About Jim Canavan
Jim grew up south of Boston in the small coastal town of Hingham, Massachusetts. After graduating from Hingham High School as of the class of 1984, Jim attended Northeastern University in Boston and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics. While attending Northeastern, Jim participated in the co-op program where he worked for various mutual fund companies located in Boston. Upon graduation in 1989, Jim moved to California and worked in Sales and Marketing for the mutual fund company Benham Capital Management.
With a desire to move back to New England, Jim accepted a position in Sales and Marketing with the Sentinel Mutual Funds in 1993, a National Life of Vermont Company located in Montpelier, VT. Jim was promoted in 2004 as National Sales Director for Equity Services, Inc. where he oversaw the sales and marketing for over 1500 advisors.
In 2008, an opening to join Smith Barney with The Lamberti Group presented itself, and Jim accepted the opportunity to become a Financial Advisor, fulfilling his passion to help individual investors. One of his primary roles on the team has been researching investments (Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds, Closed-end Funds, Unit Investment Trusts, individual stocks, and Socially Responsible Investing).
Jim and his wife Kim have been married for 35 years and live in Barre Town, VT where they raised their two children, Allison and Jonathan. In his spare time Jim enjoys participating with a local evangelical church, boating and snowmobiling in western Maine, golfing, hiking, and enjoying all that Vermont and New England has to offer.
