3 IFB 2018 Toronto Summit Presentations No job is too big, no company is too small for Fiera Capital s small cap strategy. Speaker TBA, SSQ Insurance Finding the next blue chips in Canada, this is what the Fiera Capital Small cap strategy is all about. We believe that our philosophical approach of building a portfolio stock-by stock, employing a research focused, bottom-up approach is the best method for building a portfolio that will outperform the market over the long term. We focus on companies with significant competitive advantages and superior return on equity and growth relative to industry peers. Finally we purchase companies at a discount to fair value based on our 3-year outlook. Challenges and Opportunities for Independent Advisors Moderator: Aly Dhalla, FINAEO Panelists: Scott Findlay, President & Chairman, IFB; George Biggar, Vice-Chairman, IFB; Roland Chan, CEO, Find Bob When you look at the list of challenges for independent financial advisors -- compliance, technology, succession planning -- they can just as easily be viewed as opportunities. Our panel will discuss what keeps advisors up at night, and how to turn roadblocks into opportunities. For example, is increased disclosure a burden or a chance to demonstrate to your clients the value of working with an independent advisor? Will technology drive independent advisors out of the business, or is it a tool that will allow advisors to focus on the soft skills that bring value to the advisor/client relationship? It's never been a better time to be an independent financial advisor. Join us to find out why. Update on G19 Erica Hiemstra, Assistant Vice President, Distribution, Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association The Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) developed Guideline G19, Compensation Disclosure in Group Benefits and Group Retirement Services. This is a new industry guideline that sets out standards for intermediary compensation disclosure in group business. Since its introduction, the CLHIA has conducted a series of information sessions with advisors in order to get feedback on the guideline. Ms. Hiemstra will provide an update on G19 and where things will go from here.

5 Building client wealth outside the portfolio with CRA refunds Stan Samole, Family Tax Recovery FPSC: Financial Planning 60-70% of your Clients are entitled to a CRA refund. There s 30 to 50 billion dollars of taxpayer money at the CRA. Until recently, personal tax reviews have been reserved for the highly wealthy; the cost and risk is prohibitive for most people as there s no guarantee a refund will be received. Now there is a growing group of companies that perform tax reviews on a contingency basis, meaning if there s no refund then there is no fee - making 10 year personal tax reviews available to everyone. Learn to build trust and appreciation from new and existing clients with found money that was lost forever and build wealth for your Clients outside their investment portfolios. Protect Yourself from an E&O Lawsuit Roberta Tasson, The Magnes Group Many brokers think that E&O claims are something that only ever happen to other people.

While you know exactly HOW & WHAT to do, you experience challenges with balance, complacency, delegation, fear, procrastination, qualification, rejection, stress, time and overwhelm, all of which crowd out action, confidence, commitment, consistency, energy, focus, inspiration, practices, production and vision. You are ready to increase your understanding; success is 10% about HOW & WHAT to do and 90% of success is about WHY you do what you do.
