About Our Name
“Aviso” means advice, and stands for leadership, innovation, partnership, responsibility and community—the values that shape our promise to our partners, advisors and investors, all of whom we are proud to call our clients.
Our Origins
Aviso was created in 2018 by uniting the talents and resources of three successful, industry-leading firms: Credential Financial, Qtrade Financial Group, and NEI Investments. All three firms were owned by one or more of Canada’s main cooperative financial organizations: the credit union Centrals, Co-operators (through its subsidiary CUMIS), and Desjardins. The owners identified a compelling business case for joining forces to create a unified organization with greater resources to invest in new and better products, services, technology, and support. That bold vision has been validated: Aviso has quickly emerged as a one of Canada’s largest independent wealth services firms.
