Important correction: In the video I say that the ETF XEC holds emerging markets stocks directly. That is false. It holds IEMG, which is a US listed ETF. The only Canadian listed ETF that holds emerging markets stocks directly is ZEM, though it also holds some US listed ETFs. ZEM also tracks an index that omits small cap stocks completely, making it potentially less desirable than the more diversified XEC.
Global diversification is universally accepted as beneficial to investors, but foreign withholding tax is a tricky little detail that can eat into your investment returns. When a foreign company pays a dividend to a Canadian investor, the company’s home country will often impose a tax on the dividend. The amount of tax withheld by the foreign government depends on the arrangement between the two countries.

The S&P 500 is an index of 500 US stocks that covers roughly 80% of the available US market capitalization. It is one of the oldest and best-known stock indexes in the world. The S&P Dow Jones Indices website says that there are 3.4 trillion US dollars indexed to the S&P 500. That is 3.4 trillion US dollars invested in index funds that are tracking the S&P 500 index. That is a lot of money invested in the S&P 500.

Day trading, the activity of buying and selling the same financial asset on the same day, sounds like one of the smartest approaches to investing in stocks. Why bother holding onto an index fund when you can make daily profits? And to make day trading sound even better, there are lots of people on the internet nice enough to teach you how to trade, and make huge easy profits just like them, for a fee, of course.

Every market drop feels different. There is always a narrative, and the narrative is often scarier than the drop itself. If we can understand the power of a compelling narrative to make us behave irrationally, we might be better equipped to make better decisions, and feel less anxious, when the stock market declines.

The RRSP, or registered retirement savings plan, is a special type of account in Canada that gets special tax treatment from the Canada Revenue Agency. It is only an account. The RRSP itself is not an investment.

In this video I'm going to tell you why you should think carefully about owning small cap ETFs.
You probably won’t be surprised if I tell you that small-cap stocks, in general, have outperformed large-cap stocks over the long-term, even on a risk-adjusted basis, with risk measured as standard deviation. This is well-documented around the world and over time. Small caps were the first market anomaly that challenged the capital asset pricing model and resulted in today’s multi-factor models for asset pricing.
My name is Ben Felix, Associate Portfolio Manager at PWL Capital.

If you’re investing in stocks and bonds, you have surely wondered how your portfolio is doing, and how you should expect it to do going forward. Performance is relative. We would evaluate an active fund manager against an index to see if they are delivering better returns than passively holding the market - they rarely do.
I’m Ben Felix, Associate Portfolio Manager at PWL Capital. In this episode of Common Sense Investing, I’m going to tell you about past and expected financial market returns.
