Hola....
I'm writing this monthly minute from Mexico where I've just attended a conference to help me be a better advisor.
Its always a special experience to have a conference
so far away in a completely different environment, lots of learning and a little sun as well.
However, the biggest idea I will return with is how I can continue to be a better advisor for you. For most people, they think being an advisor is about which investment choices, and what returns we are able to get you. These are things that are easy to discuss, measure and quantify. And rest assured, many hours of study go into reviewing the changing environment every year, so I can determine what is best to work with, and what provides what people need.
However, as a financial planner, the areas that have the most impact are the small steps we make in helping you to determine your bigger life priorities, and implementing and executing the plan and keeping you on track to meet those priorities. It's also the reason that so many investors underperform the markets. They have bad investor "behaviour". So, at the end of the day, here are the 3 key items that I must continue to do to help you. The investing, the product, the planning are all just ways that we help to achieve these goals.
1) Help to clarify your goals.
2) Remind you what is important and what those goals are when we hit bumps in the road.
(There are always bumps!)
3) Be the STOP SIGN between you and that BIG MISTAKE!
I look forward to continuing to do that, and working with you, your family and friends for many years to come.

Big Picture
North American bear vs bull.
With inherent volatility in the markets, how well has Canada and the US performed? Even though all of the world's financial markets are connected, they do not always move the same way at the same time. A diverse portfolio continues to be advantageous in volatile markets.
How has the last six months fared in relation to market index performance, earnings season and currency markets?

Am I fully protected from the unexpected?
Insurance. Changes are happening and it's important to determine if that may affect you. Here are a few items that must be considered.
Corporate Owned insurance: If you own a company, you may wish to ensure your insurance policy is corporately-owned before year-end.
