Faculty profile: Marcus Leblanc

Dr. Marcus Leblanc is recognized for his applied research into option-based portfolio protection and his critical perspective on risk models. He has published comparative studies on protection strategies and is a frequent panelist at international finance conferences. Marcus is respected for his ability to make complex topics accessible without dulling the hard edges of institutional decision-making.

Marcus brings institutional risk experience from roles with major Canadian and European firms. He has advised on the implementation of complex hedging programmes during periods of high volatility, often working across teams to bridge gaps between theory and operational reality.

His teaching is known for cutting through abstract theory, focusing on practical trade-offs and the unintended consequences of option-based protection. Marcus regularly hosts peer-review sessions and encourages participants to challenge the comfort of consensus.
