Global Markets: End of Year Update and Look AheadGGOF Media Conference Call November 28, 2006
WHAT:
As we head into the second RRSP season since the removal of foreign content restrictions, Canadian investors have the opportunity to take full advantage of global markets in their RRSPs. However, they seem steadfast in their resolve to invest primarily within the confines of the Canadian border, which means they may be missing out on some potentially rewarding international investment opportunities. Given the concentrated nature of the Canadian equity market, which is heavily weighted in resources and financials, these investors lack exposure to a number of important sectors such as pharmaceuticals and consumer staples.

With the right advice, this reluctance to invest in global markets could be diminished and allow investors to optimize the diversification of their portfolios.

Join Guardian Group of Funds (GGOF) and three of its world-class portfolio advisors as they review global investing opportunities. They will discuss:

  • An outlook and trend analysis of global markets
  • Investing opportunities outside of Canada: what's hot
  • Global investing dos and don'ts
  • The role of the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar in global investing
  • What markets provide the best options for a diversified portfolio
  • How to reduce the volatility sometimes associated with global investing
