Pathway is one of the leading providers of these tax products and have shown the greatest return on investment four out of the past five years. Steve will outline  and present how these strategies will have the greatest impact on your current tax liability.

Tax planning for the current year is often left until the end of February of the following year. Waiting until the last minute is never a good strategy because you have seriously reduced your options and will make  hasty decisions which often have negative consequences.

We at Intent Market Solutions will, in consultation with your accountant, reduce your tax load, increase your assets and protect them from erosion in the future.

What is Risk Tolerance when investing in todays Canadian Financial Markets?

If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship he would keep it in port forever – Thomas Aquinas

Risk tolerance is something that each individual investor must assess before making any investment. All investments have an element of risk. The higher the potential gain, the higher the risk. The basic question is “how much are you prepared to lose”. If the answer is “nothing”, then as Thomas Aquinas said, you will keep your ship at port forever.

There is 1.6 trillion dollars invested in Canada. Of that 1.1 trillion is currently in safe harbor, like T-bills, money market funds, GIC’s. What that says is the majority of people are risk intolerant and they are afraid of the future regarding their investments.
This fear prevents people from making an investment in the first place!

A recent study in the US determined that women make better decisions regarding risk than men do. Women ask more questions, require more information, and generally study the issues totally before making a decision. Warren Buffett has been accused of “investing like a woman”. Would that we all could be accused of investing like a woman. Warren Buffett is worth in excess of 50 billion, his investment strategy has served him well.

We sometimes don’t ask questions for fear of showing our ignorance. We don’t study the issues because we don’t know where to start!

Staying in safe harbor forever will not get you ahead. Knowing and understanding the risks gives us greater tolerance to take some risk. Diversifying the risk is the key.

The products that I have are designed to diversify and change the risk that your portfolio is subjected to.

Don’t be afraid to ask!

Canadian Exploration Expense

CEE was originally put into place in 1954 to assist and promote exploration for new natural resources in the oil, gas, and mining sectors.  It was thought that this type of investment was best placed with high income, high tax individuals.  The Federal Government has widened the rules so that all Canadians can participate in this flow thru investment.  Changes in exploration technology have made this type of investment attractive to more and more Canadians and EVERYONE should be aware of it!

Kelowna Financial Advisor - Diversification in the market

Diversification in the market is not as effective as it was 25 years ago because today when the market takes a haircut every asset class gets clipped.

A perfect example of this was the recent tsunami in Japan. It happened on Friday and when the stock markets opened on the following Monday the TSX lost 162 points in the first minute.

Every stock across the board was down with the exception of 4.

2 were even and 2 junior oil stocks were up marginally.

Why should lumber products in western Canada, for example, get hit because of a disaster in Japan?
You would think the opposite should have happened. The fact is the market reacts as a whole and the result is, there is little safety in diversification in the traditional sense.

That does not mean that opportunities do not exist right now. That does not mean that we should avoid the market now. 

What it does mean is that you have to change your exposure to the volatility. We have solutions for this very issue! If you want more information on this topic contact me.
