Green line to lose brand name
Article Abstract:
Green Line Investors Services, Canada's pioneer discount brokerage company, will soon lose its brand name and become part of the soon-to-be established TD Waterhouse Securities Inc. The TD Waterhouse is being created by Green Line owner Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) to house its global discount brokerage business and as part of its design to create a global brand name. Although Green Line has become Canada's most successful on-line broker, TD believes its phase-out will greatly serve in its effort to establish a global name in the industry.
