Podcast appearances and mentions of ed rempel

This is a personal post and my first post with a request. My wife, life partner and business partner, Ann Hetram, passed away unexpectedly from cancer 2 months ago.  She received excellent care at Princess Margaret Hospital, which is the best cancer hospital in Canada. In her honour, I am co-captain of a team in the Journey to Conquer Cancer walk to support research at Princess Margaret Hospital.  My team is the Harbour Square Team for my condo building. The walk is on Sunday, June 15 at 9 AM. It starts at the University of Toronto, Varsity Stadium, 299 Bloor Street West, Toronto. Donations support breakthrough research, supporting over 1,600 researchers and scientists working on innovative projects, such as early detection methods, personalized cancer treatments, and immunotherapy advancements. Ann's cancer was classified as an “unknown tumor”. She received a personalized cancer treatment including immunotherapy. I'm hopeful that with your support, research will advance to help others facing rare cancers like hers. Whether you walk with us, join virtually, or donate — every step and every dollar counts. Thank you, Ed  

I am heartbroken. My wife, life partner & business partner Ann Hetram passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, March 30. Ann was truly one of a kind — wise, intuitive, endlessly generous, and the heart of everything we built together.  We shared our life, our work, our friends, and our dreams. We were together 35 years, and many years together 24/7, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I've created this tribute — a YouTube video, podcast episode, and blog post to honour Ann's incredible life.  Our life together and what she means to me. Her unique qualities. Some of the excessively generous acts she has done. I call them “Ann's Acts of Kindness”. If you have a story about Ann, your relationship with her, or you have an example of Ann's Acts of Kindness, I want to hear these stories. They are my most treasured thoughts about Ann. If you want to share them at her Celebration of Life, please tell me so we can put you on the list. You could also just tell me at the reception, or email me the story so I have it forever. We will have a Celebration of Life reception in Ann's honour on Thursday, April 17. The actual gathering to share stories about Ann is at 3 PM, followed by an informal reception until 8 PM. Bring your stories with Ann. It's casual dress. Here's a link to my special post about Ann: https://edrempel.com/celebrating-the-life-of-ann-hetram/ With love,  Ed

When we first hit our financial independence number 8 years ago, one of the financial planners that I asked to look at our numbers before my wife and I quit our full-time jobs was Ed Rempel. At the time, I asked Ed if he could do his own math and analysis on our numbers, to make sure that I didn't miscalculate something when I was doing it myself, and this way I could be certain that my wife and I could quit our jobs and live off our portfolio going forward. Well, fast forward to today, it's been around 8 years since we quit our full-time jobs, and so I thought it would be helpful to have Ed back on the show and to once again use us as a case study on how one can live off their portfolio in a sustainable, stress free, and tax efficient way, here in Canada. On this episode, you're going to learn what strategies and frameworks tend to work when it comes to living off your portfolio here in Canada. You'll learn about a big mistake that I made which was actually causing me money anxiety even though our investment portfolio was going up in value. Ed helped me get through that, and it's a mistake that is actually totally avoidable, and a skill that you can start building and mastering today. And, when it comes to a strategy for paying the least amount of tax in Canada, Ed takes us through two main strategies that you can choose depending on your situation so that you pay the least amount of tax throughout your lifetime. We cover all this and much more in the interview. Links, show notes and free resources are all available at BuildWealthCanada.ca.

I've talked with thousands of Canadians that will not have the life they want because their advisor gave them bad advice. Why do they stick with their advisor? I've heard it over and over again. They say: “because he's a nice guy”. The advice here is, you need a competent advisor & real advice, not a nice advisor. A competent advisor might be really great to work with too, but this is the type of advice you need, so you should beware of who you trust with your finances. In my latest podcast episode I give you ideas on how to discover if you're currently working with a “nice” advisor, and what type of financial advice you really need for a successful and secure retirement.  Listen to find out: How does a “nice” advisor kill your financial future? Signs you got caught up in the “nice” advisor trap. What's wrong with staying with a nice advisor? Why don't advisors give real advice? What is real advice? Why does everyone need a Financial Plan? Top 4 reasons for not getting a financial plan. Benefits of having a financial plan.    

How can you get above index returns? Index funds and ETFs deliver below index returns. With global equities, their returns are typically 0.5 or 1% below the index. So how can you beat the index?

How most people pick funds vs the skilful way to do it. The best way to identify the skill of a fund manager. Why Ed's skill isn't in predicting funds, but in choosing the right fund managers. How many fund managers Ed Rempel's team has chosen who have beaten the index. Why you want to work with the Tom Brady or Warren Buffet of investing.

Welcome to the Unconventional Podcast with Ed Rempel.

In this episode, I interview one of the most experienced Canadian financial planners that I know, and who I tend to go to when I have any complex tax and financial planning questions. His name is Ed Rempel, and in this episode, we tackle: How to determine how much you need to be financially independent? What are some sustainable withdrawal strategies that you can use to not run out of money when you're living off your investments? How to pay less tax here in Canada And much, much more.  Thanks so much for tuning in, and please remember to leave a rating on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you enjoy the show.  Here are all the questions we cover in the interview: When somebody is trying to determine how much they need to be financially independent and have the option of retiring, what is the process that should be undertaken to figure this out? What are some of the sustainable withdrawal strategies that you recommend, for those looking to live off their portfolio? Have you ever used some type of variable withdrawal strategy with your clients where the amount withdrawn every year to live off the portfolio varies depending on how the markets did that year? Have you ever done any sort of variable withdrawal strategies like using a spending ceiling and floor for the year? For those that don't feel comfortable going with 100% equities, what do you recommend? Do you change your recommendation depending on what is happening in the bond market? (like with the recent drops)? What is the process and calculations that you do annually with clients to ensure that they are withdrawing a sustainable amount from their portfolio every year? When it comes to tax planning and making sure that we're paying the least amount of tax when living off the investment portfolio, are there any strategies or approaches that you'd recommend? For those that want to read or watch more of your research and insights, what's the best place for them to go? You have so many resources on your website, a YouTube channel with how-to's, where people can learn all about creating a financial plan. Why is it important to also work one-on-one with a financial planner like yourself for example? You have been in this industry for multiple decades. Would you be able to recommend some resources online that you find to be reliable and reputable sources of information, for those that like to continue to educate themselves when it comes to financial planning, retirement planning, and investing in Canada?

Today I have Brandon Beavis on the show who runs one of, if not THE largest YouTube channels on investing, specifically for Canadians. He has over 187,000 subscribers, and also runs the channel with his dad who has decades of financial planning experience here in Canada.  Since Brandon and I have each been optimizing our finances and investments for so long, and since we each specialize in this, we thought it would be fun to do a collaboration where we each share how we've optimized our investments and finances so that everybody watching on his channel and listening on my podcast can get two different perspectives and ways of doing things. Then you can pick and choose whatever you think is a better fit for you, and what you think will have the biggest impact on your finances.

Ed Rempel is a fee-for-service financial planner and tax accountant, as well as a popular and passionate blogger. He has written hundreds of articles to educate the public on his unique insights and strategies that actually work, instead of the “conventional wisdom” common in the financial services industry and the media.

In my interview with Ed, we discuss managing risks of the Smith Manoeuvre, tax issues you need to be aware of and what happens once your mortgage is paid off.

He is a Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Professional Accountant, and Certified Hedge Fund Specialist. Ed has spent the majority of his life actually creating comprehensive financial plans for Canadians and continuously building his knowledge base to help his clients reach financial freedom in the most optimal and efficient way.

http://www.alainguillot.com/ed-rempel/ Ed Rempel from Unconventional Wisdom, is a financial blogger, a fee-for-service financial planner, and a tax accountant. His knowledge comes from helping thousands of Canadians with their financial plans. He creates solutions tailored for each particular client as opposed to a cookie cutter formula used by most of the financial industry. His mission is to help his clients and protect them from the “financial quackery” - sales pitches by unscrupulous financial product pushers more concerned with making a sale than helping a client. His experience includes: 25 years as a fee-for-service financial planner professional. 15 years as a financial blogger 35 years as a tax accountant. Writing comprehensive and personal financial plans for nearly 1,000 families. Helping more than 600 clients follow their financial plans. Managing more than $100 million in investments. We spoke about: "The Fake Financial Plan." Most advisors make their clients answer some questions, input the answers in a computer, and a 5-10 minutes later, there is a printout with beautiful color pages, a cover page, numerous graphs and charts, where the final recommendation is to buy the products of the company employing the adviser. We build a scenario where recently landed immigrant wants to know how to invest in Canada Open a bank account Open a TFSA and an RRSP account Prioritize the TFSA if earning less than $50,000 If the person doesn't save any money, the government will help but the help will be limited After a person has contributed the max to their RRSP and TFSA, the next thing is to invest in non-registered accounts For the stock sector, avoid Mutual funds with high expense fees. Favor low-cost index funds and ETFs. Avoid individual stocks

Today, we're going to tackle the debate of whether you should focus on growth vs dividends when it comes to your investing. Dividends are of course very popular. Everybody likes having that passive cashflow show up in their accounts, but are we limiting our net worth if we focus too much on dividends, as opposed to choosing a more balanced and growth-oriented portfolio? In this episode, we'll also talk about how to best withdraw money from your investment portfolio, and how to decide if you should be withdrawing from your equities, your bonds, or your cash cushion instead. We also talk about changing interest rates, and the impact that you can expect them to have on your portfolio, as well as some tips on what to choose for the bond portion of your portfolio. For this episode, I'm excited to have Ed Rempel back on the show, who is one of the top financial planners that I go to whenever I have questions or need a second opinion about my investments, financial planning or on how to minimize my taxes. He's been a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) Professional for over 22 years, and he's been a professional accountant for over 33 years with a CPA and CMA designation. Personally, I found that when I ask him questions, his decades of experience as BOTH a financial planner AND a professional accountant really helps me feel secure that he has all the bases covered, as he has a holistic view from both of those worlds due to all that experience. He's also written nearly 1,000 financial plans for Canadians over that time so he's truly as experienced as it gets in this field, and he has extensive knowledge on some of the higher-level investment strategies out there.
