Managed Account Program
There are a number of terms used for Managed Account Programs:
- Fund of Funds
- Mutual Fund Wraps
- Mutual Fund Advisory Programs
These types of programs have been offered by private investment firms to high net worth Canadians for decades and are now offered to average Canadians at a much lower cost of entry level.
Unlike many financial institutions that offer only one type of managed product solution, Meridian offers access to Managed Account Programs through Credential Asset Management Inc. from several leading companies – AGF, Fidelity, Northwest Ethical Funds®, Franklin Templeton, and Mackenzie.
What is a Managed Account Program?
