History
1912 - Nesbitt Thomson

After WW2, Nesbitt Thomson expands its operations to include such diverse industry sectors as chemicals, salt, steel, ships, farm machinery, retail stores, and a transcontinental natural gas pipeline.
1976 – Burns Fry
Burns Fry is created from the merger of Burns Bros. and Denton, known for equity trading and underwriting capabilities, and Fry Mills Spence, known for strong debt trading and underwriting. These Toronto firms had been highly successful in the securities business since 1932 and 1925 respectively. The merger brings together a large capital base and a strong branch-office system.
