Founded in 1857, Richardson Wealth's journey began with James Richardson & Sons Limited, a grain business Kingston, Ontario. Evolving through the Great Depression and two World Wars, the company ventured into investment securities in the 1920s.
Some significant changes took place over the years. The company merged with Greenshields Inc., marking the birth of Richardson Greenshields in 1982. More changes followed; in 1996, the company was sold to a Canadian bank.
The Richardson name returned in 2003 with the launch of the Richardson Financial Group. After several corporate transformations, the company became Richardson Wealth in 2020.
