Reveal Financial

Reveal Financial Revealing the true "hidden" costs of investing while offering a less expensive, more effective alternative to conventional firms and advisors. We are different.

Most people don't have the time, education, or confidence to secure their financial futures by themselves. They often look to the finance industry for help, which, by its very nature - receiving kickbacks/commissions from selling products - often puts its own needs ahead of the client's. What Makes Us Different? We do not sell products or are affiliated with any financial institution. We do not r

ecommend products based on financial kickbacks or charge hidden fees. You are always in control of your own money and will never open an account with us. Did you know that mutual funds can cost you $100,000s in fees and lost opportunities? Talk to us about our free educational presentation where we will show you the unnecessary, and many times, hidden, and life changing costs of mutual funds.

Get ready for higher interest rates! Yes, this means for both mortgages and GICs. The government of Canada 5 year bond yield which always leads these rates has exploded recently and with today's announcement from the Bank of Canada that they are expecting inflation to be at 5% towards the end of the year, you should see these consumer rates rise within the next month. Bond rates are now higher than pre-pandemic.

Bottom line is: If you have to renew a mortgage, do it now! If you have GICs to reinvest, wait a bit longer for GIC rates to rise and catch up to their bond counterparts.

As you may have heard the Government recently raised the limit of TFSAs from $5,500 to $10,000. Now that the dust has settled I thought I would share: This change impacts 2015 contributions, so if you already put $5,500 in this year to max out your contribution you can put in another $4,500 immediately without penalty :) As a side note the government also quietly removed the inflation indexing so if nothing changes it will continue at $10,000 for the rest of your life making things simpler.

This is a great article explaining some of the changes and answering common questions regarding TFSAs:
