announced record global quarterly wealth management revenue of C$242.9 million ($177 million) for the three-months ending 30 June 2025, a year-over-year increase of 12.5 per cent on Friday. The global increase in revenue was largely attributable to higher commissions and fees revenue earned in all geographies, reflecting the firm’s strategy of increasing contributions from fee-based assets. The firm’s global wealth management division contributed net income before taxes of C$40.8 million for the three-months ended 30 June 2025, a year-over-year increase of 22.7 per cent. Total client assets in the firm’s global wealth management division increased by 18.4 per cent year-over-year to a new record of C$125.3 billion with new highs achieved in all regions. Growth reflects year-over-year increases of 16.9 per cent in Canada, 17.6 per cent in the UK & Crown Dependencies, and 34.3 per cent in Australia.
