TORONTO, June 21, 2021 /CNW/ - RF Capital Group Inc. (TSX: RCG) today proudly announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Richardson Wealth Limited (Richardson Wealth) has engaged with Envestnet to build the premier financial wellness network, in support of its ambitious growth strategy.

Kish Kapoor, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We have clearly stated our intentions to make Richardson Wealth the brand of choice for Canada's top advisors and their high-net-worth clients.

Envestnet allows us to expand our definition of advice and address our clients' entire financial lives in an intelligent, connected way. This is a wonderful union of two like-minded companies."

A committee of Richardson Wealth advisors across Canada overwhelmingly voted in favour of this leading-edge technology. Envestnet's open architecture and advanced portfolio solutions made its financial wellness ecosystem the clear choice for our discriminating entrepreneurs.
