Christian Investing 101

Overconfidence often leads to mistakes and many Canadians believe they know more about financial management than the evidence suggests. Almost 1,400 adults took a financial literacy test recently to assess their knowledge, skills, and confidence, but the average score was just 44%. Prior to the testing, 90% of respondents said that their confidence in money management skills was “very good” or “good”. This Christian-based educational and entertaining presentation is designed to introduce people to the basics of investing. We will look at what to invest in, how to build an investment portfolio, product choices, the cost of advice, tax concepts like RRSPs and TFSAs, and time-honored investment principles.
