Senior Investment Advisor & Portfolio Manager at BMO Nesbitt Burns, Kingston, ON

As a licensed Portfolio Manager and Senior Investment Advisor, I offer portfolio management services on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis to a clientele looking for an intelligent, well researched, personalized and diligent approach to money management. By avoiding complex pre-packaged investment products with layers of opaque embedded fees, I gain a better understanding of the risk and opportunities in my clients' portfolios, I can structure portfolios as tax-efficiently as possible for each individual client's own situation, and I can charge a fair and transparent fee. For an overview of my investment approach and philosophy as well as the pricing structure for my services, visit my website at www.annedesgagnes.com

Last month, we were pleased to welcome our colleague Carol Willes, Director of Estate Planning at BMO, as a speaker at our team’s seminar on “Myths and Mistakes in Estate Planning”. Carol’s presentation sparked plenty of interest, and now the conversation continues with Yourtv Kingston!

In Part 1, Carol discusses the importance of having a will and the risks of putting it off. Please access the video here:

I took the opportunity to stop in yesterday at Breast Imaging Kingston's meet and greet, hosted for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I was welcomed by Dr. Doris Jabs, Rose of Hope Clinical Chair in Breast Health, and some of the other ladies of Breast Imaging Kingston. I also had a tour of the brand-new MRI and how it is being used. Dr. Jabs also gave us a great review of the screening protocol in place to enhance early detection.

Women facing a breast cancer diagnosis, or the fear of a potential diagnosis, and who require an MRI, are going through a very stressful event. Having to go to a hospital setting with all the additional stressors involved to get their MRI done just compounds their stress level which is understandably high. As of October 5th, women in our community who require such an MRI can now have it done in the welcoming, calming, and non-hospital setting of Breast Imaging Kingston.

I was reminded during this tour yesterday how lucky the women of our community and the people who love them are. Big thumbs up to the Rose of Hope ladies whose relentless efforts over many years have made this possible.

In a back-and-forth week, most major financial markets ended little-changed on net, albeit only after the S&P 500 hit a new record, and bond yields visited fresh 24-year highs.

My colleague Will Hunter and I hosted a small work function and had the event catered by Rampant Kitchen. The food cooked by Chef Elisa Corrigan was delicious. This was a seamless process and all our guests raved about the food. Huge success. I love when I discover new amazing local small businesses.

We had a great afternoon of learning and conversation at our "Your Estate: Myth Busting & Mistakes" event yesterday.
Many thanks to our fantastic and very engaging guest speakers, Carol Willes, Estate Lawyer and Director of Estate Services at BMO, and Meghan Davis from Estate Tax Services Kingston. Their wealth of knowledge and approachable presentation style led to great questions and engaged conversation from the participants. Everyone left with several actionable ideas to implement in their own estate plans. Great event!

Higher oil prices equal higher interest rates, all else equal. That old adage has truly come back with a bite in recent weeks.
