February 1, 2017
Toronto, ON – February 1, 2017 – The Investment Funds Institute of Canada (IFIC) today launched a new advisor portal on its website (https://www.ific.ca/en/pg/advisor-centre/) with insights on current topics and plain language tools to help advisors keep up to date on issues affecting their practices and improve clients’ understanding of their investments.“Today's financial advisor works in a rapidly changing environment marked by changing client needs, ongoing regulatory developments, and innovations in technology,” said IFIC president and CEO Paul C. Bourque, Q.C. “Our new Advisor Centre provides insights and tools to help advisors keep on top of these changes so they can better help their clients understand their investments and make informed decisions.”
The Advisor Centre offers a menu of key topics, including CRM tools and tips, mutual fund fees, serving vulnerable investors, hot regulatory topics and the value of advice. A second menu organizes materials by type, facilitating access to IFIC's popular Advisor Insights bulletins, infographics, presentations, issues summaries and more.
The Advisor Centre provides easy access to IFSE Institute (https://www.ifse.ca/) – IFIC’s education arm. IFSE is a leader in online learning delivery, providing practical, cost-effective financial education that covers all aspects of the financial services industry, designed to help beginners and professionals improve their financial literacy.
