Here is a complete, step-by-step descriptive procedure for calculating your numbers for the GFS 2026 Travel Contest Qualification, as described in the sources:
Step 1: Calculation for insurance of persons
This step takes place on the Centralize platform.
- Open Centralize and select the PRODUCTION tab.
- Configure the search parameters as follows:
- Conclusion date: From 01/01/2026 to 31/12/2026.
- Coverage Status: Must be COMMISSIONABLE.
- Producer: Select your name.
- Locate the $COMM column and scroll down to the total displayed at the bottom of the column.
- Calculating points: Multiply the total amount of commissions by 2.5 points (Example: $65,385 x 2.5 = 163,463 points).
Step 2: Extraction of data for investments (Viefund)
This step is for mutual funds and segregated funds on the Viefund platform.
- Open your Viefund platform (Mutual Fund or Segregated Fund).
- Go to the SEARCH section and select TRANSACTION.
- Change the date range for the period from 2025-01-01 to 2025-12-31.
- Click on ACTIVITY SUMMARY, then confirm by clicking OK.
- Downloading and Preparation:
- Download the Excel file (often compressed in .zip format).
- Important: You must unzip the file from its compressed folder before continuing.
- Import into Excel:
- Open Excel, go to the DATA tab, and then select FROM TEXT/CSV FILE.
- Select the file named ACTIVITY BY REP CODE that you just unzipped and click LOAD.
Step 3: Calculation of points for investments and final total
- In your imported Excel file, locate the AMOUNT column.
- Calculating investment points: Multiply the total amount in this column by 2% (Example: $723,243 x 2% = 14,465 points).
- Calculation of the grand total: Add the points obtained for life and health insurance and those obtained for investments (mutual funds and/or segregated funds) to obtain your final score for the contest.
NB: an Excel file is provided, in which the total score is calculated, once you have provided the 3 numbers (insurance commissions, segregated fund investments, mutual fund investments).
