Market volatility isn't new, but over the past year it has intensified due to tariff tensions, unpredictable interest rates, and persistent inflation, leaving investors to navigate contradictory and confusing economic signals. This raises a critical question for investors: how can you make wise decisions when news cycles outpace policy changes and traditional indicators seem  unreliable?In this episode of Smart Advice, host Carissa Lucreziano welcomes back David Wong, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Total Investment Solutions at CIBC Global Asset Management. With decades of experience guiding investors through economic storms, David brings clarity to a chaotic moment. He breaks down what's really happening with Canadian and global markets, discusses the potential for recession amid tariff uncertainties, and highlights the evolving roles of fixed income, gold, and alternatives in a diversified portfolio. Additionally, David also explores the impact of artificial intelligence as a future growth driver and its potential implications for investment strategies. He emphasizes the importance of staying invested during turbulent times and offers insights into low-volatility equity strategies as a practical approach to managing risk.This episode provides a strategic perspective on investing, offering practical insights on managing risk and refining your investment strategy amidst the noise of the headlines.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Understand how global tariff tensions and inflation are shaping Canadian markets—and what that means for your investment strategy.Discover effective strategies for building a resilient, diversified portfolio that can weather short-term volatility without sacrificing long-term growth.Explore the influence of artificial intelligence and alternative investments on market trends and your investment approach.ResourcesCIBC's "Smart Advice" Podcast and WebsiteVisit CAM Investment insights for timely expert insights and research Visit CIBC for more Smart AdviceChicago Mercantile Exchange FedWatch ToolC.D. Howe Institute's Business Cycle CouncilMcKinsey Study on AI AdoptionGoldman Sachs Forecast on AI ImpactEpisode Highlights[00:25] Navigating 2025 with a resilient investment strategyMarket turbulence in 2025 means Canadians need to adapt their investment strategy.David Wong describes the current market in one word: “challenged”.[02:41] David: “More than anything, the uncertainty surrounding where tariffs will ultimately settle is creating challenges on planning for investments from businesses and big ticket purchases from consumers.”He outlines the major factors distorting traditional economic indicators—particularly tariffs—and explains how these distortions complicate policy decisions.As uncertainty continues to cloud the outlook, the importance of adaptable, long-term strategies becomes even more apparent.[04:23] Impact of tariffs and interest rates on investmentsTwo possible economic scenarios are in the Bank of Canada's latest monetary policy report—one involving tariff resolution, and the other pointing toward global trade conflict.Interest rate expectations in the U.S. have shifted; markets are now pushing back rate cut forecasts due to persistent inflation.In Canada, rising unemployment and stubborn core inflation have increased the risk of recession, adding more weight to central bank decisions.Rather than react to every policy shift, a better investment strategy may be to build diversified portfolios that reflect multiple possible outcomes.[09:07] Volatility and market reactionsMarket movements in April reflect just how reactive investors have become to tariff-related headlines, swinging sharply with each new development.David emphasizes that inflation remains a key concern—one that hasn't been resolved post-COVID and could be exacerbated by global trade tensions.In times like these, staying invested and resisting panic is more valuable than ever, especially for those with a long investment horizon.Low-volatility equity strategies are suggested as a practical way to stay the course while addressing investor concerns around risk.[13:08] Investment allocation and diversificationCarissa raises the question of whether investors should stay Canada-focused or explore U.S. and international markets for growth.David explains that while U.S. exposure has historically delivered strong returns, overconcentration can pose risks—especially in uncertain times.Artificial intelligence is flagged as a future growth driver with long-term potential. However, it likely will not make a significant impact for several years.Diversification across regions, sectors, and asset types—including gold and fixed income—is presented as a foundational strategy for resilience.[20:33] Risk management and investment approachRisk isn't just about volatility, it's about understanding what drives market changes and how to prepare for them.[21:06] David: “Reward and risk are related concepts, and you simply can't get reward without taking some level of risk.”David introduces CIBC's Managed Solutions framework, built on three pillars: purpose, structure, and fulfillment.By focusing on fundamental diversification, his team aims to deliver consistent value even in unpredictable market conditions.Balancing short-term noise with long-term discipline remains key, especially as markets send mixed signals on a daily basis.[26:07] Final thoughts and investment frameworkDavid urges listeners to develop a clear investment framework aligned with their financial goals.He reinforces that earnings growth and bond yields—not daily headlines—are the real engines of long-term returns.[26:49] David: “The fear of missing out can be just as dangerous as overreacting to negative news. It's the Scylla and Charybdis of investing.”It's critical to contextualize media-driven fear and avoid impulsive decisions; overcorrecting due to media can severely damage a portfolio.Canadians can confidently navigate market uncertainty, but have to remain disciplined while diversifying their portfolios and utilizing expert insight.About David David is responsible for CIBC Global Asset Management's managed solutions investment process and portfolio management.

For many Canadians, real estate is a deeply personal milestone. It's an investment in the future, and often a building block for wealth. But as we look ahead, a new reality is taking shape. With mortgage renewals on the horizon, economic uncertainty and real estate markets showing varied performance across the provinces, homeowners and buyers alike are facing more complex decisions than ever. Is now the time to look into an investment property, buy, sell or renovate?In this episode of Smart Advice, host Carissa Lucreziano sits down with real estate investment expert, entrepreneur, and television host Scott McGillivray. Known for empowering Canadians through shows like Vacation House Rules and Renovation Resort, Scott brings sharp insight to a timely conversation. Together they explore what's happening in the 2025 real estate market—from pre-construction drawbacks and cash-flow-positive regions to renovation trends and hidden equity opportunities. Scott's refreshingly candid advice offers both caution and optimism to those looking to make their next move in today's unpredictable environment.This episode gives you actionable insights to make smarter financial decisions and seize the real estate opportunity others may miss.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Understand where Canada's real estate opportunities are strongest in 2025Learn which renovations offer the highest ROI and how to capitalize on timing and costs.Reflect on how building the right financial team can help you make strategic real estate moves.ResourcesCIBC's "Smart Advice" Podcast and Website - Website | Apple Podcast | SpotifyVisit CIBC for more Smart AdviceHow to navigate the housing market in 2025 with confidenceVacation House Rules | Website: HGTV Canada - Vacation House RulesRenovation Resort | Website: Renovation Resort ShowEpisode Highlights[01:46] Examining the Canadian real estate marketThe Canadian real estate market is shifting due to political and global changes, so investment strategies will also be in flux.Scott McGillivray joins the conversation, highlighting the mixed confidence in the market and the impact of economic uncertainty on mortgage renewals.The delayed spring market and regional differences in real estate trends make for an interesting environment in which to look for an investment property.However, there are still many opportunities in the current market, particularly for first-time home buyers and those looking to upgrade or renovate.[05:28] Entering the condo market for an investment propertyThe condo market may be stagnating, while condo developers also face multiple challenges.New and existing condo markets are not the same; the market is dynamic and affected by changing rates, rules, pricing, immigration, and even government.Existing inventory may perform better in the next few years due to the lack of investor incentives and high development costs.Government policies have the potential to stimulate the condo market, including reducing development fees and taxes on new construction.[10:44] Regional investment opportunitiesScott marks Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland as provinces for investors looking for cash flow.For equity investors, Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec may be provinces where an equity investor might look for an investment property.[11:41] Scott: “Your ticket to getting good deals right now — as long as you know what a good deal really looks like, that doesn't mean just go buy it — but Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, those are the provinces right now where you see the opportunity.”It's not enough to have an investment property in these locations; equally critical is understanding the local market and working with professionals.Chasing opportunities tends to be a losing game; Canadians need financial education and preparation to seize opportunities when they arise.[14:24] Renovation trends and cost managementCarissa introduces the topic of renovations for an investment property, noting that 50% of Canadians are either planning or completing renovations according to a 2024 CIBC homeownership poll.Scott advises focusing on small to medium renovations with the best return on investment, such as upgrading fixtures, flooring, and paint.Scott highlights the importance of predictability in renovations, especially with the potential for increased costs on appliances and materials.Scott suggests having a safety net and working with financial professionals to manage costs and ensure long-term renovation success.[18:02] Generating income from an investment propertyAccessibility is the top trend in real estate, particularly due to the significant influence of baby boomers on the real estate market.Equally important is being able to enjoy your home. For example, a gym or pool might not generate income, but it may make your home more enjoyable for you, the owner.There is a balance to be struck between resale value and personal enjoyment of renovations.However, when it comes to a return on investment, Scott advises running the numbers to ensure profitability.[25:04] Seizing real estate opportunitiesScott advises starting now and positioning oneself to take advantage of opportunities, especially while others are in a state of decision paralysis.[25:42] Scott: “Trying to chase opportunities in real estate is a fool's game. Putting yourself in the path of progress is strategic. So when everyone else is doing nothing, that's the best time to do something.”A critical act to take is to surround yourself with the right people and be strategic in real estate investments.Preparation, understanding the numbers, and working with the right team are what helps people find a workable investment property to achieve their real estate goals.About Scott Scott McGillivray is one of Canada's most trusted voices in real estate, known for turning properties into powerful wealth-building tools.

As Bukky explains, “Immigration is so difficult that you don't want to find people who all they come and do to you is make things worse... Find people who are optimistic, who have agency, who are persistent.”I believe this mindset has been key to her success, from landing her first job at CIBC as a financial advisor rather than starting at entry-level positions to pivoting into entrepreneurship.In this conversation, Bukky and I chat about what it was like to move and settle in Canada 11 years ago. We also explore:* Her transition from accounting to immigration tech founder* Why she describes herself as a “happenstance entrepreneur”* Tips for anyone planning to immigrate to Canada in 2025/2026* Why preparation matters when you're looking to immigrateOfficial Links✅ Connect with Bukky on LinkedIn✅ Request Bukky's immigration servicesOne AskIf you found this story helpful, please forward or share it to one immigrant out there.

In this episode of Smart Advice, Carissa Lucreziano sits down with the Honourable Lisa Raitt, former federal cabinet minister and current Vice Chair of CIBC Capital Markets, to navigate the complex interplay of politics, economics, and markets.

This episode is for every Canadian asking how to turn economic uncertainty into actionable opportunity.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Learn how political shifts, including Canada's new leadership, could reshape economic priorities at home and abroad.Understand the long-term implications of Donald Trump's return to the global stage and how Canada must prepare for potential changes in US-Canada relations.Gain clarity on growth opportunities in sectors like power generation, manufacturing, and national defence.ResourcesCIBC's "Smart Advice" Podcast and Website - Website | Apple Podcast | SpotifyThe Raitt StuffVisit CIBC for more Smart Advice, including a recent piece on ‘Navigating uncertainty and market volatility'Episode highlights[00:05] Are Canadians ready for future US-Canada relations?Lisa Raitt is introduced as a former cabinet minister in natural resources, labor, and transportation, now serving as Vice Chair at CIBC Capital Markets.Canadians today face rising global tensions, inflationary pressures, and heightened political transitions which are reshaping economic expectations and policies.Lisa shares her optimism over the clarity offered by Canada's newly elected Prime Minister, Liberal leader Mark Carney, noting the stability—even in a minority government.The current US-Canada relations may shift with Prime Minister Carney's approach, but Lisa warns against overconfidence.Trade negotiations require more than charisma—leaders must find practical ways to provide the U.S. with a political “win” while protecting Canadian interests.[02:24] The rise of economic nationalismLisa outlines how economic nationalism, especially in the US, has led to the weaponization of tariffs and elevated supply chain threats.Canada's dependence on US trade is now seen as both a strength and a potential vulnerability—prompting calls for increased self-reliance.She advocates for doubling down on sectors where Canada already has a comparative advantage: energy, agriculture, mining, and forestry. [08:48] Lisa: “What has happened in the time of Trump is we realize that you can't continue on just accepting the United States growth as the growth that we're going to get; that we actually have to do some work ourselves” Government must play a dual role—advocating for global trade fairness while supporting long-term investment in domestic capacity and infrastructure. [09:31] Understanding Trump's policy visionUnlike previous leaders, Trump's economic policy direction is guided less by data and more by ideology, particularly focused on ‘Made in America' mandates.Lisa emphasizes that traditional counter-arguments (e.g., logic, economic impact) often fall flat with the Trump administration.Trump is unapologetically focused on rebuilding American manufacturing—painful or not—for the long-term benefit of US jobs and industrial strength.Canadian leaders and citizens must stop assuming rational policy shifts or midterm electoral changes in the US will automatically solve trade tensions. [12:18] What's driving American progress?Despite controversial rhetoric, some of Trump's policies—bringing semiconductor production back, advancing nuclear energy—could deliver strategic benefit.The concern lies in whether these wins are drowned out by large-scale costs: fractured alliances, damaged supply chains, and fragile diplomacy.[13:42] Lisa: “When you're presented with a dog's breakfast of tons of different policies, some of them are going to be good. The question, though, is whether or not the overall policy direction is such that it kind of takes away all the wins because the losses are so massive.”Canada's response needs to be realistic, grounded in its own capabilities and long-term values rather than reactive politics. [14:05] Canada: Not the 51st US StateLisa strongly believes in Canadian sovereignty, rejecting the suggestion that Canada could—or should—become the 51st US state.She suggests that the idea may stem from a desire for closer cooperation, but realizing that idea must not come at the cost of Canada's national identity or self-determination.However, it may be beneficial to push for stronger strategic collaboration in areas like North American defence, transportation infrastructure, and trade logistics.According to Lisa, Canada and many other NATO states have neglected their roles in national defence, often relying on U.S. military spending. [18:50] Market trends to watch amidst shifting U.S.-Canada relationsLisa identifies power generation as the backbone of future economic infrastructure—no longer just a policy option but a necessity.Energy constraints are already impacting provincial decisions, signalling  long-term opportunities for investors.Lisa urges Canadian investors to continue trusting expert advisors—and to anchor their portfolios to well-researched macro insights.Branching into sectors like energy, resource extraction, and clean technology offers more stability in an uncertain political environment.Watching how the Carney government navigates energy pipeline development will be crucial; investors should blend pragmatic strategy with public policy foresight. [25:04] Charting a path forward for CanadaLisa remains hopeful yet cautious about the government's ability to deliver meaningful results in the next four years.The speech from the throne will be telling as to whether there's a break from past policy gridlocks toward more resilient, future-focused legislation.Maintaining stable US-Canada relations involves more than policy; we have to remember to distinguish between governments and people.The thickening of the U.S.-Canada border is another sad consequence of political tension, and efforts must be made to restore trust and open channels.About Lisa Lisa Raitt is the Vice Chair at CIBC Capital Markets, bringing decades of experience in navigating economic and political landscapes.

Toronto's ever-important spring real estate market is here and so is Post City Magazines and Streets of Toronto's 18th annual real estate roundtable in partnership with the Rotman School of Management.

Expect to hear from CIBC economist Benjamin Tal, condo king Brad Lamb, business journalist Amanda Lang, real estate agents Barry Cohen and Michael Kalles, interior designer Brian Gluckstein, purpose-built rental developer Adrian Rocca, master of house flipping Kortney Wilson, Home Network host Sebastian Clovis and city builder Salima Rawji.

Thank you to the RE/MAX Collection and Fitzrovia for sponsoring the 2025 Annual Real Estate Roundtable.

It's a tough time to make economic predictions, with tariffs on one side, and new promises from an election campaign on the other. For his assessment, Amanda Lang speaks with Benjamin Tal, Deputy Chief economist at CIBC.

They discuss market dynamics, Fulton Market's emergence and transformation, and ongoing capital markets challenges and opportunities.Share these insights about Chicago real estate: - The Big Split: Chicago's office market is bifurcated: creditworthy occupiers looking for high-quality space will have limited options while much of the rest of the market languishes amid a glut of space. - Important Amenities: Advanced technology, workout facilities and unique features in the best buildings will help attract tenants and draw people back to the office. - Capital Markets Challenges: High costs and limited access to capital have slowed new development significantly, exacerbating the shortage of premium-quality space. - Transportation Networks: Chicago's excellent transportation infrastructure supports its diverse economy and enhances its appeal as a business hub. - Strategic Transformation: Fulton Market has evolved into a vibrant live-work-play area, attracting major tenants and showcasing successful urban redevelopment.

From major banking shifts to the evolving landscape of AI-driven SEO, this episode delivers sharp insights and expert analysis you won't want to miss.* The Bank of Canada's latest interest rate cut—will it actually help the economy?* The power shift in Canadian banking: What CIBC's CEO transition means for the future.* Open banking and AI's role in reshaping the financial landscape.* The rapid rise of AI-driven SEO—how companies are optimizing for large language models.* CoreWeave's massive IPO plans and why John Ruffolo sees echoes of the Nortel bubble.* The brewing U.S.-EU trade war—why Trump's tariff threats could hit Canadian businesses harder than expected.Canada's Banking Future: CIBC's Big Shift (00:04:00)* Victor Dodig steps down as CIBC CEO after 11 years, handing over to Harry Cullum, a capital markets veteran.* The big question: Can Cullum lead CIBC into the digital era, or will traditional banks struggle to keep up with fintech and AI-powered banking?* Why open banking is no longer a threat, but an opportunity for Canada's biggest banks.John Ruffolo's Take:John sees Cullum as a strong leader with deep expertise in digital banking, positioning him well for the transition.

They pumped up revenue, but it was all based on unsustainable deals. Watch this one carefully."As AI reshapes industries, banking undergoes major leadership shifts, and companies scramble to adapt to new digital landscapes, the stakes have never been higher. Will traditional banks successfully embrace open banking and digital transformation, or will fintech disruptors take the lead? Can AI-driven SEO remain a competitive advantage, or will regulators step in to level the playing field? And as CoreWeave pushes toward its high-stakes IPO, is this the beginning of a new tech revolution, or a repeat of past market bubbles? The coming months will reveal whether these trends signal long-term shifts—or short-lived hype. This is a public episode.

Today we were delighted to welcome the Honorable Lisa Raitt, Vice-Chair of Global Investment Banking at CIBC, for an insightful discussion focused on the implications of recent U.S.-Canada trade developments. Lisa joined CIBC Capital Markets in 2020 following an eleven-year tenure in the Government of Canada. Her distinguished career includes serving as Deputy Leader of the Official Opposition and the Conservative Party of Canada, as well as serving as Minister of Natural Resources, Minister of Labor, and Minister of Transport. We were thrilled to host Lisa and hear her valuable perspective on the evolving trade dynamics between the U.S. and Canada. In our conversation, we explore the Canadian view on President Trump's recent comments regarding tariffs and Canada's auto manufacturing industry, along with the broader implications for U.S.-Canada trade relations. We discuss Canada's political landscape, including Prime Minister Trudeau's decision to step down after losing party support, the Conservative Party's growing momentum under Pierre Poilievre, and Canada's economic challenges and growth concerns. We touch on the unifying effect trade tensions have had on Canadian political and business communities, the potential for retaliatory measures, the need for more power generation, transmission, and distribution to support Canada's economic growth, and intra-Canada trade complications that impact Canada's competitiveness. Lisa provides insight into the impact of the Canadian dollar and interest rates, how currency fluctuations affect key sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, and sports, the deep economic and familial ties between the U.S. and Canada, whether ongoing trade disputes could fundamentally alter the relationship between the two countries, and more. We are very thankful to Lisa for sharing her time and perspective. Mike Bradley started off the show by highlighting that President Trump's new tariffs and tariff threats are increasing volatility, but that for the most part, bond and equity markets have been moving sideways. He noted January CPI & PPI will be reported over the next two days which could create added market volatility for bonds and equities. If both inflation reports print cooler-than expected, it will likely lead to intensifying pressure from Trump for the FED to cut interest rates at the March FOMC Meeting. On the crude oil market front, WTI price has rallied this week to ~$73/bbl and crude oil time spreads are pointing to a physically tight oil market. Oil price continues to be impacted by on/off tariff threats and continued OPEC production curtailments but was aided this week on news that Russian oil exports are being impacted by tighter Russian oil sanctions. On the natural gas front, U.S. natural gas prompt price has rebounded to ~$3.50/MMBtu on colder weather and the 12-month natural gas strip is now trading above $4.00/MMBtu. BP indicated on their Q4 call that at current U.S natural gas prices, they were contemplating picking up gas rigs “now” which is a new development. He also noted that European natural gas price was trading at ~$17/MMBtu (~$100/bbl oil equivalent) because European gas storage is draining faster than expected due to colder winter weather and poor renewable performance/utilization. He ended by flagging Equinor's recent strategy shift (significant reduction in renewables capex thru 2030) and also noted that BP is calling for a “fundamental reset” of their strategy at their Capital Markets Day (Feb 26th). Robert Kester added his thoughts on AI's dominance in global discourse, highlighting this week's high-profile AI Summit in Paris and different global approaches to AI, including the U.S.'s free-market stance, Europe's push for regulation, and China's state-backed AI expansion. We hope you all enjoy the discussion with Lisa as much as we did. Our best to you all – and to our friends up north, let's work this out, eh!

At the start of 2024, there was a lot of speculation in the real estate industry about the bank of Canada cutting its prime rate throughout the year. Indsutries spent a lot of time projecting the Bank of Canada's interest rate policy cuts throughout the year. Andrew Hutchison from IndI Mortgages and I sat down to go through CIBC's head economist, Ben Tull, projections of the Bank of Canada interest rate cuts throughout the year, and to discuss the impact these potential cuts may have on Halifax's real estate market. 2024 ended with a bang with the Bank of Canada cutting its prime lending rate by 50 basis points in October 2024 and another 50 basis points in December 2024, making it a total of 1.75 basis points cut in 2024. Andrew's back to review the year in interest rate cuts, the impact on Halifax's real estate market, and our projections for further cuts in 2025. Enjoy!Jason Paul902-220-7357jason@infinityrealestategroup.ca@jasonpaulhalifaxrealtor Andrew Hutchison902-240-7212andrew@hutchisonmortgages.ca

According to a poll this month from CIBC, paying down debt is the top financial priority for Canadians in 2025.And nearly a third of those surveyed said they took on more debt in the last 12 months because of the cost of living. For many, 2025 will also see mortgage payments go up, with over 1 million Canadians facing a mortgage renewal this year. Our question: How are you dealing with personal debt? What questions do you have?
