Introduction
It is because they were concerned with offering their clients honest and professional advice in strategic capital management that Messrs. Robert and François Demers started their own firm, Demers Valeurs mobilières inc. Inc., back in 1992.
With over 40 years of experience in the securities industry, Mr. Robert Demers is presently the Chairman of the company's Board of Directors. A lawyer by training, he has held the positions of President of the Securities Commission as well as of the Montréal Exchange, and has acted as CEO in numerous stock brokerage firms. During his career, he was also a member on various boards of directors of both local and international companies, such as Hydro-Québec and KSH.
With a financial training and over 20 years experience in the stock brokerage industry, Mr. François Demers has been the President of the company since 1998. Very involved in his field, he is presently a member of the Québec District Council of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada (IDA).
Demers Valeurs mobilières inc. Inc. is registered with the Autorité des marchés financiers du Québec as an independent stock brokerage firm with unrestricted practice, and is also a member of the Montréal Exchange, the IDA as well as of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF), allowing to reassure investors.
