Who can forget Sally Field’s acceptance speech at the Oscars in 1985?  

The Canadian mutual industry has taken a page from Sally’s delivery.  As Jonathan Chevreau points out in his blog today, the Lipper annual awards gala held in Toronto this week was a real love-in.  “We like us. We really like us” was the not so subtle theme.

Some people tell me I’m too hard on the Canadian wealth management industry when I describe it as “fat and flabby”.   They may change their mind after they read Jonathan’s posting on the Lipper Fund Awards.

Enjoy.
