For a few years now, we have been talking about behavioural finance,
a topic that is very close to my heart. Financial planning is not just
numbers: it is also the whole human side of the equation.
So it is my great pleasure to announce that with this issue of La Cible,
we will finally delve into this new field of economic expertise! In 2015,
the three feature articles in your magazine will introduce you to the
theory of behavioural finance. Reading them will help you understand
how your clients make their financial decisions.
Your magazine also welcomes two new writers this year: Robert
Laniel will take over for the Succession column and Jean-Nagual
Taillefer will take care of the Assurance column. This means that
Caroline Marion and Denis Preston will no longer write for La Cible.
I'm sure you will want to join me in extending our appreciation for
all these years of collaboration and excellent work!
2015 Congress in Rimouski
Here again, we're on to something new. This year we are offering
you a first: a hybrid format. You'll be able to attend the congress in
person or by webcast. We expect the congress to be sold out, with
just 200 on-site participants.
This formula will allow us to get off the beaten track and go meet
our affiliates in the regions, while still offering webcasting for people
who prefer online training.
The 2015 edition will be held in Rimouski next June 11 and 12. The
program will include a single two-day IPFP professional development
activity for all financial planners.
What's not changing: the Thursday night banquet and performance,
the annual general meeting on Friday morning, and the president's
benefit jog for Jeunes Entreprises du Québec on Thursday morning.
But this year I did make a special request: we're adding a zumba
course!
So it's a date! And don't forget to sign up fast if you want to attend
in person!
