From Humble Beginnings
The year 1979 was a turning point for Jack Rothenberg, the founder of Rothenberg Wealth Management. As a successful advisor with a leading life insurance company, he observed many changes were occurring in the financial services industry and the consumer would need a new kind of financial organization to help cope with the changes. And so, Jack began his journey as an entrepreneur in financial services.
Rothenberg & Rothenberg was founded by Jack and began modestly in a small office in Westmount Square in Montreal with one employee, focused on life insurance with an expertise in annuities.
-
Expansion and Growth
In response to the growing demand for more progressive investments, Rothenberg Wealth Management was founded in Montreal in 1986 and obtained a Mutual Fund’s Dealer license.
In 1995, the firm became an independent, full-service wealth management firm offering Canadians holistic, unbiased, and transparent advice in the areas of retirement planning, estate planning, taxation, and portfolio management.
