Edward Jones- Financial Advisor: Patrick Danis

08/28/2026

A new school year is just around the corner, and for many families that means it's time to start drawing from an RESP.

Julie Petrera, our Director of Financial Planning at Edward Jones Canada, shared some helpful perspective in The Canadian Press on the mistakes to avoid — like taking from the wrong portion of the account first, or leaving too much invested in equities too close to withdrawal time.

We work with media to share insights like these because the families we serve are asking these same questions every day. By contributing to credible publications, we help bring timely, trustworthy guidance to clients and families across Canada — not just in our own communities, but wherever these conversations are happening.

If education planning is on your mind, reach out. We're here to help.

As the school year approaches, families across the country are getting ready to tap into their registered education savings plans.

Tax season is done. Your returns are filed. Now what?

Tracey McLennan of Edward Jones highlights a common challenge for business owners: tax season often focuses on this year's deductions and results, while the bigger picture can be overlooked.

Now is the best time to sit down with your financial advisor, align your personal and business plans, and ask the bigger questions including who else should be part of that conversation (a spouse, your kids, your senior managers).

Every business owner's situation is different. Your plan should be too.

A great financial plan doesn't happen in isolation.

In this clip, Tracey McLennan Edward Jones breaks down why the team you surround yourself with matters so much; a financial advisor, a tax advisor, and a legal advisor, all working in sync.

A key role your financial planner plays is making sure all those pieces connect. Short-term trade-offs. Long-term goals. Freedom, flexibility, legacy, whatever your business is meant to enable.

That's when the real planning begins.

Many business owners might feel that their business was supposed to give them freedom.

But when the time comes to slow down or step away, that freedom might not be there.

Tracey McLennan of Edward Jones Canada puts it perfectly in this clip from the Just Good Business podcast. The business and personal plans are running independently when they should be working together toward the same goals.

If that sounds familiar, it's worth a conversation.

I wanted to share an article featuring Julie Petrera, Director of Financial Planning at Edward Jones Canada, on the topic of Canadians struggling with retirement despite continuing to save.

People are saving, but they're uncertain about whether they're on the right track. This is where I can help.

I can work with you to develop an RRSP or retirement plan that prioritizes what matters most to you and adapts as your life changes.

If you’d like to talk through what this could look like for you, I’d be happy to connect.

The transition from earning a paycheque to drawing from investments represents a significant shift. A structured financial plan can help transform uncertainty into clarity through a process that evolves with your life.

Effective retirement planning addresses multiple priorities:

• Housing decisions
• Travel goals
• Family support
• Preparing for unexpected costs

Regular reviews, at least annually or when circumstances change, ensure your plan reflects what's most important to you now.

This approach helps you prepare for milestones, curveballs, and cannonballs: the planned transitions, unexpected challenges, and major life events that require thoughtful reassessment. The result is confidence that your current spending and future goals can align.

At the end of the day, retirement income planning is about what your plan can enable, not what it will limit.

Let's build a retirement plan that supports what matters most to you. Reach out today to start the conversation.

Markets are showing us exactly why diversification matters.

While headlines focus on the S&P 500's pause, the real story is happening elsewhere:

• Canadian stocks up on the strength of energy and materials
• Overseas developed markets performing well, helped by expansionary fiscal and looser monetary policies
• Emerging market stocks continue to deliver gains on the back of its large tech sector
• Bonds delivered positive total returns as interest rates drifted lower, benefiting investors on both income and price appreciation.

This market rotation underscores a crucial principle: different sectors and regions lead at different times.

For clients navigating today's environment, I'm focused on three priorities:

1. Revisiting goals to ensure investments align with what matters most
2. Maintaining strategic diversification across asset classes and geographies
3. Viewing volatility as an opportunity to strengthen portfolios

The fundamental backdrop remains constructive with corporate earnings growth and steady economic momentum.

A disciplined, goal-focused strategy positions portfolios to weather uncertainty and capture opportunities as market leadership evolves.
