In this episode of Money Talks, we demystify the world of alternative managed products to give you an edge in your financial journey and your Canadian Securities Course (CSC) studies.
Financial professional Jonathan Cartier joins us to break down complex investments into simple, actionable concepts. We explore Segregated Funds, explaining how their insurance structure provides maturity guarantees and creditor protection. Discover Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and learn how to become a fractional landlord, earning income from Canada's top properties. We also dissect Closed-End Funds, LSVCCs (and their valuable tax credits), and give you a look inside the high-stakes world of Private Equity.
