Looking back at 2024 and looking ahead to 2025, we evaluate what we would like to accomplish in the days to come. Join Harry, David & Kevin as they discuss the components within a financial health check and the importance of updating your financial plan every 1-2 years.
As we move into 2025, we remain optimistic about the market’s potential. The themes that drove performance in 2024, such as technological advancements and consumer strength, are likely to continue playing a significant role in 2025. Of course, there will be new issues to monitor like Donald Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs, as well as some of the familiar uncertainties as far as inflation and the trajectory of monetary policy in Canada and the US.
What better way to end the year off than with a few laughs. Please enjoy our bloopers from this years filming. From our family to yours, we wish you the happiest of holidays and we look forward to sharing another year with you!
In the short term, there is a lot of hope and positive optimism in the markets based on the many possibilities to come out of the U.S. economy as we head into a second Trump presidency. His promises on tariffs, immigration and deregulation are all being met with initial positivity both by the U.S. people and the investment markets. In Canada, markets have been very good this year, however our GDP is a concern, and we don’t currently see anything major occurring to alter this path. 2025 is an election year for us in Canada, it will be interesting to see how our markets react as we head down our own campaign trail next year.
