    "AdvisorInc offers a truly integrated approach to wealth planning that
allows advisors to see the big picture of their clients' finances along with
insights on generational attributes and values," said Peter Intraligi,
President and Chief Operating Officer of Invesco Trimark. "Designed to give
advisors an edge over the long term, the program emphasizes relationship
building and communicating with new and existing clients in ways that
resonate."
    To establish the program's parameters and assist advisors in
understanding and interacting more effectively with their clients, Invesco
Trimark sponsored the seventh-annual Advisor's Edge 2008 Dollars and Sense
Survey of more than 1,000 Canadian investors and advisors. The survey revealed
that advisors today can be faced with a client base that spans as many as four
generations. Distinctions between age cohorts range from people's ability to
save money to their preferred method of communication. In addition to these
findings, a client's financial phase - whether accumulation, transition or
retirement - can also influence such areas as their openness to risk and
appetite for certain investment solutions.
