(NC) Education is the first step towards financial well-being. That's why Canada's financial literacy leader Jane Rooney is calling on investors to take a careful look at two new annual reports that they will receive beginning this year that contain details about investment performance and fees.

“The investment funds industry is taking positive steps to ensure that Canadians develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to become informed and capable investors,” says Rooney. “I believe that knowledge helps Canadians to make responsible financial decisions and ultimately, to be able to secure a sound financial future for themselves and their families.”

Ms. Rooney encourages Canadians to open their new reports and learn more about their investments in a short awareness video. View the video and find more information online at ific.ca.
