National Bank Financial was created in 1999 through the integration of two well-known and respected Canadian investment dealers, First Marathon Securities and Levesque Beaubien Geoffrion.  Each of these predecessor firms had established admirable reputations through their focus on professionalism, creativity and a focus on meeting clients’ needs.  As two highly successful organizations, each of them had developed different, but complementary, business strategies which, when combined, produced a powerful, national fully-integrated investment dealer capitalizing on the institutional strength of First Marathon and the retail focus of Levesque Beaubien Geoffrion.
NBCN will continue to lead in developing a network of successful, independent brokerage firms.  We created an entirely new business segment in Canada that bears our name—Correspondent Services.  We know that your success is our success.  To that end, we stand ready to commit our resources to ensure yours is a successful venture.
