Many Canadian investors turn to Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) looking for safe, stable income. However, low interest rates, taxes, and inflation have meant the real return on an average one-year GIC has actually been negative every single year over the past decade as shown in the chart. As a result, if you invested in a GIC, after taxes and inflation, you actually lost ground.
This is why having a diversified portfolio with a range of asset classes is essential. Including a portion of equities in your portfolio can protect your purchasing power and help grow your wealth over time. As an example, the ten-year return for Canadian equities as represented by the S&P/TSX is 7.97% for the same timeframe.

Investing is an important part of achieving financial stability. It's one of those crucial financial tips that young individuals, as well as those over the age of 40 years, should keep in mind. When you invest a portion of your income, you keep yourself ready to face any financial emergency. Whether it's medical uncertainty, sudden losses in business, or layoffs in your organisation, investment assists in every difficult time.
Financial planning is a long-term process of managing one's finances to achieve goals. It provides a roadmap to financial well-being and sustainable wealth creation.

Financial planning is needed due to risks like living too long in retirement, changing lifestyles, inflation, and lack of social security. It involves understanding assets, liabilities, priorities, timelines, and appropriate investment vehicles. Starting financial planning early allows greater benefits of compounding returns. Using systematic investment plans smooths out market volatility for better long-term returns. Financial planners can help develop and implement customized plans.
This document is a slide presentation on conservative investing strategies for retirement. It discusses the importance of having predictable income and principal protection in retirement.

It emphasizes the need to review investments regularly and adjust the asset allocation over time based on goals and market conditions.

Editor's Notes
I would like to tell you about a great way to start saving for the post-secondary education of your children.
Can you believe that there is free, no strings attached money, available from the Government of Canada for post-secondary education? Well believe it because it’s true! You could get up to $ 2,000 for education savings, with no contributions required!
Every parent has hopes and dreams for their children and a good post-secondary education is where future aspirations start.
By the end of this information session you will have enough knowledge to set your children on the path to realizing their full potential and becoming part of a talented work-force and a comfortable life style.
How does the government help parents plan for post-secondary education?
By offering incentives such as the Canada Learning Bond, the Canada Education Savings Grant and the Additional Canada Education Savings Grant, when an RESP is opened.
An RESP is a Registered Education Savings Plan that allows contributions to grow tax free.
Let’s take a closer look at these incentives.
So now you know that the federal government offers free money to help parents save early for their children’s post-secondary education and you are probably wondering how to get that free money!
All you need to do is go to a financial institution and open an RESP. You have already heard me mention RESPs but maybe you aren’t too sure what they are.
RESP stands for Registered Education Savings Plan. It’s a plan that’s registered with Canada Revenue Agency and allows contributions to accumulate tax free.
For our purposes, the most important reason for opening an RESP is to gain access to the Government of Canada’s savings incentives: the Canada Learning Bond and the Canada Education Savings Grant.
There are of course many others benefits:
An RESP will help you plan early while creating an environment where your child will be encouraged to aspire to attend post-secondary education.
Having education savings increases parental expectations for their children’s future.
The compound interest accumulated will help the savings grow.
And while government contributions may not be enough to cover all expenses, they will lighten a student’s debt load.
An RESP can remain open for 36 years giving the beneficiary ample time to decide when they want to start and what type of post-secondary education they wish to pursue. If they want to work a few years first to save even more money into their RESP, they can.
Let me explain briefly about the different types of RESPs.
An Individual Plan is for one child and no relationship to the subscriber is required. For example, the beneficiary can be a friend’s child, a favorite nephew or anyone you choose.
Family Plans can only be opened by parents or grandparents. The beneficiaries must be siblings. i.e. brothers and sisters, including adopted children.
Finally, there are Group Plans. This is a grouping of individual plans for beneficiaries born in the same year. Due to fees, restrictions and regular monthly payments this type of plan does not necessarily have the flexibility needed for families with modest to middle incomes.
Make sure you explore the possibilities and have enough information to choose what is best for your circumstances.
