THE FAMILY

The RBS Investment Group (“RBS”) is a Toronto-based, privately held principal investment and advisory firm of the Seligman Family. RBS bears the initials of the second-generation founding Partner of the firm. The origin of the Seligman name comes from a Medieval lineage where the name signifies “[A] man blessed by the heavens.” The Seligman Family Code of Arms embodies the meaning and etymology of the Family name, from which the winged helmet Corporate Seal is derived.

In the financial services world, the Seligman name became distinguished with the creation of J & W Seligman Co. in the late 19th century. The firm endorsed milestone projects such as the issuance of the first U.S. Government Bonds in overseas markets, effectively establishing the U.S. credit rating, the financing of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, the expansion of the Continental railway into the Western United States and the financing of the Panama Canal.

There is now a new generation of Seligman’s endorsing additional societally significant projects, with the aim of contributing positive social, environmental and financial outcomes around our World.
