Is Canada’s Bold Mortgage Reform Really for First-Time Buyers?
The Government of Canada (GoC) recently introduced new mortgage reform aimed at first-time buyers, but it's left many scratching their heads. A core element of this reform is allowing first-time buyers to qualify for government-backed, high-leverage loans on homes valued at up to $1.5 million. At first glance, this might sound like a move to increase housing accessibility, but a closer look reveals deeper concerns about who this really benefits—and what it says about Canada's housing market…

Toronto Real Estate: RBC’s Mortgage Delinquencies Are a Growing Concern
Toronto’s real estate market has been a point of pride for many, with steady growth and stable property values. However, recent data suggests that things are taking a darker turn. RBC, Canada's largest bank, is experiencing a surge in mortgage delinquencies within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Canada’s Housing Market Faces Critical Supply Shortages
In the first half of 2024, Canada’s housing market experienced a notable increase in construction activity. According to the latest Housing Supply Report (HSR) from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), housing starts in the country’s six largest census metropolitan areas (CMAs) grew by 4% compared to the same period in 2023. Despite this increase, Canada continues to face a critical housing supply shortage as population growth rapidly outpaces new construction, causing affordability issues to remain at the forefront of concerns…

Canadian Real Estate Faces Deepening Slump: A Wake-Up Call for Investors
The Canadian real estate market is unravelling faster than anticipated, defying the once-hopeful projections that interest rate cuts would stabilize prices and invigorate demand. Recent data from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) reveals a troubling scenario: in August, the composite benchmark home price fell again amid weaker demand and rising supply. The anticipated boost from rate cuts has proven elusive, and the outlook has turned bleaker as economic uncertainty grows and the labour market shows signs of strain…

Gold’s Essential Role in Protecting Wealth Amid Global Financial Realignments
The global financial landscape is shifting rapidly, with geopolitical events and economic policies disrupting traditional investments. As nations reevaluate their reliance on the U.S. dollar and look to secure their future in an uncertain world, investors must take a step back and reassess the foundations of their wealth. Gold, a proven asset for millennia, has resurfaced as the cornerstone for safeguarding wealth in these tumultuous times…
The Negative Impact of Net Zero on Growth and Prosperity
Canada, a country rich in natural resources, has long relied on its vast reserves of oil, gas, minerals, and forestry products to fuel its economy. These industries have been the backbone of national prosperity, providing jobs, strengthening the Canadian dollar, and securing Canada's position on the global economic stage. However, the nation’s aggressive push toward Net Zero policies is now threatening the very industries that have driven its success…

Gold Prices Surge as Central Banks Fuel Demand: Is It Time for Investors to Follow Suit?
Gold has long been recognized as a cornerstone of financial security, particularly in turbulent times. As the metal hovers near all-time highs, financial experts are urging investors to rethink their approach. The demand for gold is not being driven by retail investors alone; instead, central banks are making significant moves to increase their gold reserves. This shift in buying patterns provides critical insights for investors navigating today's uncertain economic landscape…

The Rise of Alternatives in Uncertain Markets
In today's unpredictable economic environment, alternative investments are gaining attention as critical components of a diversified portfolio. According to forecasts from Preqin, the private equity sector is expected to dominate the alternatives market, with assets under management (AUM) set to grow from $5.8 trillion at the end of 2023 to an impressive $12 trillion by 2029. This growth, at an annualized rate of 12.8%, is anticipated to position private equity at around 6% of both public and private equity markets by the end of 2024…

The Custodial Model: An Additional Layer of Protection
In light of the revelations in David Rogers Webb's book The Great Taking , to further safeguard wealth, the firms I work with employ a custodial model, where client assets are held securely by an independent third-party custodian rather than commingled with the firm's assets. This crucial segregation of assets provides an additional layer of protection, reducing the risk of seizure or misappropriation in a financial crisis or institutional insolvency. The custodial model offers investors a safeguarded solution to help secure their wealth separately from the investment management firm.
