Cedar Leaf Capital, Canada’s first majority Indigenous-owned investment dealer, announced plans to open its doors later this month to foster greater Indigenous participation in Canada's capital markets. The partnership between Scotiabank, Nch’ḵaỷ Development Corporation, Des Nedhe Group, and Chippewas of Rama First Nation, first announced in February 2024, has received all required regulatory approvals.
The new investment dealer is uniquely positioned to foster greater Indigenous participation in Canadian capital markets through employment, and by creating commercial opportunities for Indigenous communities. It will open doors for Indigenous communities to access tailored financial advice, build capital, and drive economic development.
