Link’s plan portfolios are tailored to the individual—and can help put retirement worries to rest
Shopping for clothes? Some of us can buy off the rack, and some can’t.
But when it comes to a savings portfolio, “tailor-made” is a must.
For financial advisors, the term “suitability” has taken on a new meaning as part of client-focused reforms that are reshaping the industry—one of which directs advisors to directs advisors to “put the client’s interest first.”
Link Investment Management is a disruptive innovator in the world of employer-sponsored compensation plans. And portfolio suitability has always been a cornerstone of our financial wellness solutions, including our defined contribution (DC) Multi-Employer Pension Plan (MEPP).
“The benefits of a Link savings solution are long-lasting—and, most importantly, they’re personalized,” says Brian McClennon, President and CEO of Link Investment Management.
“Investment suitability for the individual is central to our offerings. The individualized, prescribed portfolios in Link’s financial wellness plans—our MEPP, Group RRSPs and Group TFSAs—are matched to personal risk profiles, timelines and investment objectives.”
