Disnat: Some History

• On April 4, 1983, following the removal of fixed commissions on brokerage transactions in Quebec and Ontario, Disnat became the very first company in Canada to offer discount brokerage services for Canadian securities.

• In 1990, Corporation Desjardins de Valeurs Mobilières (CDVM) completed its acquisition of Disnat and integrated the operation within the Desjardins network. The following year, CDVM changed its legal name to Desjardins Securities. Disnat thus became the company's discount brokerage firm.

• Although at first investors could only place trades by phone, today Disnat receives more than 80% of its orders by Internet.

• In 2003, Disnat launched DisnatDirect, a direct access service giving investors instant contact with stock exchanges and parallel markets (ECNs – Electronic Communication Networks), where they could quickly direct their orders to the best market. Once again, Disnat showed vision and leadership in its field, as it became the first online brokerage division belonging to a Canadian financial institution, namely Desjardins Group, to offer this service for highly active investors.
