This is Jeff Wareham, ScotiaMcLeod Wealth Advisor, with some thoughts for investors outgrowing their mutual funds.

After three days of selling, this week is likely to be one of the worst ever for the Toronto market. The energy and material sectors, which propped up Toronto earlier in the year, have led the decline. Markets around the world have followed suit. Cash pays almost nothing, and bond and GIC rates barely cover inflation. Where is an investor to turn in such challenging market conditions?

If market volatility is troubling you, listen to Beyond Funds Market Weekly tomorrow at 8:30 AM, or attend my upcoming seminar, featuring Nevin Markwart, Vice President Canadian Equities of Fidelity Investments. He will share strategies to survive and thrive in today’s environment.

Join me for lunch at the Black Trumpet on September 9th, and I will discuss alternatives for investors who want to protect their portfolios.

Have you outgrown your mutual funds?
