Guest Speaker Jorge Ramos, CFP, CLU, Certified Financial Educator Customized Performance Benchmarking Just because many of you are managing your own portfolios doesn't mean that they shouldn't be tracking their performance in relation to some benchmark. Using a generic, off-the-shelf benchmark may not accurately mirror their portfolio and therefore be a poor basis for comparison. I will show them how to design a benchmark that most closely resembles their investment portfolio. 4. Stock Review A) Dollarama - Eckhard B) Maple Leaf Foods – Volunteer Needed 5.
