Happy Belated Canada Day! I hope you’re finding some time to take off this summer, or at least getting a chance to enjoy the sun we’ve all been waiting for. This month’s topic is a little less fun to talk about, but is one of the most important things you can do when managing your wealth. I am, of course,…
I hope your June is going well. It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally starting to get the summer weather we’ve been waiting for. Last month, we spent some time discussing some of the more “mainstream” asset classes. I refer to them as mainstream because stocks or bonds are accessible to almost everyone. Now, I’d like to go…
I hope this letter finds you in good health (physically and financially). Today I want to talk about public investments and how they can help you meet your goals.

Ideally, you are able to max out your contribution room in both accounts this year, but if…
Happy New Year! I hope the holidays treated you well and that you’ve managed to keep up your resolutions so far. The start of the year is the best time to assess the status of each of the different areas of your life. That also makes it a great time to assess how your investments have performed over the last…
It is no surprise that October was a terrible month for the markets. Fears of slowing growth, the looming trade wars with China, and higher interest rates sparked major volatility across the largest North American indices. The S&P 500 lost nearly 7% (which was the worst month since September 2011), the NASDAQ was down 9% (largest monthly drop since November…
