maximum of 56 Canadian members initially, with 14 members in each
of the four cities who meet monthly. Canadian
membership will ultimately be capped at 112 members. Fees are $30,000 annually.
Among the criteria for membership is $10 million in investable assets. Also
joining to support the Canadian expansion is Nancy Block Reid as director of
membership based in New York. Reid will be part of the membership recruiting
and nomination team, which also includes Martine Cunliffe, who will support the
Canadian membership selection process. Tiger
21 currently has approximately 140 members who collectively manage more than
$10 billion in investable assets.
