Meeting the Financial Needs of Canadians for Over 100 Years

The Wood Gundy partnership opened its doors for business in Toronto on February 1, 1905. At the time, financial management - largely restricted to corporations and very wealthy individuals - was far from the democratic enterprise it has become today. However, the firm's storied legacy of serving the financial needs of Canadians took hold when Wood Gundy played an active role in helping place war bonds in the hands of over one million Canadians during the First World War.

The rapid economic growth that followed the Great War quickly escalated the need for increasingly sophisticated financial management expertise. Since then, the firm has helped generations of Canadians with comprehensive wealth management services. Acquired by CIBC in 1988, what is now known as CIBC Wood Gundy has consistently upheld standards that have always made our name synonymous with excellence, service and investing expertise.
