This document discusses the challenges financial advisers face when customers have unrealistic expectations but want conservative investment options. It notes that the gap between expectations and reality is widening due to factors like longer lifespans, higher costs of living, and lower expected returns. While saving more is important, the document argues that taking prudent risks, such as borrowing to invest, may be necessary to boost returns enough to meet goals. It acknowledges advisers are cautious about recommending borrowing but suggests rules of thumb could overlook opportunities if risks are properly managed through diversification and portfolio adjustments.
Personal finance and investing principles include creating a budget by listing income and expenses, setting financial goals, saving at least 10% of monthly income, and periodically reviewing expenses. Investing principles involve diversifying investments across stocks, bonds, and mutual funds for long-term growth. Investors should start early to benefit from compounding returns and plan for retirement by contributing to tax-advantaged 401(k) plans or annuities. Resources for learning include online tutorials and simulators.

Income is money received for work or through investments over a period of time. It can come from wages, profits, rents, interest or other earnings. Most individuals earn income through work or investments. In most countries, the government taxes income before individuals receive it. Savings is income not spent on consumption. It involves putting money aside in accounts or reducing expenses. Investment is the use of savings to purchase assets with the goal of earning returns such as capital appreciation, dividends or interest. The main differences between savings and investment are their purposes (preserving wealth vs. growing wealth) and risk-reward profiles (low risk-low reward for savings vs. higher risk-higher potential reward for investments). Proper financial planning involves creating budgets
This document discusses various investment strategies and asset classes for growing wealth over the long term, including equities, property, bonds, asset allocation funds, and the benefits of each.

The Strategic Asset Fund is managed by ELP Capital Advisors and aims to provide consistent long-term returns of 12% annually through short-term, senior real estate loans. ELP evaluates borrowers based on their character, capacity, capability and collateral to ensure they can repay the loan.

The current economic environment with reduced traditional lending presents opportunities for ELP to finance quality real estate projects and generate high returns for investors with relative safety of principal.

This highlights how outsourcing to professional money managers can help investors avoid emotional reactions and achieve their long-term financial goals.

Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument

Qualified Dividends : For the purposes of calculating the dividend tax, ordinary dividends are for stocks held more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date. These are taxed at what is known as the qualified dividend tax rate, which is 5% or 15% depending upon the income tax bracket into which the investor falls. For investors with personal income tax brackets of 25% or higher, they will pay a 15% dividend tax on their qualified dividends. For investors in a lower income tax bracket, they will pay a 5% dividend tax. Qualified dividends must be paid between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2010. Non-Qualified Dividends : A non-qualified dividend is any dividend that doesn't meet the test of qualified dividends (see above). The dividend tax on these dividends is the same as an investor's personal income tax bracket. If you're in the 35% tax bracket, for instance, you'll pay a 35% dividend tax on non-qualified dividends.
