Industry Leading Financial Expertise


A comprehensive range of investment products and services. A commitment to building long-term relationships. These are the hallmarks of ScotiaMcLeod’s success and explain why it is one of Canada’s leading full service financial institutions.


Formed in 1921, ScotiaMcLeod was originally a partnership among four young entrepreneurs, Donald Ivan McLeod, William Ewart Young, James Gordon Weir and John Henry Ratcliffe. The foundation laid by these men was rooted in trust, financial expertise and innovations, strengths that have prevailed ever since.


By the 1970s, McLeod, Young, Weir diversified to offer a full range of investment services including bond, stock and money market trading; corporate and government finance; mergers and acquisitions; commodities and futures; personal investment services; and mutual funds.


In 1987, The Bank of Nova Scotia purchased McLeod, Young, Weir, having identified it as one of the most established and respected firms in the industry.


Today, ScotiaMcLeod is a leading financial services provider with over 800 advisors serving clients in more than 70 offices across the country. It is also a division of Scotia Capital Inc., a proven corporate and investment banking leader.
