(January 11 – 15:00 ET) The board of the Canadian Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors has authorized its chair, Jim Rogers, to continue merger discussions with the Canadian Association of Financial Planners.
“A merger, if implemented, will go far in reducing the consumer confusion about our industry and will help to serve our combined memberships more effectively,” Rogers said Tuesday, following CAIFA’s board meeting. “I’m very encouraged by our board’s support for continued discussions.”
CAIFA and CAFP will now enter into formal discussions to explore the future relationship between the two groups.
The Canadian Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors is a not-for-profit professional association. Its 18,000 members provide financial advice and various financial products for the benefit of their approximately 9 million clients.
