Is the boom coming with a price tag? Listen to the latest episode of The Living Market for the answer.

Two years ago, incoming U.S. Federal Reserve chair Kevin Warsh warned that central banks were getting too comfortable with higher inflation and called it very dangerous. Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist at IG Wealth Management, explains why that warning looks prescient today. With most central banks worldwide running above their inflation targets, and bond yields climbing, the boom in labour markets and asset prices is coming with a cost. The question is how central banks respond, and whether markets are ready for that answer.

Wealth means different things to different people. For some, it’s financial independence. For others, it’s peace of mind, flexibility, or the confidence to support what matters most. The definition is personal, the planning should be too.

“Having enough” is not a number, it's a strategy. If you have accumulated meaningful capital but still question long-term sustainability, the issue may not be assets. It may be structure.

Affluent retirees often accumulate significant assets yet remain uncertain about sustainability. The concern is rarely about wealth alone. It is about clarity.

Confidence comes from understanding income durability, tax exposure, healthcare contingencies, and estate implications under multiple scenarios.

A comprehensive retirement plan starts with a conversation. Contact us via our website: https://www.daumlermertzwealth.ca/

Lessons from 100 years of investing: listen now!

This year, IG Wealth Management celebrates 100 years of helping Canadians invest through everything markets can deliver. Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist at IG Wealth Management, takes us through a century of market history; from the 1929 crash to the dot-com boom, the 2008 crisis and pandemic shock. He reveals a surprising pattern: while the triggers change, the rhythm stays remarkably consistent. Excess leads to stress, followed by policy response and recovery. Philip explains why the core building blocks of investing haven't fundamentally changed and shares the real lesson from a century of markets: success isn't about predicting the future perfectly, it's about preparing for it consistently.

Policy changes don’t just impact “the system,” they can influence the structure of your financial plan.

Yesterday's federal update includes:
• Lower CPP contribution rates beginning in 2027
• Greater flexibility for first-time home buyers using RRSP funds
• Expanded tax deductions and training support for skilled trades
• New opportunities for business succession through employee ownership

Individually, these may seem incremental. Together, they can affect cash flow, tax efficiency, and long-term strategy.

This is where coordinated planning turns information into opportunity and we're here to help you implement strategies to stay ahead of these announcements.

On November 4, François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue, presented Canada’s 2025 federal budget. Here is a summary of the most relevant proposals that may impact Canadians.
