Mutual funds are an amalgamation of publicly traded stocks. For example, 2% of Bell Canada, 3% of Royal Bank, 1% of Air Canada, etc.
The capital is never guaranteed. The higher the expected gain of the fund, the greater the risk of a decrease in capital. However, the volatility of a fund is generally lower than that of each of its constituent stocks.
There are Canadian, American, global, specific sector, small and large capitalization funds.
- How to choose among these thousands of funds? We start by understanding your investment objectives, we establish your tolerance for risk and beyond, we constitute one or more portfolios accordingly. Next, we present you the historical returns associated with similar portfolios.
Remember that mutual funds are not guaranteed and their market value fluctuates with the markets.
A segregated fund is a mutual fund to which insurance against loss of capital has been grafted. For example, if you die in two years, your heirs will at least regain your initial investment, even if the fund has decreased in value. A stock market guarantee is also very common. This is a guarantee that the value of the amount after a period of time (for example at the age of 65, or after 10 years) cannot be less than the capital initially invested.
The segregated fund is considered an insurance product because of the collateral associated with it. It is only at maturity and in the event of death that the capital guarantee applies.
The GIC is the safest form of investment because the capital is guaranteed. Unfortunately the yield is generally low. Currently, it is around 1% on an annual basis.
- There are several types of GICs, fixed return, variable return, simple interest, compound interest, redeemable or non-redeemable investment. In any case, you are guaranteed to get back your invested capital, but the return will generally be very low!
The leveraged loan consists in contracting a loan and investing the amount received on the markets. This strategy works when the return earned after tax is greater than the cost of borrowing (loan rate). However, this approach is not suitable for many people, as it involves owning a portfolio made up of 100% growth stocks. Before increasing his risk through leverage, the investor should consider whether he would be able to repay his loan in the event that the markets experience a sharp period of decline as in 2008.
The risk associated with the use of leverage is therefore higher than that taken by an investor who uses only the cash at his disposal.
Borrowing to invest is not suitable for everyone. You should be fully aware of the risks and benefits associated with using borrowed money to invest since losses as well as gains may be magnified.

The Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is designed to help parents and others accumulate savings for the long-term financial security of a person with a disability.
- To be eligible for the RDSP, a person must benefit from the disability tax credit. Only a doctor qualified in this field can attest to this by signing the T2201 form.

Contributions to an RDSP are not tax deductible. However, the Canadian government may pay the beneficiary's (disabled person's) RDSP an amount ranging from 100% to 300% depending on the contribution made and the beneficiary's family income.
An RDSP can receive, as a grant, over the course of a year, up to a maximum of $ 3,500. The lifetime grant limit is $ 70,000. A grant can be made into an RDSP for a contribution made to the beneficiary's RDSP until December 31 of the year the beneficiary turns 49.
