What Richardson GMP does

Richardson Wealth (formerly Richardson GMP), legally RF Capital Group Inc., is a Canadian boutique wealth management firm headquartered in Toronto with between 501 and 1,000 employees, the majority of whom are licensed financial advisors. Founded in 2003, the firm delivers a comprehensive wealth management offering through its advisor-led distribution model across Canada, covering investment management, estate planning, retirement planning, tax optimization, insurance, business owner advisory, and life-event financial planning. Its services are horizontally segmented across high-net-worth individuals, business owners, women investors, next-generation investors, and retirees, supported by content marketing, daily market commentary, and a wealth strategies podcast for top-of-funnel engagement.

Underlying technology is not publicly disclosed beyond client-facing assets such as the 'MyRichardsonWealth' portal, the 'Find an Advisor' locator, and the 'My NextGen Plan' offering for younger investors. The firm operates as the distribution and advisory layer within iA Financial Corporation Inc.'s broader wealth management platform following the October 31, 2025 acquisition that took RF Capital Group private while maintaining the boutique advisor culture.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring wealth management fees on advised client assets, with pricing not publicly disclosed and negotiated on an advisor-by-client basis. No specific fee schedule, AUM figures, or financial KPIs are published in the input material. Following the iA Financial Group acquisition, the firm is positioned for potential cross-sell of insurance and wealth products into its existing HNW client base, with continued investment in advisor productivity tools.

Broad incumbents

• TD Wealth: Wealth management division of TD Bank Group serving Canadian investors with advice, private banking, and asset management. Overlaps with Richardson Wealth in advisor-led HNW services but operates at much larger scale within a banking group.
• Manulife Wealth: Canadian wealth and advisory business of Manulife Financial, combining insurance, investment, and advice services. Comparable advisor-led wealth offering with the added scale of a major insurer-distributor — a structural parallel to Richardson Wealth's new iA Financial ownership.
• BMO Wealth Management: Wealth business of Bank of Montreal, offering full-service advisory, private banking, and investment solutions to Canadian investors. Direct overlap with Richardson Wealth's HNW and business-owner segments, but with bank-distribution advantages.
• Scotia Wealth Management: Wealth management arm of Scotiabank providing advice-based financial planning, private banking, and investment management in Canada. Competes for the same advisor-served HNW clients as Richardson Wealth, but with integrated banking distribution.
• RBC Wealth Management: Wealth arm of Royal Bank of Canada, one of the Big 5 Canadian banks, offering full-service wealth advisory across HNW and ultra-HNW segments. Competes with Richardson Wealth but benefits from broader bank distribution and balance sheet.
