Richardson Wealth Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of RF Capital Group Inc., today appointed Kevin Shubley as senior vice-president, head of advisory experience and growth, effective immediately.

Mr. Shubley is an accomplished leader with more than 20 years experience. Prior to joining Richardson Wealth one year ago as VP, business strategy and analysis, Mr. Shubley held progressively senior leadership roles. Most recently, at a small independent wealth management firm, he was head of strategic initiatives. Prior to that, at a bank-owned firm, he was head of private investment counsel where he also led a portfolio manager program. He has the CFP and CIM designations and is a CFA charterholder.

"Kevin is ideal to lead the work to help our advisory teams grow, make their practices more valuable and to ensure a relentless focus on creating operational excellence," says Dave Kelly, president and chief executive officer, Richardson Wealth.

Mr. Shubley's portfolio will include practice management, training and development, onboarding, national partnership office, business strategy and analysis, the wealth compliance advisors team, and the corporate development team overseeing adviser acquisition.

Mr. Shubley said: "I came to Richardson Wealth in March of 2024 because I saw the opportunity this company has to be the destination of choice for Canada's top advisers and their clients. One year later, and after some great strides forward, I am even more convinced that the path we are on is leading us in that direction. I'm thrilled to work with Dave Kelly, our leadership team and our advisory teams in this expanded capacity."

This appointment is a testament to Richardson Wealth's mission to ensure advisers have what they need to enhance their practices and deliver superior client advice and service.
