In this episode of the Global Thinking podcast, host Rob Duncan sits down with Forstrong CEO and CIO, Tyler Mordy, to unpack a rowdy stretch in markets and politics. From Canada's recent election to Trump's tariff tantrums, the conversation dives into how economic confidence has taken a hit on both sides of the border. But while Canada seems to be finding it's way with new leadership and domestic competition; American markets wrestle with political uncertainty and slowing economic data. Capital is quietly on the move finding greener pastures in Europe and Asia.   With European fiscal stimulus acting as a catalyst, global sentiment is shifting quickly. Tyler makes the case for investors to roll up their sleeves, rebalance portfolios, and lean into global diversification. It's a timely conversation filled with sharp insights and a reminder that when markets get volatile it pays to maintain a global perspective.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Global Thinking Podcast (01:06) Canadian Politics and Election Outcomes (05:09) Macroeconomic Trends in Canada (12:37) US Market Dynamics and MAG-7 (20:15) International Economic Opportunities and Desynchronization (25:31) Economic Performance Overview (27:54) International Markets: A New Catalyst for Growth (30:42) Navigating Uncertainty: Investor Sentiment and Strategy (35:19) The Importance of Global Diversification (38:27) Personal Insights and Future Outlook   Disclosures: https://forstrong.com/disclosures/   Global Thinking Podcast Series - https://forstrong.com/podcast/   Global Thinking Insights - https://forstrong.com/insights/   Who is Forstrong Global - https://forstrong.com/who-we-are/   Ask Forstrong - https://forstrong.com/category/ask-forstrong/   Invest With Us - https://forstrong.com/invest-with-us/      For any questions, comments or suggestions please reach out to Rob Duncan, rduncan@forstrong.com 

In this episode of the Global Thinking podcast, host Rob Duncan sits down with Adam Payne, President and Chief Compliance Officer of Kinsted Wealth, for a deep dive into the evolving world of alternative investments. With market uncertainty and traditional asset classes facing headwinds, alternatives have taken center stage—but how can investors truly access them? Rob and Adam explore the critical role of manager selection, due diligence, and industry trends shaping the space. From challenges in accessibility to Kinsted's vision for democratizing alternatives, this episode offers valuable insights for investors looking to expand their portfolios beyond the conventional. As alternative investments gain traction, understanding what truly defines them—and how they fit into a diversified portfolio—has never been more important. Adam shares why Kinsted Wealth has embraced this shift, emphasizing the need for strong manager selection and the hurdles of liquidity and accessibility that individual investors face. With growing interest in alternatives, education remains key for both investors and advisors looking to navigate this complex yet promising space.   Chapters: 01:07 Exploring Alternative Investments 05:43 Defining Alternative Investments 08:06 The Role of Alternatives in Portfolios 10:59 Manager Selection and Due Diligence 16:34 Access to Alternative Investments 20:24 Industry Trends in Alternatives 26:43 Lessons Learned and Challenges in Alternatives 31:34 Future Developments at Kinsted Wealth   Disclosures: https://forstrong.com/disclosures/  Global Thinking Podcast Series - https://forstrong.com/podcast/  Global Thinking Insights - https://forstrong.com/insights/  Who is Forstrong Global - https://forstrong.com/who-we-are/  Ask Forstrong - https://forstrong.com/category/ask-forstrong/  Invest With Us - https://forstrong.com/invest-with-us/

Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Rob Duncan about the Barmen Declaration of May 1934, a confession of faith declared by pastors, theologians and lay leaders during the “German Church Struggle” in Nazi Germany. Reviewing the Declaration's context and the involvement of theologians Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Rob explores its meaning and lessons for church and society in our own moment of geopolitical volatility. While Barmen is now an historical artifact, its fidelity to Christian witness has renewed significance now as multiple ideologies struggle to redefine the nature of democracy. Its insistence on confession and repentance as critical Christian responses to our own unravelling remains a prophetic challenge to the church.Rob Duncan served for years as a Baptist pastor in the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec convention, having been ordained in Toronto in 1984. He has for more than a dozen years been an Anglican, in an official position in the Diocese of Niagara since 2019. Ordained a priest in 2023, he is now retired from parish ministry. His wider ministry focus remains spiritual formation at the local parish level. While deepening his own personal practice of spiritual disciplines, Rob continues to explore the intersection of spirituality and theology and provides training in spiritual formation to groups of lay people. Since February of this year, he has been working behind the scenes as a volunteer for Leaving Egypt from his home in Niagara Falls.- Links -For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/abouthttps://www.themissionalnetwork.com/author/alan-roxburgh/https://journalofmissionalpractice.com/alan-roxburghTwitter: https://twitter.com/alanjroxburgh?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkJoining God in the Great Unraveling https://www.amazon.ca/Joining-God-Great-Unraveling-Learned/dp/1725288508/ref=sr_1_Leadership, God's Agency and Disruptions https://www.amazon.ca/Leadership-Gods-Agency-Disruptions-Confronting/dp/1725271745/refJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our Time https://www.amazon.ca/Joining-Remaking-Church-Changing-World/dp/0819232114/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2NHGW8KB7L0SQ&keywords=Alan+J+Roxburgh&qid=1687098960&s=books&sprefix=alan+j+roxburgh%2Cstripbooks%2C130&sr=1-3For Jenny Sinclair:Website: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/For Rob Duncan:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/rob-duncan-b7815414bSubstack: Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Financial technology, or Fintech, in Canada has traditionally trailed behind the U.S. by nearly a decade. Until recently, even basic processes like virtual onboarding were rare in Canada, where advisors and clients often dealt with stacks of paper for signatures and mailed-off documents. But a global pandemic has accelerated change, bringing digital solutions and smartphone-driven client experiences to the forefront.   In this episode of Global Thinking, Rob sits down with Oliver Yoon, Head of Harness Investment Management, to explore the rapidly evolving Canadian Fintech landscape. Together, they discuss Oliver's extensive experience in finance, Harness's mission to empower advisors with independent investment solutions, and how technology is transforming client interactions. They also dive into the role of AI in financial services and the exciting future for advisors embracing innovation.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:07 Oliver Career in Finance 06:24 Understanding Harness and Its Role 09:56 The Importance of Independence in Canada 13:02 A Fintech Solution for Advisors 18:29 AI's Role in Financial Services 20:29 Future Opportunities for Harness 22:24 Competition and Unique Offerings 24:33 Personal Insights and Closing Remarks   Disclosures: https://forstrong.com/disclosures/ Global Thinking Podcast Series - https://forstrong.com/podcast/ Global Thinking Insights - https://forstrong.com/insights/  Who is Forstrong Global - https://forstrong.com/who-we-are/ Ask Forstrong - https://forstrong.com/category/ask-forstrong/ Invest With Us - https://forstrong.com/invest-with-us/  

Over the past year, China has grappled with escalating challenges—from a real estate meltdown to tech crackdowns and slowing growth—leading many investors to deem the country "un-investable." However, recent policy moves from Beijing, including significant interest rate cuts and liquidity injections, may point to a major inflection point ahead.   In this episode, Rob Duncan speaks with Forstrong's Research Analyst, Shibo Gu, on the ground in Northern China. Together, they unpack the latest stimulus measures and their potential impact on investors eyeing opportunities in the world's second-largest economy. Is this renewed optimism justified, or should caution still prevail?   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to China's Economic Landscape 03:28 Stimulus Measures and Their Implications 08:42 Investment Opportunities in the Wake of Stimulus 12:04 Market Outlook and Investor Sentiment 18:09 On-the-Ground Insights from China   www.forstrong.com   Forstrong Insights   Previous posts on visiting China.

When asked about the prognosis for markets, American financier J. P. Morgan once famously quipped, “they will fluctuate”.   That statement is not meant to be dismissive of recent market volatility: the first half of 2024 has faced a long list of new realities from an AI fervour to contentious global elections. But, today more than ever, wealth accumulation demands a focus on fundamentals and looking beyond recent hype. Currently, there are historic opportunities to pivot into new investment themes as markets find a new footing and fresh macroeconomic trends emerge.   In this discussion, Rob Duncan, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Manager & Lead ESG Officer, sits down with Forstrong Portfolio Manager, Terry Shaunessy, to explore where investors might be succumbing to market exuberance and identifying strategies to navigate volatility while achieving their financial objectives.   Disclosures: https://forstrong.com/disclosures/   Global Thinking Podcast Forstrong Insights Forstrong Dashboard: Gone Till November 5 Minute Macro: Is the Trump Trade On?

Everyone is talking about Nvidia. Just 2 years ago the stock was worth a mere $400 billion. Now, depending on the time of day, it is worth somewhere around $3 trillion and was briefly the most valuable company in the world. Investors should not overcomplicate things here: Nvidia and the broader AI theme are in the midst of a speculative mania.   Of course, we have been here before. Investment stories, much like the current one, can be intoxicating and lure every last investor into the trade. During such times, diversification seems unnecessary. Who wants it when “one and done” portfolio decisions look so easy? Yet, investors invariably paying heavily for having taken on concentrated risk exposures. The late 1990s are a prime example.   At times like this, it is always useful to revisit the role of the portfolio manager: why do clients pay us to manage their wealth? It is not for flawless clairvoyance. Rather, we are paid to anticipate probable risks, prepare for opportunities and, importantly, not lose our proverbial minds when everyone else has lost theirs. In the latest podcast, Rob Duncan, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Manager & Lead ESG Officer, sits down with Tyler Mordy, CEO & CIO of Forstrong, to discuss the recent volatility in Nvidia and implications for the broader market.   Global Thinking Podcast Forstrong Insights Forstrong Quarterly Rebalance Q3 2024 Ask Forstrong: A Postcard from Mexico 5 Minute Macro: Election Waves and Market Moves Forstrong Dashboard: Metals Rockin' Out Ask Forstrong: Emerging Markets, The Bull is Back Forstrong Dashboard: Feeling EM Boldened Ask Forstrong: A Broadening Bull Market?

Total assets now stand at more than $432 billion with 1407 ETFs to choose from.

Interview with Rob Duncan, VP Exploration, and Jason Weber, President & CEO of Silver North Resources Ltd.Recording date: 3rd April 2024Silver North Resources (formerly Alianza Minerals) is a silver-focused exploration company offering investors an attractive opportunity to gain exposure to the increasingly bullish silver market. The company's flagship Haldane project is located in the historic Keno Hill silver camp in the Yukon, which has produced over 200 million ounces of high-grade silver since 1913.Despite its location in a prolific district, Haldane remains largely underexplored by modern standards. Silver North has begun to unlock the project's potential with new high-grade discoveries in an area previously written off by the industry. Drilling has returned intercepts averaging 1,351 g/t silver, 2.43% lead and 2.91% zinc at 5.24 m, confirming the presence of Keno Hill style mineralization.Importantly, Haldane benefits from the same geological setting and mineralization model as the district's past-producing mines now being restarted by major U.S. silver producer Hecla Mining. Exploration success by Hecla, including a 22% increase in silver reserves last year, demonstrates the significant upside potential that still exists in the Keno Hill district. With Haldane hosting the same style of high-grade silver veins, Silver North is well positioned to make further discoveries and delineate a meaningful resource.The company is now looking to raise C$2 million to fund a 2,000m drill program at Haldane this year targeting extensions of the West Fault and Main Zone discoveries. Silver North also has a second Yukon project being advanced by partner Coeur Mining which provides additional discovery leverage for investors.As Silver North CEO Jason Weber explained, these two "mega trends" are creating a strong fundamental backdrop for silver explorers and producers. Combine that with a tight share structure, experienced management and significant discovery potential at Haldane, and Silver North presents an attractive speculation for investors looking to leverage the silver market.Silver North offers exposure to an increasingly compelling macro story for silver. Demand is expected to grow significantly in the coming years driven by silver's key role in the green economy, particularly in solar power and electric vehicles. This is coinciding with ongoing safe haven demand amid heightened geopolitical risks. While the company still needs to raise funds to fully drill out Haldane, the pieces are falling into place for a potential rerating as the silver price continues to strengthen. If the drills can deliver this year, Silver North could be positioned to unlock the value of one of the highest-grade and most prospective new silver projects in Canada.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/silver-north-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Silicon Valley's scrappy attitude of “move fast and break things” not only became standard start-up advice over the last decade, but quickly evolved into a global movement for the technology sector.  Yet, a rich irony has emerged. It turns out that customers can also move fast and break things. Last Thursday, depositors at Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) pulled $42 billion and, in a matter of hours on Friday, became the second largest bank failure in US history. Tune into Forstrong's latest podcast, where Rob Duncan sits down with Tyler Mordy to discuss the investment implications of these developments, including the following views: Forstrong's continuing negative outlook on the technology sector (Super Trend 3: Silicon Valley's Hangover). Reasons why a wider financial contagion, similar to 2008, is unlikely.  Why international assets will benefit from broken structural trendlines.

It has been a long string of surprises over the last year. The Fed was surprised inflation wasn't transitory. Investors were surprised to see the fastest rate hikes since the 1980s. Economists are now surprised we aren't in a recession.   Yet, in our view, the biggest surprise continues to be the resilience of the global economy – despite higher interest rates, economic growth has continued to chug along.   Where to from here? Our investment team continues to believe that this is a very different environment from the 2010s, when the market consistently over-estimated growth and inflation. The 2020s will be exactly the opposite: markets will now consistently underestimate growth and inflation.   In this episode Rob Duncan sits down with Forstrong CIO, Tyler Mordy, to discuss economic resiliency, opportunities in commodity exporting Emerging Markets and the growth boom now starting to unfold in Asia-Pacific.  

The topic that everyone has an opinion on — creative awards. One of the most contentious conversations in the industry, you either love them or hate them. Which is exactly where our guests stand this week. We're asking those who've won them, lost them, judged them and scorned them some of the questions we all want answered.How can you judge something so subjective? Are the projects real? Are judges biased towards the studios & clients? Is it just a money-making exercise? How does it impact our teams? Do our clients care? Rob Duncan, Creative Director at Mucho, believes they enable him to hire the best talent in the world and help the studio cast a critical eye over the work they're making. But that remote judging has lowered the standards of the shortlists.Mitch Paone, Partner & Creative Director at DIA, has boycotted them entirely. Believing they're a business first & foremost. And having been in the judging room, he thinks bias runs too deep to ever be truly objective when choosing the winners.Katherina Tudball, Creative Director at Superunion, sees the good in them. A chance to celebrate good ideas and your team's hard work. Having been involved for years, she shares the criteria for jury selection and what it's like narrowing down a year of industry hard work.Alice Ishiguro Tosey, Independent Creative, sits on the fence, acknowledging that getting them early in your career opens doors, but that the mental health repercussions of rejection have a long-lasting impact.And ultimately, are the people who hate them, just bitter because they don't win them?* It's not won any awards.–Hosted & created by Katie CadwellEdited by James from Be HeardOriginal music 'Theme From NDA' by Jamie Ellul & Toby McLaren Hosted on Acast.

Viewing the globe, we note a very unusual situation — most likely attributable to the post-Covid rebound. For the first time on record, developed nations have been growing faster than global GDP growth. And global growth is currently faster than that of emerging countries. This must resolve itself in one way or another. What will be the likely outcome? Rob Duncan speaks with Forstrong Portfolio Manager, David Kletz, to discuss their recent rebalance and whether or not the reflationary trade still has room to run. 

What happens when the world is cooped up — in some cases against its will — for more than a year? We are now getting answers to this global experiment. To no one's surprise, it turns out many are increasingly unwilling to delay gratification which has sent inflation soaring all around the world. Rob Duncan sits down with Forstrong's CIO, Tyler Mordy, to discuss how the pandemic is creating an inflationary regime shift with lasting impacts few can predict. 

Has crypto-mania gone too far? Naysayers have an almost unlimited arsenal of reasons why this bubble will pop and leave investors in a wake of devastation. Citing everything from security issues to regulation, environmental impact to the explosion of offerings, these things should come with a warning label. In a recent Ask Forstrong, The Cryptocurrency Bug: Catch Me if You Can, our CIO, Tyler Mordy, hammers home these warnings with cold hard facts. Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile. Investors have lost billions in fraud and theft. There are now 4000 currency offerings claiming to be the future. And, last but not least, government regulation is cracking down to thwart tax-evaders and black market participants. Warning label firmly attached. Yet many investors still have burning questions. Will cryptos impact my life and should I care about them? This is a much harder question to answer. To tackle this question Rob Duncan sits down with Reza Samahin, Portfolio Manager and Professional Engineer, to provide insights into blockchain protocol, currency mining, differences between Bitcoin and Ethereum, smart contracts and decentralized finance. We made the pivot from cryptocurrencies as the future of fiat to providing a future benefit and financial utility.
