We are a proud 50-plus year Canadian firm and we’re just here every day trying to work hard for Canadians, trying to give them relevant investment products that can help with their retirement security.”
Karen Adams, CEO of Fundserv, won 2019's CEO of the Year award and said it was a significant victory for women in the industry. She said: "It means so much.
