Tom Hockin will retire in October after 11 years as president of the Investment Funds Institute of Canada, the mutual fund industry trade group announced yesterday. "When I turned 65 two years ago, I told the board I would stay on for two more years if they wished," Mr. Hockin said in a statement. "I am now setting the date for my retirement to allow the board ample time to search for a replacement." Mr. Hockin was a minister in the Conservative federal government of Brian Mulroney, including terms as Minister of State for Finance and Minister of International Trade. He also had an academic career as a professor of business administration and law at the University of Western Ontario, and headmaster at St. Andrew's College in Aurora, Ont.
