At Desjardins Financial Security Life Assurance Company (DFS), we regularly review all our investment and insurance products. Accordingly, DFS has decided to stop opening new contracts for Helios2 guaranteed investment funds, effective
March 31, 2026, at 4 p.m. (ET).
Networks already distributing Helios2 guaranteed investment fund product will be able to continue doing so until March 31, 2026. Subsequently, other existing Desjardins investment solutions will be available to adequately meet clients’ needs that were previously addressed by this product.
Putting clients at the center of our decisions
In line with our ongoing commitment to supporting the clients in achieving their ambitions, we will continue to administer existing contracts to maturity. Consequently, this decision will have no impact on current contract owners as they will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the product, with no change in the quality of service offered.
To make it truly easy to do business with us
This strategic decision will simplify our offer and meet the current expectations of clients effectively, while strengthening our position in wealth management. Streamlining our product offer will make it easier to provide recommendations and advice. Advisors will benefit from a more accessible and intuitive offer and find it easier to steer clients toward products that meet their needs. Ultimately, this will give clients a more seamless experience with clearer choices for the right solutions.
