Definitions & Resources – Not Advice
Investing is a healthy part of any good financial plan. You could be thinking about saving for your retirement, your children, your grandchildren or for that one thing you’ve been dreaming about since the day you started your first job! However, if you’re unsure about where or how to invest your money, poor financial decisions may push your financial goals farther out of reach. Understanding the basics about investing provides reassurance that we can make comfortable and rewarding decisions with our money.
In the Investment Basics webinar, you will learn how to:
- Describe common savings plans (e.g., RRSP, RESP & TFSA)
- Define basic types of investments (e.g., bonds, stocks, mutual funds and ETFs)
- Consider the impact of investment fees on your investments
- Outline various risks that come along with investing and how to reduce those risks; and
- Ask the right questions to appropriate investment professionals who can help with investing your money
