Physicians are investigating pension plans - they need to do their due diligence on Specified Multi-Employer Pension Plan (SMEPP)

**** Disclosure***** Myself (Vu Kiet Tran) and Mr. Jean-Pierre Laporte are co-founders of the Canadian Physicians' Pension Plan.   Over the last 2-3 years, several pension plans for physicians have come onto the Canadian market. Physicians are now more concerned with their retirement and financial wellness (and they should be), especially with the most recent announcement by the federal government that increased the inclusion rate on Capital Gains. Physicians are starting to understand the financial impact of this new change and are looking for solutions. They are now being marketed on the Specified Multi-Employer Pension Plan (SMEPP). Physicians need to know what this pension plan is about. Physicians need to do their due diligence.   To leave me comments or feedback, please email me at hmfhd2020@gmail.com   To visit the Code Green Financial Fluency conference for Feb 15th, 2025, please visit  www.codegreenfinancial.com
