Much of the time, investing involves an element of uncertainty. That’s why sometimes, it helps to know exactly what you can expect.

Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) offer a fixed interest rate for a set term, so you'll know your return from the start. Eligible GICs are also insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) for up to $100,000 per insured category, making them a straightforward, lower-risk investment option.

Whether you're saving toward a specific goal, preserving capital, or adding stability to your portfolio, GICs can boost your confidence in uncertain markets.

Interested in building some stability into your portfolio?

Please book an appointment and we can discuss GICs and other fixed-income options.

These investments are important in any portfolio mix because they offer a steady income stream.

A well-designed portfolio is more than a collection of investments. It's built around a clearly defined portfolio objective that guides how your investments are managed over time.

That objective is shaped by two important factors: where you are in life and how much investment risk you're comfortable taking.

For someone in the early stages of investing with a higher tolerance for risk, a growth-focused objective might be appropriate. For someone closer to retirement, a focus on income or preserving wealth may be a higher priority.

The result is an investment strategy designed to support the future you’re building, while considering your unique financial situation and your comfort with risk.

Is your portfolio working toward the right objective? Let's review your investment strategy and ensure it’s aligned to your long-term goals.

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.

Our colleague Julie Petrera, Director of Financial Planning at Edward Jones Canada, recently spoke with The Canadian Press about the RESP withdrawal mistakes families make as the school year approaches.

Why does this matter to us? Because RESPs are one of the most important tools Canadian families use to invest in their children's education, and the decisions around withdrawals can have a real impact on taxes, growth, and whether the money is there when it's needed.

We share our insights with credible media because we want to meet families where they are — with topical, practical guidance they can trust. Articles like this one help us extend our reach beyond our offices and into the homes of families across Canada who are navigating these moments for the first time.

Have a look, and if you're working through an RESP withdrawal, let's talk.

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.

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.

Every dollar raised goes directly to advancing cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation.

Proud to be part of an organization that rallies together in support of a cause that impacts so many families.
