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.

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.
