Advanced Retirement Management Strategies (ARMS)

The largest generation of baby-boomers in Canadian history are retiring and are considered the wealthiest members of our population. As the world of investing becomes increasingly complex and the need by this generation for professional advice increases, the demand for qualified wealth managers with a specialization in retirement management strategies has never been greater.

With little tolerance for financial risk, more and more Canadians in or near retirement are seeking out the expertise of certified wealth managers with a specialization in retirement strategies to help them grow, protect and distribute their assets to meet their desired retirement lifestyle.

Introducing the Advanced Retirement Management Strategies (ARMS) course

This course prepares Financial Planners and Investment Advisors for a successful career in Wealth Management. Specifically, the ARMS course will equip professionals with the knowledge needed to help their clients meet their financial retirement goals.
