Canaccord Capital is opening a branch in the Québec City region. Stéphane Rail will be the senior representative at the branch.

A native Quebecer, Rail has more than 15 years experience at the national level with major investment firms. Lucie Pouliot and Jean-François Roberge will also be joining Rail’s team.

Recently, Canaccord Capital achieved first place in satisfaction among its investment brokers, surpassing several major investment firms, according to the second annual survey conducted by Finance et Investissement magazine. According to Guy Brunet, first vice president investment brokers at Canaccord, “We have become the largest independent investment firm in Canada by attracting consultants with an innovative, entrepreneurial, and independent way of working.”

Canaccord first opened its doors in Quebec in July 1998, later merging with C.M. Olivier and Whalen Béliveau.
