History: 

BMO Financial Group

Established in 1817 as Bank of Montreal, BMO Financial Group has one of the richest histories of any financial institution in North America. Bank of Montreal provided Canada's first sound and plentiful currency, helped finance the transcontinental railway, and served as Canada's central bank until 1935. Today, BMO Financial Group continues as one of Canada's pre-eminent financial institutions, with a significant presence in United States and world markets.

BMO Capital Markets

BMO Capital Markets launched in June 2006, when BMO Financial Group’s Canadian, U.S. and international wholesale banking capabilities came together as one. The company’s roots date back nearly a century and include a long list of notable firms.

1912 Nesbitt Thomson
A.J. Nesbitt of Montreal and P.A. Thomson of Hamilton, Ontario establish Nesbitt Thomson, a firm that becomes a household name in Canada for its role in some of the world’s largest mining, resources, and hydroelectric power projects.

After WW2, Nesbitt Thomson expands its operations to include such diverse industry sectors as chemicals, salt, steel, ships, farm machinery, retail stores, and a transcontinental natural gas pipeline.

1976 – Burns Fry
Burns Fry is created from the merger of Burns Bros. and Denton, known for equity trading and underwriting capabilities, and Fry Mills Spence, known for strong debt trading and underwriting. These Toronto firms had been highly successful in the securities business since 1932 and 1925 respectively. The merger brings together a large capital base and a strong branch-office system.
