This week on CTV Your Morning Vancouver, Peter breaks it down. Borrowing to invest can make sense for higher-income earners, but it’s a tax saving strategy, not a wealth-building shortcut. It’s not for everyone, and borrowed money shouldn’t be mixed with investments. There’s a lot to think about, so tune in to make smarter financial decisions.

It’s a common question, and the right answer isn’t the same for everyone.

The decision depends on:

• Interest rates and expected investment returns
• Your cash flow and risk tolerance
• Short and long-term financial goals

Peter explains how to weigh your options and decide which approach makes the most sense for your situation.

Benchmarks help you understand how your investments are really performing.

They can show:

• Whether your portfolio is meeting expectations
• How your returns compare to the market
• If your investment strategy still aligns with your goals

This week on CTV Morning Live Vancouver, Peter explains how benchmarks work and how to use them to make more informed investment decisions.

Feeling the back-to-school, back-to-work exhaustion? You’re not alone. Historically, September has been the worst-performing month for markets (since 1927, per Bank of America & Bloomberg).

• Don’t be surprised.
• Stay the course—it all averages out.
• Or, if you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, this could be your dip-buying moment.

Oddly enough, February is the next worst month, while July shines as the strongest. Catch Peter on CTV Morning Live Vancouver for smart, practical financial insights you can actually use.

RRSP, GRSP, TFSA, FHSA, RESP… it can feel like an alphabet soup of options.

• Explore a mortgage deductibility strategy
