Md Management Limited, Ottawa, ON

MD Physician Services (MD) provides Canada's physicians with personalized, expert advice and best-in-class solutions to meet their total wealth management needs—from the first day of medical school right through to retirement. MD Management, the forerunner of MD Physician Services, was launched in1969, but its roots run deeper. In the 1950s, the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) recognized that many physicians were facing uncertain retirements because they lacked a structured investment and savings plan.

The CMA lobbied the Canadian government to encourage Canadians to save for retirement. Before RRSPs, only individuals who were part of employer-sponsored registered pension plans could deduct pension contributions from taxable income.
