Retirement Planning Pyramid It’s important to plan for your financial future. If you’re not sure how to plan ahead, take a look at the Retirement Planning Pyramid. This widely accepted and simple tool can help you create a retirement plan that is built on a solid foundation. The pyramid illustrates which financial matters you should address first: debt reduction, insurance needs, a properly drawn will and an emergency fund. As you move up the pyramid (by reducing debt and acquiring assets), your income protection needs are replaced by your need to accumulate more wealth. Ask us to help you plan ahead using the Retirement Planning Pyramid. Corporate In-Kind Donating As more and more corporations invest their retained earnings directly in various vehicles like mutual funds or publicly traded securities, the value of their portfolio tends to grow. And as business owners build their corporation's portfolio, they may also want to 'give back' while taking advantage of the tax benefits of donating investment funds to charity.

  • Equity Investor | Heda Investments

    What type of investor are you? Equity investors are people who invest money into a company in exchange for a share of ownership in the company. Equity Investor Stocks & Equity Reliable Income & Growth - Historical evidence shows dividends as a reliable source of income and additional portfolio growth over time. Mitigate Market Volatility - Dividends can act as a cushion during market turbulence, offering comfort to equity investors and encouraging them to stay invested. Potential for Share-Price Gains - Companies increasing dividend payouts to reward investors may lead to share-price appreciation, offering additional benefits for shareholders. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) ETFs, or Exchange-Traded Funds, are like a hybrid of stocks and mutual funds. They're open-ended mutual funds that trade like stocks throughout the trading day. Unlike traditional mutual funds, ETFs can be bought or sold at any time when the market is open, just like shares of a company. This offers investors flexibility and liquidity. ETFs are bought and sold at market prices, which can sometimes differ from their net asset value. Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) Terminology Non-Principal Protected Structured Notes (NPPN) NPPNs: Tailored Investment Solutions Non-Principal Protected Notes (NPPNs) offer a personalized approach to investment returns. Unlike traditional equity investments, NPPNs provide flexibility. They can yield enhanced returns when markets rise and varying levels of principal protection in market downturns. Key Features: Customizable to match your investment preferences. Linked to various underlying assets like indices, stocks, and more. Provides a balance between potential returns and capital protection. Discover NPPNs: Explore investment alternatives that align with your unique financial goals. Closed Ended Funds Closed-Ended Funds: A Unique Investment Approach Explore the world of Closed-Ended Funds (CEFs), where traditional mutual fund principles meet a distinctive twist. Managed by investment experts, CEFs house diverse portfolios of securities, just like mutual funds. However, CEFs stand apart in their structure: once the initial public offering (IPO) concludes, capital no longer flows in or out through purchases or sales of shares. Instead, shares are traded on an exchange, with other market participants stepping in as buyers or sellers. This distinctive setup adds a layer of market dynamics to CEFs, offering an intriguing investment avenue. Benefits: Exchange Trading: CEF shares are traded on exchanges, enhancing flexibility and accessibility. Diversification: CEFs pool resources to invest in various securities, spreading risk. Unique Market Dynamics: Unlike traditional mutual funds, CEF prices can differ from their net asset value.

And private equity sees an opportunity, by racing to consolidate independent daycares. Easy access to capital propels their growth, but child care experts warn that debt‑loaded roll‑ups drive teacher turnover and can implode suddenly, wiping out the access they seek to provide in large numbers. Vermont’s new publicly funded program is an example of a model that works - a payroll tax and disclosure of child care center ownership to provide access to those who need it. -------- More on Bloomberg Television and Markets Like this video?

Play Video Play Video 01:09 What is an RRSP? Did you know the Canadian government gives financial incentives to help you save for your retirement? Find out more about registered retirement savings plans. What is an RRSP? Simply put, a Registered Retirement Savings Plan, or RRSP, is a special type of savings account that helps Canadians save for their retirement. How does an RRSP work? Contributions you make to an RRSP are tax-deferred, meaning the money is only taxed when you withdraw it. For most, withdrawing from your RRSP at a later point in life means paying much less tax. Any money put into an RRSP, up to the annual limit, reduces your taxable income for that year. Your annual limit is a percentage of your earned income plus unused room from earlier years. You can hold a variety of investments in your RRSP, like stocks, bonds, GICs, and mutual funds. Because income earned inside an RRSP isn't subject to tax until it's withdrawn, RRSPs are a powerful way to save for your retirement. Find more tips and tools at sunlife.ca.

Did you know the Canadian government gives financial incentives to help you save for your retirement? Find out more about registered retirement savings plans. What is an RRSP? Simply put, a Registered Retirement Savings Plan, or RRSP, is a special type of savings account that helps Canadians save for their retirement. How does an RRSP work? Contributions you make to an RRSP are tax-deferred, meaning the money is only taxed when you withdraw it. For most, withdrawing from your RRSP at a later point in life means paying much less tax. Any money put into an RRSP, up to the annual limit, reduces your taxable income for that year. Your annual limit is a percentage of your earned income plus unused room from earlier years. You can hold a variety of investments in your RRSP, like stocks, bonds, GICs, and mutual funds. Because income earned inside an RRSP isn't subject to tax until it's withdrawn, RRSPs are a powerful way to save for your retirement. Find more tips and tools at sunlife.ca.

  • Find Your Investment Profile Ontario | Heda Investments

    Portfolio management for every investor profile - equity, retiree or business owner. Sunil Heda, CPA (US), CIM®. Vaughan, GTA, Ontario & British Columbia Who are you? What is your appetite for risk? Some people may find sky diving thrilling; others would rather keep their feet on the ground. The difference between these individuals is quite likely their attitude towards risk – how willing they are to jump out of an airplane for an unforgettable thrill. It is much the same when it comes to investing. Your attitude with respect to the potential of losing money and your ability to absorb a financial loss can be very different. Learn More > Equity Investor Fixed Income & GIC Investor Tax Wise Investor Business Owner & Professional Pre-Retiree Retiree The risk of outliving your savings Canadians are living longer and longer. Most of us will likely see our 80th birthday and a growing number of us are expected to live to 100. And while many of us do plan to keep working well after turning 65 — or even indefinitely — the majority are looking forward to some form of retirement when we hit our 60s. That means we need to ensure that the nest egg we accumulate over our working life lasts long enough to support us through 30 or even 40 years of retirement. Click learn more about how to protect yourself against the risk of outliving your savings, or what we call 'longevity risk.' Learn More > The value of advice In an effort to stay healthy, you make seeing your doctor a priority. Your doctor knows your medical history and, if there is a problem, can recommend a course of treatment. The same concept applies to your finances – regular checkups with an advisor can go a long way towards improving your financial health. Whether your goal is to reduce debt, buy a house, save for retirement or simply pay the bills, you don't have to go it alone. Regardless of your stage of life or amount of wealth, you can benefit from the professional counsel and services of an advisor. In fact,71 per cent of advised households started working with an advisor when they had less than $50,000 in investable assets.1 Milestones such as buying a first home, starting a new job or having a child are all good opportunities to address new financial needs and begin working with an advisor.

His erudite knowledge on a multitude of financial services attracted us to go for an initial discussion with him. We had a financial advisor, but we found Sunil understood our short-term goals and long-term objectives with a much greater clarity along with a strong willingness to help us achieve all of them. In all subsequent discussions and transactions, Sunil always guided us as his family member, and we were always a top priority for him. We slowly and steadily moved our investment portfolio of RRSPs, TFSAs, RESPs, Insurance and Non registered investments to Sunil. The slow and steady approach was determined as we got to see how well he was managing our investments and how impressively the portfolio was managed to optimize maximum returns even in adverse times, all with a very low fee. All guidance and advise received from Sunil, his management of our investment portfolio, his client- first attitude and an undying will to help his clients achieve their financial objectives is noteworthy. We, after a 3+ years’ experience on transacting and working with Sunil would strongly recommend him to our friends and families.Thanks for the awesome journey Sunil ‘Bhaiya’ and we hope to go miles ahead with this relationship.Please accept our sincere thanks (Bhaiya is a Hindi word for Brother, to signify our immense respect for him)." - Rahul "Sunil has recently completed my Retirement Financial Plan. During all the personalized workshops he conducted with me and my wife, he was diligent, through, and professional in his approach. The final deliverable was a document validated and signed by a Certified Financial Planner, with multiple alternatives, projected life events and detailed year by year cash flows. I will be using the recommended alternative to work out my retired life. It gives me the confidence that I will be able to survive at my current lifestyle, in this age of uncertainties, high taxes, ever-increasing inflation and ever-decreasing government benefits to retired people. I would recommend any prospective retiree, who has not already done so to get in touch with Sunil and work out their retirement." - Jyoti "My wife and I have known Sunil for the last 10 years and have been impressed with his patience, professionalism and knowledge. As our circumstances change, he has advised us on how to tweak our planning to make the best. Now both our daughters have started their retirement planning with Sunil and we feel confident that his advice will serve all of us well. We highly recommend Sunil for anyone who is looking for a good financial advisor." - Manjunath "I came to know Sunil through my association with Konkani association. The first thing that came across through that meeting was being sincere and presenting an approach to investments to suit your needs. Over the later period though many dealing with Sunil and that initial impression of being down to earth sincere approach to meeting client’s needs has crystallized. Another thing I like about Sunil is he is ready to engage in discussions for mutual benefit.
