Robert Frances, President and CEO of PEAK Financial Group, was awarded last night the prestigious Finance et Investissement’s Top Quebec Financial Industry Leaders award in the securities dealer and insurance of persons categories.

Mr. Frances is honoured to receive this award and grateful for the recognition of his leadership in PEAK’s management of the COVID-19 crisis. Moreover, the ambitious technological revolution that’s under way, the firm’s organic and financial growth and Mr. Frances’ philanthropic involvement with employees, financial advisors and the community were all contributing factors to winning this year’s award.

Despite the tragic and trying consequences of the pandemic, 2020 was a year of change and sustained growth for PEAK Financial Group. PEAK not only broke records, but also carried out a major technological innovation shift. Mr. Frances’ leadership enabled PEAK to accelerate its impressive growth despite the sharp selloff on the financial markets and the economic instability that followed.

“What’s important during a crisis like this one is to never forget the people around us. Our employees, advisors and clients were the focus of our actions and decisions throughout 2020. More than ever, we wanted to support, encourage, share, inspire and give back,” said Mr. Frances, who in the past year also co-chaired the Fight Cancer Challenge in support of the Segal Cancer Centre in Montreal.

Quebec financial industry’s Top Leaders (formerly known as the Quebec financial industry’s Top 25) are selected each winter to recognize outstanding executives and leaders in Quebec’s financial industry.
