Seif explains why private assets—private equity, private credit, and private real estate—are becoming essential components of modern investment portfolios. He discusses how institutional-grade private investments have become accessible to retail investors, debunks myths about risk and illiquidity, and outlines how these assets can enhance diversification, generate uncorrelated returns, and offer a more stable investment experience.

Purpose Investments portfolio manager Nicholas Mersch spoke to Proactive on his outlook, based on reports he has compiled with HANetf, for the clean energy and enterprise software markets.

HANzero is Europe's first carbon offset exchange traded fund. It gives environmentally conscious investors the opportunity to target capital growth with the reassurance that any carbon emissions linked to their investment will be offset through HANzero, HANetf's carbon offset program and South Pole, a certified and audited carbon offset provider.

News BTC 01 Gli investitori stanno rapidamente scaricando oro per Bitcoin, afferma l'analista di Bloomberg.

McGlone ha rivelato su Twitter che Bitcoin sta diventando il negozio di valore preferito. Secondo lui, mentre il metallo giallo rimarrà una scelta eccellente per le collezioni di gioielli e monete, Bitcoin lo sta sostituendo come copertura contro l'inflazione. News BTC 02 Il Canada si prepara per il terzo ETF Bitcoin. Appena un mese dopo aver approvato due ETF Bitcoin, le autorità di regolamentazione canadesi ne hanno approvato un terzo, che verrà lanciato domani. Il prodotto Bitcoin è stato lanciato da CI Global Asset Management e dovrebbe essere disponibile domani, 9 marzo. Sarà scambiato alla Borsa di Toronto con il simbolo BTCX. Come riportato da BTC PEERS, i regolatori canadesi hanno dato a Purpose Investments il via libera per lanciare il suo prodotto ETF Bitcoin a febbraio.

November 9, 2019 - Som Seif, CEO Purpose Investments on Robo-Advisors and do-it-yourself investing. Dan Mikulskis, partner, Lane, Clark and Peacock and author of Real Returns Blog on keeping clients away from money mistakes and fear-based financial decisions.

In this episode, I (Dan) interview a past deal partner who now studies actuarial science and spent time in the retail investment analytical space with Purpose Investments. We unpack the concept of the retail apocalypse and explore some of the many fates it could arrive at. This ends up being a pretty qualitative discussion in regards to the nature of artisanal retail and how malls converting to "lifestyle centres" could ultimately demand a more mindful consumer, where the online world is tailored to convenience and quantity, and the retail environment is tailored to experience and quality. I hope you enjoy this episode, and I'd love it if you could leave me some feedback in the comments or on twitter @WTFoch.

Catch the Purpose Investments guys, Nicholas Mersch & Nawan Butt, chat about some hot millennial sectors - cannabis, fintech, and eSports!

We recently sat down with Som Seif, Founder and CEO of Purpose Investments, to catch up with him on markets and strategy. In this episode, we discuss the Fed's about face on interest rates, and what it may mean for investors. But more relevant in this conversation was the angle of discussion on where and how investors/advisors may posiition fixed income and equities for total return in the acutely uncertain period we find ourselves in. Conventional bond investing are now a high risk, low return proposition for most investors today. What's a fixed income solution that works right now? What does the optimal equity investments sleeve look like to Seif right now. These are some of the points we chatted about. More detailed show notes to follow.

Want to start investing, but not sure how? Or maybe you are investing, but aren't completely sure if you're doing it right? You're in luck, because I've got the king of ETFs Som Seif on the show to discuss how to build wealth by investing in ETFs and following a few of important rules of thumb too. Long description: I hope you’re ready to get your investing knowledge on, because for this episode I’m joined by the king of ETFs Som Seif! To give you some background on Som in case you’re unfamiliar with his importance in the investing world, he is currently the founder and CEO of Purpose Investments Inc., which he formed after he sold his first company Claymore Investments to Blackrock Inc. in March 2012. You may be familiar with Blackrock as they offer a number of great ETFs you’re probably already invested in, and the same goes for Som’s new company Purpose Investments. Now, Som started his Claymore Investments in 2005 because although he had been an investment banker with RBC Capital Markets since 1999, he wanted to be able to really help individual investors by making low-cost ETFs more accessible. And he continues to do so with his new company Purpose Investments, and shares more helpful tips to investors of all ages in this episode. How Much You Should Invest If you’re just starting out, meaning you’ve recently finished school and are working full-time, Som suggests investing 15-20% of your net income. You’re at such a great stage in life where your cost of living is low (even if your salary is too), but the money you invest this early in life will have a huge, positive impact on your future. If you wait to invest later in life, then make sure to boost that percentage to hit your target end goal. How to Invest It’s great knowing how much to invest, but a better question is how to invest? Luckily there are some great options now with all the robo-advisors out there, which is one way Som suggests can be a great way to invest your money. He really does believe in robo-advisors since he was one of the founders of Wealthsimple, and believes in making investing in low-cost ETFs simple for every type of investor. Or, if you’d rather work with an investment advisor, you may need to have a greater some of money to do so, but it may be what you’re looking for in terms of getting specific guidance and management. Then again, you may want to be fully in control, which means you’ll want to go the self-directed route and pick your own portfolio and manage it using a discount brokerage. Don’t Be Scared off by Investing We dive into some deep subjects like crypto, blockchain and the future of investing, and honestly it was even intimidating to talk about with Som myself, but that’s something that Som wants to make sure doesn’t happen. Investing isn’t hard and you shouldn’t be scared off by new technologies and new strategies emerging. You need to arm yourself with information, because as you and I both know, the best way to rid yourself of fear and worry is to educate yourself. One way to do that is to follow his suggestion by reading books by Benjamin Graham to have a better foundational understanding of investing. 3 Key Things You Need to Do to Be a Smart Investor As Som mentioned, investing isn’t hard. Here are the 3 key things he suggests for any investor’s success: Build a portfolio of strong assets that perform well Keep costs low Stay diversified Start Investing Now The biggest take-away from this episode is that investing is incredibly important to take part in. It shouldn’t be something you delay until your 30s or 40s. The sooner you start investing in life, the better off you’ll be in the future. Moreover, you’ll also become more confident and feel more secure with your finances my having a solid plan for retirement and your other financial goals. So if you just got your first job out of school, make sure to invest some of that first paycheque. If you’re further along than that in your career, there’s no better time to start than today!
