What Integral Wealth Securities Limited does

Integral Wealth Securities Limited is a private, independent, CIRO-licensed investment dealer founded in 2003 and headquartered in Toronto. Through two operating entities — the Canadian dealer (Integral Wealth Securities Limited, CIRO/CIPF member) and the US broker-dealer (Integral Wealth Securities LLC, FINRA/SIPC member, SEC-registered across 19 states) — the firm delivers four integrated lines of business: wealth management for accredited individuals and high net worth families, investment banking for emerging and mid-market operating companies, Issuer Designated Market Making (IDMM) for small-cap Canadian listings, and agency bond and equity trading for family offices, portfolio managers, and institutional clients. The platform is open-architecture and explicitly independent of product-manufacturing institutions, allowing advisors to source best-in-class solutions across the industry.

Revenue is generated through five streams: investment banking advisory and capital raising fees (equity, debt, mezzanine, project financing), recurring market-making subscription fees for issuers, transaction-based agency trading commissions for bonds and equities, placement agent / underwriting fees on private placements, and wealth management advisory fees. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with the only transparent data point being a C$6,000 per month market-making mandate (J2 Metals Inc., 2026). The firm sources clients through relationship-based origination by investment bankers, wealth advisors, and the dedicated issuer services team (Taylor Howie), supported by an annual cross-Canada conference, sector-specific conferences, and referrals.

Operations span seven Canadian offices (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Oakville, Nanaimo, Sidney) plus New York, with electronic trading access across TSX, TSXV, CSE, CBOE, and 14 alternative venues, and custody and clearing provided by Fidelity Clearing Canada. Leadership includes founder and CEO John Gibson, CFO Clecia Louzado (promoted 2025), and CCO Steven Elliott (joined 2025), with the investment banking team carrying over 80 years of collective capital markets experience. The firm is owned through parent holding company Integral Capital Partners Inc.

Revenue model

1. Investment Banking Fees: Integral generates revenue through investment banking services including equity capital raising (private placements, prospectus offerings), debt capital raising (asset-based lending, project financing, senior-secured, mezzanine, subordinated debt), M&A advisory (sell-side, buy-side, fairness opinions), financial advisory (strategic review, capital markets strategy), and go-public transactions (RTO, sponsorship). The firm executes financings across the whole balance sheet as well as off-balance-sheet structures.
2. Market-Making Services: Market-making services are provided to public issuers for a recurring monthly fee. The firm provides Issuer Designated Market Making (IDMM) for small-cap Canadian public listings, facilitating liquidity and reducing friction costs for issuing clients. The fee structure is a fixed monthly rate per issuer engagement.
3. Wealth Management / Private Client Services: Wealth management services are provided to accredited individual investors and families, offering unbiased financial advice, investment management, and access to alternative investment opportunities. Revenue is generated through fee-based accounts (separate management accounts) and advisory relationships. The firm maintains an open-architecture product shelf.
4. Agency Trading (Equities and Bonds): Agency equity trading and agency bond trading generate commissions from executing transactions on behalf of institutional and retail clients. Bond trading covers Canadian government bonds, provincial bands, municipal bonds, and corporate bonds for family offices, portfolio managers, and institutions.
5. Placement Agent / Underwriting Fees: As placement agent for private placements of equity and equity-linked securities, the firm earns placement fees typically calculated as a percentage of total capital raised. Transactions include private placements of common shares, preferred units, convertible notes, and limited partnership interest units.
