to Better Serve Students
Toronto, ON – June 27, 2016 – IFSE Institute, the education arm of The Investment Funds Institute of Canada (IFIC), today announced the launch of its rebranded website, IFSE.ca, to better serve students as they, in turn, work to strengthen their knowledge to better assist investors.
“IFSE is committed to delivering innovative, best-in-class financial education and superior service to the industry,” said Christina Ashmore, managing director of IFSE. “The new brand reinforces these commitments and conveys our focus on the future.”

IFSE partners with the financial services industry to offer several investment funds proficiency courses, including the Canadian Investment Funds Course and the Branch Managers’ Examination Course.
