TORONTO, December 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Today is an important day for all of us here at Canaccord
Genuity Group. We are unveiling a bold new logo that will become an
integral element of all our communications, products and
experiences.
In recent years we have worked hard to improve alignment across
our operations and transform our business mix to create a Company
that is capable of delivering more predictable and sustainable
results.
In doing so, we have improved our business on every measure.
Culturally, we are more aligned than ever. We are collaborating
across regions and businesses to deliver stronger results for our
clients, and growing returns for our business.
We have substantially increased scale across our global wealth
management operations while simultaneously extracting greater value
from our capital markets businesses. We recently delivered our
fourth consecutive quarter of profitability on an adjusted
basis.
The benefit of our collective efforts has also been reflected in
our share price performance. The value of our common shares has
increased by almost 40% compared to one year ago, and Canaccord
Genuity Group's share price has delivered the strongest one-year
return when compared to our independent wealth management and
investment banking peers across Canada, the US and the UK.
As we advanced our long-term strategy, we began to explore
whether our brand accurately reflected our core values and
represented the Company that we have become. We agreed that we
would make a change only when the positive changes we were making
across the organization were significant and sustainable.
We believe that time is now.
Our brand is built on the idea that employees across our
organization are driven to always do better - for our clients, our
shareholders and our colleagues. By steadily evolving our platforms
and expanding our client focus, while staying true to our
independent roots, we have set new benchmarks for excellence to
become an increasingly stronger company.
I am confident that our new visual identity captures the
improved energy and engagement across our organization, as we
leverage our shared strengths to do our best work.
We are driven by your success.
Sincerely,
Dan Daviau,
President & CEO
Canaccord Genuity Group Inc.
