Unlock Alpha: A Deep Dive into Alternative Investments & Hedge Funds - CSC & CIRO Exam Prep
Stuck on Chapter 20 of the Canadian Securities Course? Confused by terms like "liquid alts," "absolute return," and "high-water mark"? In this game-changing episode of Money Talks, we demystify the complex world of Alternative Investments.
Financial professional Jonathan Cartier joins us to break down everything you need to know, whether you're a retail investor looking to diversify beyond the TSX or a student preparing to ace your CSC or upcoming CIRO exam. We go beyond theory with real-world examples from Canadian firms like Onex and major banks (RBC, BMO, CIBC, TD), explaining how these strategies perform in today's "reset mode" economy.
This isn't just another lecture—it's an immersive, conversational guide to mastering one of the most challenging topics in Canadian finance.
