Our Story
We are a mid-size national investment firm – the right size for clients who appreciate personal advice tailored to their situation. While some of our competitors offer cookie-cutter portfolios and a call centre, we prefer to form closer relationships with our clients. That’s because Leede Jones Gable is one of the few full-service investment firms not owned by a bank or life insurance company. We are owned by our employees, and that makes all the difference.
Quick Facts
- 142 advisors
- 245 employees
- $2.8 billion in assets
- 18 portfolio managers
- 100% employee-owned
Rated the #1 Investment Dealer in Canada
In its 2019 Brokerage Report Card, Investment Executive ranked us the top investment firm in Canada.
We had especially high scores for the firm’s ethics and stability. We also did well in product freedom, delivery on promises, back office support and compliance relations.
It feels great to be recognized. Now we must work hard to hang on to our lead.
