ScotiaMcLeod was originally formed as a
partnership in February 1921 by 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 innovation - 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 the investment arm
of Scotiabank, and a division of Scotia Capital
Inc. Scotiabank is one of Canada's largest
financial organizations with over $280 billion
in assets. Scotia Capital is a proven corporate
