​

After working nearly 20 years in successful Bay Street and corporate careers, we were faced with the realization that our values, beliefs, and business activities were becoming more a reflection of ‘the institution’ and less a reflection of who we are or what we believe.  We found ourselves at a professional and personal crossroads, faced with a difficult decision:  continue on the mapped-out path ahead of us or veer off on the ‘road less travelled’, doing what we believed was best for our future clients.

​

Richard, the son of Croatian immigrants to Canada, and Darren, a proud son of small-town Port Dover, Ontario, first met while studying at the University of Waterloo. Although our family paths crossed many years ago, it took several more for our career paths to cross and finally merge. We realized that we share a similar passion for finance, possess complementary skill sets, have aligned moral and ethical compasses, and most importantly, we trust each other.  We followed our hearts and instincts, and together, founded R&D Private Capital.

​

At its core, R&D Private Capital’s unique wealth management offering is founded on building collaborative relationships centered on trust.  Trust is the foundation of our business partnership and we extend this same level of trust to you, our clients.

You are a part of the R&D family.
