Wealth Wisdom Podcast

ESG investing has been growing in popularity over the last number of years. However, there still tend to be a number of misconceptions about this trend.

To break down what ESG investing is all about, we invited Jeff Chan, CI Global Asset Management's Director of ESG, to join us on this latest episode of the Wealth Wisdom Podcast. Jeff was incredibly thoughtful in his explanations related to ESG, touching on a number of topics, including...

• The impacts of ESG investing

• What exactly are these assets?

On the latest episode of the Wealth Wisdom podcast, we divert away from finance and focus on something we all need: a good night's sleep.

Even though you might think you're sleeping properly, often, that's not the case. I talk about my personal experience with that in this conversation with Dr. Glenn Landry, sleep expert from Elite Sleep.

Back in the pre-COVID days (remember those?) we hosted packed to capacity "Sleepy Dinners" with Glenn as the speaker. We always received rave reviews on these thanks to Glenn's innate ability to communicate information about the importance of sleep to his audience. Some of you can attest to this 🙂

This podcast is a taster of what our Sleepy Dinners are about and what Glenn does for his clients. We hope you find some valuable takeaways from this conversation. I certainly felt that way by responding with "Wow!" every time Glenn answered a question.

Although never the sexiest topic, the federal budget is something that affects all Canadians.

I was joined by Cheryl Norton, CI Assante Private Client's Regional Vice-President of Wealth Planning and Bryan Hubbell, Manning Elliott's tax specialist, to break down the most interesting and impactful announcements from the federal budget.

Here are some of the highlights from the episode. 

• Notable "no-shows" in the budget, and why that's a good thing (2:30)

I'm often asked by clients, "what's driving the real estate market right now?"

Those questions have only escalated during a hectic 2021 in the Lower Mainland real estate market. To answer some of those questions, we welcome Vancouver real estate expert Steve Saretsky to the Wealth Wisdom Podcast.
