Performing at the highest levels has been core to Jonathan's approach since childhood. After attending University in Wisconsin on a golf scholarship, Jon’s education continued in Victoria. Jon joined Smart Investments in 2006 and took over the business from John Smart in 2018. In 2022, Jon made some business changes and became Alpen Investment Advisors.
He is always pleased to meet new people and discuss his investment approach through an easy-to-understand process.
Jon and his wife Jane have three children, and much of his free time is spent coaching youth baseball or watching his daughter perform in cheer competitions. He does still manage to enjoy the odd early morning tee-time.

Patricia received a Bachelor of Administrative Studies (Hons) from Trent University and began working in the insurance and investment industry soon after. Taking on an opportunity for a company transfer, she made her way from Toronto to Vancouver in 1996, working with Prudential Insurance and London Life. It’s here that she met John Smart and joined his team at Smart Investments in 1999 and now, in 2022, continuing with Jonathan Alpen at Alpen Investment Advisors.
For Patricia, one of the highlights of being part of a small team is getting to know all our clients and building relationships with them. The focus has always been on creating a positive client experience and it is very rewarding when a plan comes together on all sides.
After living, working, and playing on the north shore for nearly 25 years, Patricia believes she now qualifies as an official British Columbian! The mountains and ocean call to her, and many hours are spent outdoors enjoying all they have to offer, especially hiking and long-distance walking. Having said that, Patricia nearly packed up and moved back to Ontario after her first month here… so much rain! Happily, she forged ahead and is glad to call North Vancouver her home.

For almost two decades we have helped our clients understand their investment options, and create clarity for what they are investing in.
We take a long-term view in all we do and work relentlessly to earn your trust by delivering quality service and positive results.
We begin with questions:
We provide independent financial advice and, from there, we work with you to design a plan and a set of investments that meet your needs—not those of the financial industry, which are designed to cost you money.
