Knowledge Bureau is pleased to announce that Franklin Templeton Investments will be joining us again as a partner for the 15th annual Distinguished Advisor Conference (DAC) taking place in beautiful, historic Quebec City, November 11-14, 2018. You won’t want to miss two important educational sessions offered by Franklin Templeton.
One is on the important subject of spotting elder abuse. The other – a new lunch and learn feature at DAC – will offer a deep dive on integrating hedge funds into investment portfolios. Special guest speaker Sophie Orru has nineteen years of experience in the financial services industry and has been with Franklin Templeton since 2005. As a Vice President of Regional Sales, she is responsible for expanding sales of mutual funds, separately managed accounts, segregated accounts, and broadening client relationships in Quebec City and Eastern Quebec.
The 2018 DAC theme is “The Changing Face of Community: Collaboration with Impact.” With the support of partner companies like Franklin Templeton, the riveting sessions at this year’s conference will help you strive for higher standards of care, work “above your privilege” as a Canadian citizen, improve services and give back more in mentorship and engagement to a new client base with vastly different demands of their tax and financial advisors. Registration for this pre-eminent educational event is now open.
