The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) recently made public a study surrounding investor risk, and Dr. Paul Griffin (Associate Dean of The Business School) was the co-author and the sole Canadian academic on the research team. The commissioned study has been receiving national and international recognition. The report, Current Practices for Risk Profiling in Canada and Review of Global Best Practices can be found here: osc.gov.on.ca/documents/en/Investors/iap_20151112_risk-profiling-report.pdf

Keith Costello, President and CEO of the Canadian Institute of Financial Planning (CIFP), was among the first to contribute to the accolades. “This body of research presents a long overdue examination of investor risk perception in Canada and abroad,” says Costello. “As Dr. Griffin has been a long time board member of our organization and was recently elected Vice Chair at our annual general meeting, I am delighted that we can associate ourselves with him and this important body of research.”

Paul Griffin remarked that the project’s success was due in large part to the support received from The Business School team and from Humber’s Applied Research & Innovation team.

Please join me in congratulating Paul on this major accomplishment!

Dr. Alvina Cassiani
