David Cork Biography

David Cork is a Canadian econo-futurist, bestselling author, and keynote speaker whose work focuses on demographics, economics, and financial planning. As a senior wealth advisor at ScotiaMcLeod, a national investment firm, Cork has spent more than four decades advising families, businesses, individuals, and trusts. He graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with a joint degree in business and political science before joining ScotiaMcLeod. His experience as both an investment professional and public intellectual provides a grounded perspective on the economic forces influencing modern life.

Early in his career, Cork encountered a magazine article on the social impact of the baby boom in North America, which aligned with his observations of client behavior. As baby boomers matured, they became increasingly interested in investing for their children’s education and their own retirement. Cork began researching demographics and recognized that the influx of baby boomers would significantly impact financial markets. This realization became the foundation for his public commentary and writing.

Cork authored the bestseller "The Pig and the Python: How to Prosper from the Aging Baby Boom," which spent 40 weeks on national bestseller lists. The Globe and Mail described the book as "The Wealthy Barber meets Boom, Bust and Echo." An Americanized version was later released in the United States. He followed with two additional books: "When the Pig Goes to Market: How to Achieve Long-Term Investing Success" and "Bulls, Bears and Pigs: How to Find Balance in Your Financial Life."

In his roles as associate director and senior investment executive, Cork analyzes how baby boomers’ spending and financial habits influence the stock market, applying this insight to securities selection. He is frequently quoted in financial media and has appeared on CBC Newsworld, Question Period with Craig Oliver, Pamela Wallin Live, and CBC's The National. Cork is a co-founder and board member of the Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op, serves on the co-op development and government relations committees of the Ontario Co-operative Association, and has been a member of the advisory board for the University of Waterloo Conrad Centre in Entrepreneurship in Technology. Cork is recognized for his commentary on financial markets and demographic trends in both Canada and the United States.
