Bellwether, based in Oakville, and Toronto’s d1g1t are drawing clients from major banks by offering tech-enabled services to investors with $1–10 million and advising 100 firms, respectively.
d1g1t expects $1 trillion in assets on its platform by mid-year and recently partnered with RBC’s wealth unit. Both firms are expanding into the US, leveraging AI and digital tools to accelerate growth.
Bellwether and d1g1t’s rapid growth reflects a broader shift toward independent, technology-driven wealth management, though both stress the continued importance of human advisers alongside digital innovation.
