John holds a Master of Science in Finance from the National University of Ireland and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Manitoba.

Portfolio Manager

Mathew Cain, CIM®

Portfolio Manager

Mathew Cain is a Portfolio Manager at Optimize who partners with advisors, wealth planners, and clients to build tailored portfolios. He provides clarity on Optimize’s investment approach, personalized advice, and timely economic updates. His interest in finance began at just 11 years old, when a holiday job with an advisor introduced him to the fast-paced financial services world. In his 20s, Mathew grew more aware of the lack of transparency in fees and services, which inspired his commitment to making financial advice clear and accessible. He reflects these values at Optimize. Education is one of his top priorities. He believes clients shouldn’t need a finance degree to understand their money, and takes pride in breaking down complex concepts into straightforward insights. Outside of work, Mathew enjoys spending time with his wife, young daughter, and dog, often exploring trails by the beach.
