The burden of proof shifts back to AI skeptics. NVIDIA's earnings reinforced that AI demand and spending remain robust, with customer demand continuing to outpace supply and little evidence that the AI investment cycle is nearing an end.

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.

Keeping up with the markets takes time, research, and ongoing attention.

Most mutual funds give you access to professional investment expertise. Experienced portfolio managers actively manage the fund by researching opportunities, adjusting the portfolio as markets change, and making investment decisions on your behalf.

You also have the confidence of knowing exactly what you own, with fund holdings available through regular reporting and the fund's prospectus.

When it comes to your pension, the decision often comes down to one thing, do you prioritize predictable lifetime income or control and flexibility?

Staying in a defined benefit pension provides income based on the plan rules and removes the need to manage investments yourself.

Taking the commuted value gives you more control over your capital, flexibility in how withdrawals are planned within limits, and opportunities for estate planning. It also means taking responsibility for investment outcomes.

The suitable choice depends on your comfort with investment risk, your other retirement income, and what you want your plan to look like long term.

If you’re weighing these options, I’m happy to talk it through with you.

When you retire or change employers, you may face a significant financial decision: Should you stay in your pension plan, or transfer the assets to accounts under your control?www.edwardjones.ca/ca-en

You may have heard of active investing and passive investing. But what's the difference?

Active investing means that your investments are managed by professionals who research and select investments with the goal of outperforming an index. While there's no guarantee of better performance, this can offer greater potential for returns and reduced risk.

Passive investing aims to match the performance of a market index. Your investment typically rises and falls with the market and comes with lower fees.

The good news? You don't have to choose just one approach.

Many well-diversified portfolios include a mix of active and passive investments. The right balance depends on your financial goals, time horizon, and comfort with risk.

Wondering which approach makes sense for you? Let's connect and build an investment strategy that fits your goals.

Learn about the similarities and differences between these two popular investment styles.

For many Government of Canada employees, choosing between staying in a defined benefit pension and taking the commuted value is one of the most consequential financial decisions you’ll face as you approach retirement or a career transition.

There’s no universal answer. Your health, tax position, risk tolerance, estate goals, and the specific details of the federal public service pension plan all play a critical role in determining the right path forward.

I’ve outlined some key factors that should guide this decision. Understanding how each one applies to your circumstances is essential to making a confident, well informed choice.

If this decision is on your horizon, I work with federal government employees to evaluate their options and align pension decisions with their long term retirement vision.
