Improve Your Income In These Challenging Times

Interest rates and GICs have reached record lows. Where should you
look for income? Surprisingly, there are several very safe places an
investor may go for secure income. Canadian banks offer preferred
shares with yields well over eight percent. Further, many of the
banks have brought out bonds with yields approaching 10 percent.
Insurance companies are offering alternatives with varying yields,
depending on your age and health. None of these solutions is as
simple as a GIC, but with the guidance of an advisor, they may
significantly improve your income in these challenging times.

Do you want to discuss your alternatives?
Have you outgrown your mutual funds?
