Andrew Mo
Vancouver Canada
Andrew is an honours with distinction student at St. George's School in Vancouver, Canada. Despite his young age of 15, his passion for finance and social issues drives him to take on leadership roles in various school associations, non-profits, and other organizations. The youngest ever executive to be elected to the board, Andrew serves as the Learning Coordinator of the St. George's Investment Club, the largest student-led organization at school with over 60 active members. Their mission is to connect three value-investing components: comprehensive learning segments, management of a $50,000 TSX/TSXv portfolio, and a philanthropic focus. The club aims to promote financial literacy through lectures with distinguished guest speakers and field trips to financial firms in Vancouver. St. George's School Investment Club has been connected to Canaccord Genuity Group, Odlum Brown Investment Management Firm, Sandstorm Gold Ltd, and most recently, RBC Global Asset Management and PH&N Investment Services. Last Year, the club has achieved a 11.2% portfolio growth last year, allowing a donation of $5000 to charities (Canadian Cancer Society, Project Somos Guatemala Children’s Village, Relay for Life).
Beyond finance, Andrew dedicates his time to community service and volunteering. He has taken on the duties of Co-Chair of the Community Service Club in Grade 9, and Representative of the Service Learning Committee for the second year running. Outside of school, he represents the youth in the Kerrisdale area and voice their opinions at the Vancouver City Youth Council, a student-driven initiative backed by the Vancouver Parks Board and connected with the municipal government, the Vancouver City Council.
As a saxophonist, Andrew is very involved with his school's music program. A member of both the acclaimed, gold-winning St. George's Senior Concert Band and Jazz Band (1st alto saxophone), he sacrifices break times and wakes up early in the morning to attend the rigorous group rehearsals. Outside of school, Andrew enjoys composing and producing film scores, an exercise which develops his musicality and skills. He collaborates with other hobby musicians to release jazz and ambient soundtracks on amateur networks.
