About ScotiaMcLeod

ScotiaMcLeod was originally formed as a partnership in February 1921 by young entrepreneurs: Donald Ivan McLeod, William Ewart Young, James Gordon Weir and John Henry Ratcliffe, hence the company name McLeod, Young, Weir and Co. The foundation laid by these men was rooted in trust, financial expertise and innovation - strengths that have prevailed since.

By the 1970s, McLeod, Young, Weir was diversifying 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, mutual funds and various other specialty products.

In the early 1980s, the financial community called for deregulation of the industry. By 1987, the newly deregulated the investment industry was becoming highly competitive and the Bank of Nova Scotia decided that it wanted to get involved. The Bank purchased McLeod, Young, Weir because it was well established and respected in the industry.

Now, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scotiabank, we are part of one of Canada’s largest financial organizations, with over $169 billion in assets.
