The latest member of the $1 trillion club

Season 1 · Episode 118

Friday, September 6, 2024 • Duration 04:29

Berkshire Hathaway, the investment company run by Warren Buffet, recently hit the $1-trillion-value mark, says IG Wealth Management’s Chief Investment Strategist, Philip Petursson. Since 1987, Buffet’s company has returned an average of 16.7% annually, considerably more than the S&P 500’s average return of around 11% over the same period. Philip explains why the company often performs well when markets are down and why his team’s tactical tilts are mirroring those of Berkshire Hathaway; cutting stakes in equities and boosting the fixed income portion.

Friday, August 30, 2024 • Duration 05:28

What drives one stock index to outperform another? This is the key question that IG Wealth Management’s Chief Investment Strategist, Philip Petursson explores in considering whether recent gains on the S&P/TSX Composite are coming from the success of the companies that make up the index, or are the gains the output of something else altogether.

Season 1 · Episode 116

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 06:30

IG Wealth Management’s Chief Investment Strategist, Philip Petursson reviews the most recent earnings season. This is when companies report their quarterly revenue (sales) and earnings (profits). Philip explains the difference between the two, how disappointing revenue can still result in increased earnings, which sectors were this season’s winners and losers, and what needs to happen for S&P 500 stocks to continue to increase in value.

Are we missing the bigger picture?

Season 1 · Episode 115

Friday, August 16, 2024 • Duration 04:54

It’s easy for market participants to get obsessed with tiny details, says IG Wealth Management’s Chief Investment Strategist, Philip Petursson. Right now, it’s an obsession with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s next move on cutting rates, which would require an acceptance that the economy is weakening. At the same time, however, markets expect earnings to grow by 10% over the next 12 months, suggesting a strong economy. Given this paradox, Philip says that now is the time to step back from the minute details and focus on what is currently crucial for investment portfolios.

Is the Fed making a policy mistake?

Season 1 · Episode 113

Friday, August 2, 2024 • Duration 04:09

The U.S. Federal Reserve has decided to stay put and follow market expectations by not cutting rates. However, by changing its statement, the Fed set expectations for a September cut, saying that job gains have moderated and that inflation was now only “somewhat elevated.” Ashish Utarid, IG Wealth Management’s Assistant Vice-President of Investment Strategy, asks, “Will the Fed’s eventual rate cut come too late?”

A pivot from inflation-fighting to economic support

Season 1 · Episode 112

Friday, July 26, 2024 • Duration 04:50

Having just announced a second interest rate cut that quickly followed the first, what’s next for the Bank of Canada? asks IG Wealth Management’s Chief Investment Strategist, Philip Petursson. The bank has clearly switched its priorities from fighting inflation (a battle it has surely won) to supporting the Canadian economy. Philip discusses the probable rate cuts ahead, the likely timing for the U.S. Federal Reserve to start following Canada’s lead, and what this will all mean to consumers and the economy.

Is the big companies’ overperformance a problem?

Season 1 · Episode 111

Friday, July 19, 2024 • Duration 04:54

Some commentators are worried about a market recovery where most gains are coming from a small percentage of companies, says IG Wealth Management’s Chief Investment Strategist, Philip Petursson. There is a fear that many of these large companies are very expensive, with overly high expectations. However, Philip explains that in this weird bull market — where most companies have underperformed so far — if the big companies start seeing a correction, another sector will be ready to step in to take its place.

Season 1 · Episode 109

Thursday, July 4, 2024 • Duration 04:14

The economy can be similar to those moments in-between old and new seasons, says Ashish Utarid, AVP, Investment Strategy at IG Wealth Management. Similar to how the transition from spring to summer can bring hot days followed by cooler periods, the economy can also show signs of this dual nature, with some sectors thriving far more than others. Ashish says that these moments can deliver hidden gems, and it’s crucial to position your portfolio to benefit from the unique opportunities available.
