Calgary’s McLean & Partners Wealth Management Ltd announced it is the first retail brokerage firm in Canada to receive Investorside Research Association Certified Provider Status.

The mission of the Investorside Research Association is to increase investor and pensioner trust in the U.S and Canadian capital market system through the promotion and use of research that is financially aligned with investor interests.

To obtain the accreditation, McLean & Partners underwent a certification process, including a review of all research and marketing materials and can attest to the fact that the firm offers no investment banking services. Investorside believes that the Certified Provider seal will help investors select investment research providers looking out for their best interests.

“McLean & Partners Wealth Management Ltd. was founded on the principle of providing our clients with independent, unbiased research and investment advice,” says company president Brent McLean.” With the Certified Provider stamp of the Investorside Research Association, it will be much easier for individual investors to see which companies are truly aligned with the investors best interest. We are pleased to be the first investment management company in Canada to receive this certification”.
