People matter. This philosophy has guided Elden in both his life and his work at Lawton Partners since he joined the firm in 1978. Although many of his clients have been with him over two decades, Elden never takes their business for granted; instead he works diligently to ensure that each person who has placed their trust in him is well positioned to achieve success. He has further earned his clients’ respect by providing a consistent and honest approach to capital accumulation, retirement planning, estate conservation and intergenerational wealth transfer.
 
To help clients make well-informed decisions, Elden relies on his experience and knowledge of the latest technologies and strategies. His expertise stems from being a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU), a Registered, Certified and Chartered Financial Planner (CFP) and a Chartered Financial Consultant (CH. F. C.).
 
One of Elden’s enduring passions has been his community work through the Rotary Club, which he joined in 1984 and has since been recognized for his exceptional local and international contributions. In particular, he has assisted individuals and corporations to establish foundations supporting Manitoba hospital and universities, in addition to helping found an international youth camp program fostering global peace and understanding. Elden and his wife Diane have two adult children and he enjoys spending time fishing, golf, downhill skiing and working on handyman projects at the cottage.
