Mackenzie Investments launches planning resource hub

Mackenzie Financial has introduced a resource hub today called LIVE IT.

The website is designed to help advisors facilitate conservations with clients through easy-to-share resources and planning tools. It also includes details about the company’s portfolios and funds.

Before creating the hub, Mackenzie polled investors and advisors to pinpoint top client concerns, and the six main topics addressed are longevity, income preservation, volatility, estate planning, inflation and taxes.
