Toronto-based Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. on Tuesday welcomed Vancouver-based Cash Management Group (CMG) as Canaccord expands its Canadian wealth-management division.

CMG specializes in institutional cash management for municipalities, Crown corporations, public and private companies with a focus on principal protection, liquidity and yield. The group also manages a foreign-exchange program in addition to a private wealth-management service tailored for high net-worth investors in Canada.
