Marc Schouten is a passionate business person providing life, health and travel insurance and investment planning with a strong focus on guaranteed investment freeing his clients from the downside risk of an often turbulent stock market. His company, A Better Choice Financial, is an insurance brokerage which sources the best options for clients from the wide variety of offerings of Canadian insurers. Being able to navigate clients through the different products offered by insurers and having the experience to be able to select different insurers for particular client needs is critical to finding the best choice for a particular client. For a client with no challenges in insurability it allows them to select the lowest cost offering available but for clients who have experienced health or legal challenges it is invaluable to be able to select the best insurer for their particular situation.

Marc has travelled extensively having lived in Asia and Europe and sits as a director for an Indonesian water filtration and sanitation company. He actively participates in local and international charities as well as physical challenges having completed the 2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer, Tough Mudder as well as various long distance rides and runs.  Marc completed his Bachelor of Commerce degree at UBC (now the Sauder School of Business) and holds the Certified Health Specialist designation from Advocis which certifies knowledge of disability, extended health and dental coverage, group health coverage as well as  taxation of insurance products. As well as being a busy father Marc is an avid long-distance cyclist, tennis player, sailor, begrudging runner and an accomplished cook.
