The Retirement Clinic-6-29-24 – Retirement Finances

Financial technology, or Fintech, in Canada has traditionally trailed behind the U.S. by nearly a decade. Until recently, even basic processes like virtual onboarding were rare in Canada, where advisors and clients often dealt with stacks of paper for signatures and mailed-off documents. But a global pandemic has accelerated change, bringing digital solutions and smartphone-driven client experiences to the forefront. &nbsp; In this episode of Global Thinking, Rob sits down with Oliver Yoon, Head of Harness Investment Management, to explore the rapidly evolving Canadian Fintech landscape. Together, they discuss Oliver's extensive experience in finance, Harness’s mission to empower advisors with independent investment solutions, and how technology is transforming client interactions.

Global Thinking Vibecession with Keith Dicker

In this episode Rob joins Forstrong CEO and Chief Investment Officer, Tyler Mordy, to unpack the defining moments of 2024 and the forces shaping 2025. The past year was further evidence we are not in a traditional economic cycle. In the face of elevated volatility, geopolitical tensions, and a charged political landscape markets powered higher. Yet, amidst the chaos, two themes stood tall: the commanding influence of tech giants and the unexpected resilience of global economic growth.  Fast forward to 2025, and the drama continues—think Netflix-worthy twists. Trump 2.0 is shaking up the global order, reviving tariffs and hinting at economic annexation with Canada in the crosshairs. Meanwhile, Canada faces a leadership vacuum, a declared “productivity emergency”, and interest rate cuts that seem to be losing their punch. South of the border, U.S. equity valuations are flirting with new records as rate cuts may be postponed and government spending finally tightens. Globally, the stakes are just as high. China’s deflationary concerns are sending shockwaves through markets, while Europe grapples with pivotal elections that could redefine its economic trajectory.&nbsp;  This episode delivers sharp insights into these unfolding narratives, offering investors a lens to navigate a year where resilience and rivalry go hand in hand. &nbsp; Chapters 00:00 2024 Review: A Year of Volatility 15:05 2025 Outlook: Key Themes and Trends 17:26 Political Landscape: Elections and Economic Policies 22:07 Trump 2.0: Implications for Canada and Global Trade 28:06 Global Economic Dynamics and the Role of the U.S. 30:28 Canada's Economic Challenges and Opportunities 32:15 The Impact of Interest Rates on Economic Growth 36:00 China's Economic Policy and Global Implications 42:04 Reflections: Documentaries and Personal Insights &nbsp;  Disclosures:&nbsp;   Global Thinking Podcast Series -&nbsp;   Global Thinking Insights -&nbsp;   Who is Forstrong Global -&nbsp;   Ask Forstrong -&nbsp;   Invest With Us - &nbsp;
