The Investment Funds Institute of Canada (IFIC) has launched a new website to provide industry insights and perspectives and in-depth, high-quality research findings from around the world.
“Our new website reflects our commitment to provide expertise and insight to support a strong, stable investment sector where investors can realize their financial goals,” noted IFIC president and CEO Joanne De Laurentiis, in a release. “IFIC’s primary roles are policy analysis, research and advocacy. The new website reflects our focus by taking a comprehensive approach to how information is organized and presented,” added De Laurentiis.
IFIC has introduced several improved features, such as significantly upgraded search functionality, including the ability to locate documents based on policy area or type of document. The new bilingual, accessible website incorporate responsive design so it is easy to read on all devices, including tablets and smartphones.
The new home page puts IFIC’s most current information where is can be accessed easily, with sections devoted to industry statistics, the latest policy submissions and reports, event notices, a dedicated link to IFIC’s Quebec council and Twitter feed.
IFIC has also revamped its online Investor Centre. “We know that informed investors make better decisions, are more disciplined about sticking with their investment plans, and have better quality conversations with their advisors,” said De Laurentiis. “Our new Investor Centre provides information for everyone — from those just getting started to those who want to build on their knowledge and experience to build a secure financial future.”
IFIC brings together 150 organizations, including fund managers, distributors and industry service organizations.
