Ask the advisor how long they have been in the business, and what have they done to become a better advisor since they started. Just because someone has been in the business 15 years, doesn't mean they haven't simply repeated the first year 14 other times!

Investment Strategies To Grow Your IncomeCurtis Rose
While it’s wise to have a concern for increasing your assets, you may also wish to focus on using your investments to augment your income.
For example, if you inherited a valuable piece of artwork worth $1 million, you could hang it on your wall and increase your assets by $1 million. However, that picture on your wall does little to help you pay your expenses.
Investment strategies that focus on growing assets will generally result in greater wealth over the long-term, but it’s also possible to generate a significant income via the proper investment channels.
Investment strategies that focus on income make more sense as you near retirement age. With income-producing investments, you can lower your risk. This might be especially important to you if you’re too close to retirement to have the time to recover from significant asset loss.
Also, once you’re retired, you’ll want a reliable and consistent source of income.
Success in investing leads to increased wealth and security. Success in investing comes from making sound decisions, paying attention, and taking the time to learn about what t invest in and how to invest. Here are our thoughts about considerations when investing.

Decoding job postings: Improving accessibility for neurodivergent job seekers
Improving the quality and accessibility of job postings is one way to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Everyone has a different idea of what money means to them—personal freedom, a sense of security or the ability to afford the things they want in life. Having a plan can help you get where you want to be. Know what you want to do Look at the bigger picture. How do you see yourself down the road? Set financial goals by writing down what you want to accomplish and by when. Some examples • Make a down payment of $25,000 on a house in two years. • Contribute $10,000 toward your child’s education in 10 years. • Retire in 15 years with an income of $50,000 a year for at least 20 years.
What investing is not Investing is not a get-rich-quick scheme and it is not gambling. Gambling is putting your money at risk by betting on a random outcome with the hope that you might win more money. Investing simply means putting your money to work so it can make more money. Wise investors don’t leave it to chance. They have a plan and commit money only when they have a reasonable expectation of profit. Yes, there is still risk and there are often no guarantees, but investing should be more than hoping luck is on your side.
Expected return is what you hope for. You could lose, too.
How much risk are you willing to take? Your ability to take on risk is key to finding out what works for you. In investing, the higher the potential return, the higher the risk. There’s no such thing as a high return, risk-free investment. If you want higher returns, you have to be prepared to accept the risks that go along with them. Your tolerance for risk may depend on: • what is more important to you—keeping your money safe or seeking higher growth • when you need your money • how you react to the ups and down of the markets • if you have any debts • if you have any other sources of income to fall back on For many people, the tried and true test is whether they can sleep at night.
How comfortable are you investing on your own? Your desire to do your own research and select investments is another important consideration. How much time are you willing to spend sorting through investment choices and keeping up with the markets? How confident are you in your investment knowledge and ability to carry out your decisions? If you need some guidance, you may want to seek the services of a financial adviser. If you decide that investing on your own is not for you, your most important investment decision may be choosing the right adviser. How to find an adviser Ask friends, family, work associates and other professionals you trust, like your accountant or lawyer, for referrals. Keep in mind that what’s good for one person may not be good for another. You can also contact your local securities regulator to find out who is registered in your area. Industry groups like Investment Industry Regulatory Association of Canada (IIROC), the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (MFDA) or the Investment Counsel Association of Canada (ICAC) can give you a list of registered member firms. The Financial Planners Standards Council (FPSC) can also give you a list of qualified individuals in your area. What to look for You may want to interview a few advisers before you make your decision. Choose an adviser who has the necessary qualifications and experience, who is registered with your local securities regulator and who you believe is trustworthy. Just as important is choosing someone you are comfortable with. A good adviser will want a clear understanding of your financial situation and your goals, explain how they plan to help you reach them and review the plan with you at least once a year.

Before you sign on with an adviser, ask: • What is your education and professional experience? • How long has your firm been in business? • How long have you been with the firm? • Are you and your firm registered with a securities regulator? • What products and services do you offer? • How will you help me reach my goals? • How often will you contact me or meet with me? • How are you paid for your services (salary, commission or flat fee)? • Can you give me references from clients who are like me? Follow up with your local securities regulator to find out if the adviser is registered. They can also tell you can if an individual or firm has a record of any disciplinary action.
As we mentioned earlier, there are many ways you can invest your money. While there are thousands of investments to choose from, in general, each will fall into one of the four main categories below. These categories are also called “asset classes”. Cash and cash equivalents This includes money in your bank account and “cash-like” investments, such as Canada savings bonds, treasury bills and money market funds. These are generally very safe and give you quick access to your money. However, they have relatively low rates of return compared to other kinds of investments. Fixed income securities Bonds and other “fixed income securities” are investments that are based on debt. When you buy a bond, you are lending your money to a government or company for a certain period of time. In return, they promise to pay you interest on your money and to repay the “face value” at the end of the bond’s term. The face value is the value of the bond when it was issued. Many fixed income securities come with a guarantee and are relatively safe. They tend to offer better rates of return than cash equivalent investments because you’re taking on more risk by lending out your money for a longer period. Other bonds, like “junk” bonds, offer much higher rates of return, but they can be very risky and have no guarantees. Equities When you buy stocks or “equities”, you become a part owner in a business. You may be entitled to vote at the shareholders’ meeting and will receive any profits the company allocates to its shareholders. These profits are called dividends. You can make money on a stock two ways: if the stock increases in value and if the company pays a dividend. However, there are no guarantees that a stock will make money or that the company will pay a dividend. The value of a stock can go up or down— sometimes frequently and sometimes by a lot. What about mutual funds? Mutual funds are simply a collection of investments from one or more asset classes. Each mutual fund focuses on specific investments, like government bonds, stocks from large companies, stocks from certain countries, or a mix of stocks and bonds. The level of risk and return of a mutual fund depends on what it invests in. When you buy a mutual fund, you’re pooling your money with many other investors. The main advantages are that you can invest in a variety of investments for a relatively low cost and leave the investment decisions to a professional manager. Compared to fixed income securities, stocks can provide relatively high returns, but you may also have a higher risk of losing some or all of your investment. Alternative investments These include things like options, futures, foreign currencies, hedge funds, gold and real estate. They represent some of the most complicated types of investments. For this reason, they usually have higher-than-average risk in return for higher-than-average return potential. Alternative investments are typically meant for sophisticated investors who can afford to take high risks.

Getting the right balance Not all investments perform well at the same time. Different investments react differently to world events, factors in the economy like interest rates, and business prospects. So when one investment is down, another might be up. Having a variety of investments can help offset the impact poor performers may have on your portfolio, while taking advantage of the earning potential of the rest. This is called “diversification” but it’s really just putting into practice the old adage of “not putting all your eggs in one basket”. First, you need to decide on the asset mix. The right balance will depend on your goals, when you need your money and how much risk you are willing to take. The next step is picking the specific investments in each asset class. If you’re not comfortable doing these things on your own, you may want to consult an adviser.
Be an informed investor One way to help protect your money is to be an informed investor. Whether you have an adviser or invest on your own, ask the following questions before you buy: • How will the investment make money? Does it pay dividends or interest? Does it have the potential to go up in value? If so, what needs to happen for it to go up in value? • What are the total fees to buy, hold and sell the investment? Do you have to pay a penalty or fee if you have to sell the investment quickly or before its maturity date? • What are the specific risks? Could you lose some or all of your investment? In general, the higher the expected rate of return, the greater the risk. • How easy would it be to sell the investment if you needed your money right away? • Does the investment fit with your goals and risk tolerance?

Never invest in anything that you don’t fully understand. Take your time making investment decisions and never sign documents you have not read carefully.
Securities regulators oversee Canada’s capital markets and the advisers who sell and manage investments traded in those markets. The Nova Scotia Securities Commission is the regulator in this province. Our goal is to protect investors from investment fraud and scams, as well as other unfair or improper practices. We work to make sure Nova Scotians are confident investing in a market that is both fair and efficient. If you have a concern or complaint about either an investment or an investment adviser, call the securities commission to find out what can be done about it. The enforcement staff of the Nova Scotia Securities Commission investigates alleged violations of Nova Scotia Securities Laws. You may call with questions, but a formal complaint must be made in writing.
The Nova Scotia Securities Commission can take certain actions to help investors, but there are other actions we cannot take because they fall outside of our legal authority. The NSSC can: answer general questions about investment products and services tell you if a firm or representative is registered in Nova Scotia tell you if an individual or firm has ever been disciplined by the NSSC suggest options for pursuing your complaint and tell you which organization may be of the most help enforce compliance with securities legislation act against market misconduct, including removing from the market those who do not comply with the law or who cheat investors The NSSC cannot: force someone to give your money back undo a transaction give advice on an investment give legal advice negotiate a settlement on your behalf comment on an investigation
