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.

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.

The latest episode of The Living Market Podcast is out now: Economy and earnings looking sturdier than market suggests.

Headlines make corrections feel like collapses, but what does the data actually show? Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist at IG Wealth Management, separates market mood from underlying reality. He explores how falling stock prices in the face of rising profit expectations create a better setup, shares surprising strength from major airlines reporting their best booking weeks ever and explains why the economy looks sturdier than investor sentiment suggests heading into earnings season.

The housing market today is fundamentally different than it was just a few years ago.

Interest rates, affordability, and supply dynamics have reshaped how you need to think about homeownership, mortgage renewals, and real estate investing.

The key question is no longer just “what rate can I get?” it’s “how does this decision fit into my overall financial plan?”
