Terry Shields, Certificed Financial Planner and Investment Advisor with Shaunavon Credit Union, has won the Brandes Institute's 2012 Manager Challenge.

"The challenge is open to all planners and those financial investment advisors that are interested in going online and competing against each other regarding investment decisions, so it's really a test of their skills," said SCU General Manager Chuck Gartner. "It's actually open to financial planners around the world, so I look at this as a very huge accomplishment for Terry.

The Challenge is an investment strategy simulation played over a 15-year time frame, and Shields won by achieving the highest portfolio value at the close of the final period.

"It only confirms with all of our members that we have access to a great investment advisor who has world-class knowledge and skills to provide them with really good-quality effective financial advice," Gartner added.
