RICHARDSON FINANCIAL GROUP

The Richardson name is well recognized and highly regarded in Canadian financial services industry. It is a name synonymous with integrity, credibility and trust.

James Richardson & Sons, Limited's substantial experience in managing wealth and capital dates back to 1926 with the incorporation of Richardson Securities of Canada. In 1982, Richardson Securities merged with investment firm Greenshields Inc., forming Richardson Greenshields of Canada Limited, becoming the largest, privately-owned, independent investment and commodity contracts dealer in the country. Fourteen years later, and after much consideration, the decision was made to accept an offer of purchase from a major Canadian bank.

Building upon this legacy of experience, James Richardson & Sons, Limited celebrated its return to Canadian financial services with the successful launch of Richardson Financial Group in 2003. At that time, Richardson Financial Group consisted of two distinct operative companies: Richardson Partners Financial Limited, recognized as a leader in serving the comprehensive wealth management needs of Canadian entrepreneurs and their families, and Richardson Capital Limited, a private equity firm partnering with Canadian companies to transition and develop growing businesses.

In 2009, Richardson Partners Financial merged with GMP Private Client to form Richardson GMP, a powerful new wealth management and investment services firm, fuelled by tradition and innovation.
