Rate cuts are good news — but act thoughtfully
With the Bank of Canada cutting rates from 5.00% to 2.75%, mortgage borrowers are seeing relief. But falling rates also mean GIC and savings yields are dropping, making a diversified strategy more important than ever.
Inflation near target — but don't ignore long-term erosion
CPI is back near 2%, which is positive for retirees. But over 25 years, even 2% inflation cuts purchasing power by roughly 40%. Your retirement income plan needs to account for this, not just today's numbers.
Stay invested — time in the market beats timing the market
Despite ongoing volatility, diversified portfolios have rewarded patient investors over every long-term period. Missing the 10 best market days in a decade can cut returns in half. Consistency wins.
A weaker Canadian dollar has real effects on your portfolio
A lower CAD boosts the Canadian-dollar returns of US-denominated investments — but it also raises the cost of imported goods and travel. For investors holding global funds, currency exposure is worth reviewing with your advisor.
