23 November 2021 - 8:01AM
AGF Management Limited announced today its investment management
business, AGF Investments Inc., (together, “AGF”), has reached a
definitive agreement with PFSL Investments Canada Ltd. (“PFSL”),
regarding the establishment of a new multi-year product and
services distribution arrangement.
As of the date hereof, AGF has been named as one
of only two asset management firms set to initially launch on
PFSL’s evolving distribution platform, solidifying AGF’s ongoing
relationship with the firm.
“At AGF, we have always been committed to
putting our clients first, positioning ourselves for mutual
success, and supporting the evolution of our strategic partners as
they adapt to changes in the market,” said Judy Goldring, President
and Head of Global Distribution, AGF. “Given our long-standing
partnership with PFSL, we are excited to continue supporting them
through the offering of new products uniquely designed to deliver
our investment capabilities in a structure that meets the needs of
their clients.”
AGF and PFSL have been working together since
1996 to help investors achieve their financial goals. Under this
new distribution arrangement AGF intends to deliver a new line-up
of mutual funds that will be offered exclusively to PFSL clients in
2022. The new funds are subject to regulatory approval.
Over the tenure of the relationship, AGF has
continually strengthened the partnership by delivering new and
enhanced investment and technology capabilities with the goal of
automating and improving the client and advisor experience and
supporting back office operations. AGF continues to evolve its
technological capabilities with new features, services, and
enhancements that will be an integral part of PFSL’s servicing
model going forward.
“The right product line-up combined with
effective use of technology and a focus on continual digital
transformation have been key to the success of our partnership with
PFSL,” said Chris Jackson, Chief Operating Officer, AGF. “We look
forward to continuing our partnership for many years to come.”
