“Odyssey is excited to launch our new product offering – employee compensation plans, through our partnership with Global Shares. Employee compensation plans are a key aspect to our client’s business and this offering gives us the ability to provide a true “all-inclusive” solution for the administration of our client’s share registers and plans,” said Jay Campbell, President of Odyssey. “Odyssey was created because we knew the market was missing an independent trust company that could deliver personal, customized solutions for its clients and be backed by one of the most experienced teams in the country.

We look forward to a successful partnership over the coming years.”

We are delighted to announce this new partnership with Odyssey Trust today and bring two independent pioneering financial services brands together to strengthen our respective offering as we bring our joint solutions to the Canadian market.”
