How You Can Beat Inflation + Get Better Sleep

SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT

Security. Purpose. Legacy

February 1, 2019

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are off to a great start in 2019. Rose Mary and I have been back for a month now from our winter vacation and settled back into our routines. Our Chinese neighbours will be celebrating the Lunar New Year on Feb 5, so Gung Hey Fat Choy! We can expect to see lots of festivities over the next couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, things are rolling along at our office where we are continuing our integrated retirement planning meetings with our clients and preparing to conduct more seminars. Due to popular demand, we will be offering a free estate planning and investment seminar later this month on Saturday, Feb 23. A separate RSVP invitation has been sent to your inbox 3 days ago. Please look for it.

This February newsletter will focus on Optimize Investments, where we will be examining Rising Income Investments, a component of our Successful Investing Solution (SIS) as depicted in the pyramid below.

LIVING IN FAITH - my personal reflections since the passing of my son

Our vacation in December included the family of our 'daughter-in-love', Marie. During the trip, I had an opportunity to talk with Marie about many things, especially the topics close to our hearts. Please click here to read Part 1 of what we discussed.

Sincerely,
Chad

Evidence Based Investing – globally diversified, balanced portfolio structured to reduce expenses, turnover, and minimize tax, but should grow with the market. We partner with Dimensional Fund Advisors for this component.

Rising Income Investments – blue chip securities that provide a robust, consistently rising dividend to counteract inflation. Potential candidates are Canadian financials, telecoms and utilities.

Good Night’s Sleep – fixed income holdings which are uncorrelated to equities and have low volatility to provide portfolio stability. This component can provide a steady, dependable income during prolonged bear markets.

Relative Strength – a tactical asset allocation portfolio which uses a rules-based approach to objectively assess opportunities and threats in the market. We partner with Bank of Montreal’s Global Asset Management for this component.

RISING INCOME INVESTMENTS

If you currently need $60,000 of annual income for your retirement, it would need to be $93,000 in 15 years if we experience a 3% inflation rate. That's a 55% increase in just 15 years. So how do you make your retirement savings keep up with inflation? The answer is Rising Income Investments. Click here to view our video on this subject.
