Direct peers

• Canaccord Genuity Group: Independent Canadian investment dealer with global operations and a significant focus on mining, energy, and growth-company advisory. Directly comparable to Haywood in size, sector specialization, and product mix (IB, research, sales & trading, wealth management). Several former Haywood staff (e.g., Don Wong, Trina Wang) previously worked at Canaccord, evidencing direct talent overlap.
• Cormark Securities: Toronto-based independent Canadian investment dealer focused on mid-market and growth-company advisory, research, and institutional sales and trading. Comparable to Haywood as a sector-focused independent competing for similar mining and energy mandates.
• Beacon Securities: Independent Canadian investment dealer providing investment banking, equity research, and institutional sales and trading with a focus on small-to-mid cap resource and growth companies. Lui Barbati joined Haywood from Beacon in 2023, indicating direct market overlap.
• Echelon Wealth Partners: Independent Canadian investment dealer with research, institutional sales, and investment banking across sectors including mining and energy. A direct competitor to Haywood for junior and mid-tier resource sector mandates.
• PI Financial Corp. Vancouver-headquartered independent Canadian investment dealer with a strong mining and resource sector franchise. Closely comparable to Haywood head-to-head for mining IB, research, and institutional sales mandates.

Broad incumbents

• National Bank Financial Markets: Bank-owned dealer arm of National Bank of Canada with a leading Canadian mining and resource sector franchise. Overlaps with Haywood across mining equity research, sales & trading, and advisory, but with materially larger balance sheet and broader product suite.
• BMO Capital Markets: Investment banking and securities arm of Bank of Montreal and a major Canadian resource sector dealer. Competes with Haywood for mid-tier mining and energy mandates, with the scale and balance-sheet advantages of a Schedule I bank.
• RBC Capital Markets: Investment banking arm of Royal Bank of Canada with a global mining and energy franchise. Competes with Haywood for capital markets mandates, especially larger resource sector deals, but offers a much broader product set as a bank-owned dealer.
• TD Securities: Investment banking arm of Toronto-Dominion Bank, active in mining and energy equity capital markets and M&A. Overlaps with Haywood for institutional client coverage but operates at substantially larger scale.
• Eight Capital (now iA Capital Markets): Canadian mid-market investment dealer (now part of iA Financial Group) with research, institutional sales, and IB coverage of mining, energy, and technology. Comparable to Haywood in segment focus but with parent-company capital backing.
