Canadian Western Trust today celebrates 30 years of excellence in providing superior customer service and product innovation to the investment community, corporations and individuals.

Canadian Western Trust was acquired by the Canadian Western Bank (CWB) Group of companies in 1996. Since joining CWB, assets under administration in Canadian Western Trust have grown nearly tenfold and totalled $3.6 billion at Jan. 31, 2007.

“It is truly gratifying to have earned the recognition and confidence of individuals and industry associates that have embraced our value proposition and highly personal approach to business,” said Adrian Baker, vp and COO of Canadian Western Trust. “We continue to expand our market presence within Western Canada and our success over the past two years in serving more Ontario based clients has also been very rewarding, particularly as it relates our future growth opportunities.”

“Our mission at Canadian Western Trust is to be recognized as the industry leader in trust services through offering our clients the best financial products, services and solutions,” said Scott Scobie, Managing Director of Sales & Marketing. “Our focus on customer service and ability to provide clients a prompt and solution oriented response sets us apart.”
