Rebrand reflects firm's focus to put client interests first, and adapt to and embrace the industry's evolution

TORONTO, Nov. 5, 2018 /CNW/ - Richardson GMP, one of Canada's largest and leading wealth management firms, today unveiled a refreshed brand that aligns with the firm's growth strategy and approach to servicing clients. The new look provides a streamlined online presence and improved client access.

"With the launch of our new brand, we have taken a progressive step towards reframing conversations around wealth – simplifying the growing complexity for wealthy Canadian families with a forward-thinking message: The next generation of wealth," said Andrew Marsh, President & CEO of Richardson GMP. "Although the look and feel is completely new, we remain focused on putting our clients' interests above anything else to offer wealth advice that is unbiased, independent and without conflicted interests."

The rebrand solidifies Richardson GMP's network of like-minded partners dedicated solely to servicing the distinct wealth management needs of successful, entrepreneurial Canadians and their families who want more – more independent long-term thinking, more investment choices, more strategic leadership, more innovation, more accountability, and more shared believes and values.

Richardson GMP will continue to invest alongside its clients and provide innovative and creative solutions to managing wealth. The firm's holistic approach as an independently-owned advisory firm offers specialized risk management and advice for business owners and professionals.

"We started the company 15 years ago with a very specific vision in mind to attract and recruit the most sophisticated advisors, with the highest integrity in their approach to managing their clients' wealth," said Mr. Marsh. "The brand that you put out to the world is a culmination of everything that your people stand for, and at Richardson GMP, people matter and relationships matter. It was time to rebrand to truly own this message. Our brand reflects the look and feel of how Richardson GMP is preparing itself for the future, and this long term vision is about where the conversation needs to go with our clients."
