Head of wealth and asset management
Manulife Canada
Bernand Letendre has been with Manulife since 2009, serving in a variety of roles. He is now head of wealth and asset management for Canada, where he oversees initiatives like Manulife Goals-Based Investing, launched late last year. Powered by advanced data analytics, the tool aims to make retirement decisions easier for Canadians by using variables such as age, income, health factors and postal code to help customers get a clearer picture of the income they’ll need at retirement.
“We're passionate about leveraging industry-leading technology to delight our customers, which is why we are introducing this program," Letendre said when announcing the program. "Through simple questions, advisors will be able to provide an actionable retirement plan that's personalized to a client's unique needs."
