The document they put their names to that morning incorporated The Dominion Securities Corporation Limited\u2014a name that reflected its national scope. The founders, led by Senator George Cox and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Edward Rogers Wood, were principals in the Central Canada Loan and Savings Company, and they had a vision that reached beyond the walls of a single office on King Street East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That single office grew. Within six years, the firm had crossed the Atlantic, becoming the first Canadian investment house to plant its flag in London. In 1908, Dominion Securities (DS) completed the first public issue by a Canadian company in the London market, bringing Western Canada Flower Mills to British investors. The founding generation set a pattern the firm would follow for the next century: build where no market exists, and grow alongside the country it serves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-well well is-style-b-blue-tint-4\">\n<h3 id=\"h-our-rbc-dominion-securities-milestones\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our RBC Dominion Securities milestones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1901:<\/strong> Dominion Securities Corporation Limited was established in Toronto<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1907:<\/strong> The entire firm was being served by one switchboard and 22 telephones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1908: <\/strong>Completed the first public issue by a Canadian company in London, UK., bringing Western Canada Flower Mills to British investors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1937: <\/strong>A new stock trading department was created, and completed DS\u2019s investment capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1949:<\/strong> Helped finance Toronto\u2019s first subway<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1974: <\/strong>DS ranked #1 in the Canada Savings Bond Campaign and handled some of the largest block stock transactions in Canada<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1991: <\/strong>Became the first Canadian bank-approved firm to underwrite corporate securities in the U.S.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1996:<\/strong> RBC Royal Bank obtained 100% ownership of DS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Today: <\/strong>We continue to serve every client with a personalized approach to their investment management and wealth planning needs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-growing-in-step-with-a-nation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growing in step with a nation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Canada built its cities, its infrastructure, and its industries, DS was there. When the First World War tested the nation, the firm stood at the center of financing the war effort. Its War Loan and Victory Loan bonds did more than raise money for the front lines\u2014they helped lay the groundwork for Canada\u2019s entire bond market, introducing millions of citizens to the idea of owning a piece of their country\u2019s debt. In the decades that followed, the firm helped finance the country\u2019s first subway in Toronto, and served as one of the primary financial agents for the Alcan Highway Pipeline in 1977. As the country grew, so did the firm\u2019s branches, until offices stood in every principal city from coast to coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/ae-ames-office-staff-inline-edited-e1789757581822.jpg?w=958\" alt=\"Dominion Securities front office staff in 1901\" class=\"wp-image-35148\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.9991881596203085;width:664px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dominion Securities front office staff in 1901.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The firm that would one day manage billions began with a single switchboard, a few dozen telephones, and a team. The entire Toronto operation was small enough that every bond issued, every trade made, and every client call returned flowed through the same lines. By the mid-1960s, the firm grew to more than 400 employees, needing three switchboards linking 30 trunk lines to 74 extensions. The firm\u2019s steady climb was measured in the gradual trust of a country and the people that were growing alongside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-well well

firm\u2019s growth came not only through expansion, but also through joining forces. Over the decades, a series of mergers brought together some of Canada\u2019s investment names. In 1981, the firm merged with A.E. Ames &amp; Co., an investment firm founded in 1899\u2014older than DS itself. Together, the two firms united more than 150 years of shared history under one roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A defining moment came when Royal Bank of Canada acquired a majority stake of the firm in 1988, uniting the strengths of a national bank with a century of investment expertise. The firm then became RBC Dominion Securities, and a new chapter began\u2014one that would see it grow into one of the country\u2019s top wealth managers, with a reach well beyond Canada\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/ds-archive-image-inline-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Dominion Securities office\" class=\"wp-image-35145\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5000234378662167;width:751px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/ds-archive-image-inline-edited.jpg 3672w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/ds-archive-image-inline-edited.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/ds-archive-image-inline-edited.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/ds-archive-image-inline-edited.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/ds-archive-image-inline-edited.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/ds-archive-image-inline-edited.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">First DS office on 26 King Street East, Toronto. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-lens-into-today-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A lens into today <\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the vision of the founders still echoes through every client relationship.
