National Bank Presents “Operation Retirement” Information Sessions
Montreal, 26 September 2007 - National Bank is pleased to announce that it will be holding “Operation Retirement” information sessions from October 2 to 12, 2007 in several cities throughout central and eastern Canada. The goal of these sessions is to help clients better plan for their retirement by offering them investment solutions as well as an integrated approach that brings together all the resources available at National Bank.
Almost 10 million Canadians, i.e., 25% of the total population, are baby boomers and are starting to think seriously about retirement. Recent economic studies show that more than 75% of people between 50 and 65 are in a transition period and are looking to change financial advisors.
“Based on our experience, we feel that many people nearing retirement could be better prepared for their golden years,” noted Pierre Desbiens, Senior Vice-President – Sales and Personal Banking at National Bank.
How will they manage to keep up their standard of living when we know that one in two workers does not contribute to an RRSP or a pension plan? National Bank has the necessary expertise to advise clients, answer all their questions and reassure them in their financial choices during this transition period.
