Your participation in the This week with Canada Life call gives us the opportunity to connect with you on relevant changes and updates that relate to your business and to answer your questions.

Your call recap
On Sept. 16, Mike Cunneen, Senior Vice-President, Insurance and Independent Distribution, was joined by Jeff Macoun, President and Chief Operating Officer, Canada and Steve Marino, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Management. Jeff provided an overview of how we’ve done in 2020 so far and what we can expect moving forward. Looking back, strong Canadian earnings in Q2 puts us ahead of last year by 8%, and as Jeff mentioned, ranks us #1 YTD in life insurance sales as measured by LIMRA. Going forward, we were reminded that everything we do is grounded in our purpose—to improve the financial, physical and mental well being of all Canadians. Through well-designed solutions like our new mutual fund shelf, new digital tools for our customers like SimpleProtect and introducing dedicated leadership to both wealth and insurance distribution, listeners were assured that we’re well-positioned for growth and success as we enter Q4. Following Jeff, Steve provided a Real Estate Fund update.
