Your participation in the This week with Canada Life call gives us the opportunity to provide you an update on continuing to do business in the current environment, global market commentary and to answer your questions.

Your call recap
This week, Mike Cunneen, Senior Vice-President, Insurance and Independent Distribution, was joined by Ron Hanson, President, GLC Asset Management Group and Brent Joyce, Chief Investment Strategist, GLC Asset Management Group. Ron and Brent helped put into perspective what is yet to come. While positive data is being recorded, it’s a result of government intervention. They acknowledged that eventually this will come to an end and our economy will need to continue to recover without this support looking into 2021. A reminder that investing is a marathon, not a sprint serves well to stay focused on long-term goals.

Carol Neuss, Assistant Vice-President and Chief Underwriter shared recent changes to underwriting including updates made to the travel guidelines, reducing the waiting period for international travel.
