Financial Services

Wellington West was founded in 1993 by one of Canada’s top investment advisors, Charles Spiring. Charlie walked away from a successful career at a major financial institution in order to create a top-quality, local investment boutique. Charlie’s vision was to create a brokerage owned by brokers. He was committed to selecting only the best and brightest talent in the industry - people who lead and inspire their communities. Over the past 15 years, Wellington West has become one of the largest and fastest-growing independent full-service investment firms in Canada. Today, we have more than 47 offices and 500 employees and nearly $8 billion in client assets under administration. With our full-service brokerage at the core, we have expanded our team of partners to include an award-winning capital markets group, a cross-country network of financial planners and a growing asset management division. Among our many corporate achievements, Wellington West has earned one of the top two spots as Best Employer in Canada for the past three years, named one of Canada's Fastest Growing Companies in 2007 and one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies for 2008. In addition, Wellington West Capital Inc. has held the No. 1 ranking for four of the past five years in the Investment Executive Brokerage Report Card survey and Wellington West Capital Markets Inc., was named No. 2 Independent Investment Dealer in the 2006 Financial Post / Starmine Top Analyst Awards. Wellington West is home to one of Canada’s leading wealth management affinity programs - Clearsight, endorsed by 22 leading post-secondary educational institutions as the preferred wealth management partner for their alumni members.
