ScotiaMcLeod
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 and investment banking leader, and contributes to making the
