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.

Uncertainty is part of investing, but it doesn't have to dictate your decisions.

This year has been a reminder that markets often move higher long before concerns fully fade. Rather than trying to predict what's next, a diversified strategy can help you stay focused on your goals while capturing opportunities across different regions and sectors.

Now is a good time to review whether your portfolio still reflects what you're trying to achieve.

Let's talk about your goals, your current strategy and any adjustments that may be worth considering. Reach out to book an appointment.

When most people think about investing, stocks often come to mind. But fixed-income investments can play an equally important role in a well-diversified portfolio.

Investments like bonds and GICs provide interest payments at regular intervals, creating a more predictable source of income. They're issued by corporations, municipalities, and governments, and can help balance the growth-focused side of your portfolio with greater stability.

The right mix of investments always depends on your goals, time horizon, and comfort with risk. But alongside equities, fixed income often plays an important supporting role.

What role should GICs, bonds or other fixed income investments play in your portfolio? Please book an appointment and we can explore potential strategies.

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.

Whether you're just starting to invest or looking to add flexibility to an established portfolio, ETFs offer a wide range of options to suit different financial goals, risk preferences, and levels of involvement.

They also provide transparency. Before you invest, you can review the fund's objectives, risks, fees, and underlying holdings through its prospectus, helping you make more informed investment decisions.
