Today on the show portfolio manager Joe Overdevest sits down with host Pamela Ritchie to discuss trends in the third quarter and what investors could expect in the remaining quarter of the year and even into 2025. Joe says even though interest rate cuts are happening, investors are waiting for more certainty in the markets before buying. He adds that some people try to time the market, but companies over time grow their earnings and the stock price usually follows, which highlights the power of compounding. For 2025, Joe says the economic picture is looking decent. He says with high level of earnings growth for this year and next year at around 10% for the US and Canada plus inflation in Canada and the US trending close to 3% and GDP growth in the US at around 3%, the US and Canadian economies seem to be on the right path. Joe also highlights the current energy picture.  With a drop in oil prices and fading optimism around China's efforts to boost its economy, this has weighed heavily on energy and materials.  He says the demand for commodities will be higher in the future and China is currently 10 to 50% of the demand depending on the commodity. Nuclear could be a solution for an energy transition, but it will take time. Joe adds natural gas could be a short-term solution for increasing electricity demand.   Recorded on October 9, 2024.   At Fidelity, our mission is to build a better future for Canadian investors and help them stay ahead.

Joining us on the show today to cover a wide range of topics including commodities, natural resources and main takeaways from the earnings season is Portfolio manager of Global Natural Resources Joe Overdevest. Joe gives an overview of what's happening in the economy. He notes the US economy is doing better than Canada. There is a focus on technology where corporations are seeing where they can spend on new technologies including AI. Resources in general are doing well, but it's mostly dividend and buybacks that interest shareholders in this industry. Joe also touches on oil, energy, and metals like copper. He comments on the short versus long-term investing strategies. He says the thought is copper and oil will perform in a short-term. The main driver is GDP. US GDP is a driver for energy. China's GDP is the main driver for base metals. The long-term perspective is that governments want to go carbon neutral while energy companies might not feel comfortable transitioning to that. In Canada, we are waiting to be carbon neutral even if Canada is a leader in the energy sector.    Recorded on May 27, 2024   At Fidelity, our mission is to build a better future for Canadian investors and help them stay ahead.

Some business leaders have a seemingly psychic ability to spot trends, and take them mainstream at just the right moment. Ron Shaich is one of those. As a pioneering force behind fast-casual dining, Shaich saw that a growing number of Americans craved higher quality food in a relaxed yet speedy setting. His first major company, Au Bon Pain, paved the way for the meteoric rise of Panera Bread, with more than 2,000 locations nationwide. An accidental start running a convenience store first showed Ron the power of business to enact change. And his curiosity about trends and pattern recognition has fueled the growth of his businesses for decades. These forces have led to Ron Shaich upending how we eat like few others.

Today's guest has had one of the broadest and most diverse careers of anyone I have interviewed. Today Kera McDonald is the Chief Underwriting Officer of Swiss Re Corporate Solutions but over more than 25 years she has been an actuary and a pensions consultant, a risk manager, an aviation underwriter and a senior executive in an internal audit team. I'd say that unique blend of experience is an excellent preparation for her current role, particularly as Swiss Re Corporate Solutions moves out of its remediation phase into a period of sustainable growth. Kera is direct and easy to talk to and in this podcast we discuss the state of the global insurance market and Corporate Solutions' strategy within it as well as this unique business's position within its wider group and the applications of technology and artificial intelligence as the market digitises. She doesn't duck any difficult questions and is excellent and incredibly well-informed company. I really benefitted from my time with Kera and I think you will too. NOTES: A couple of abbreviations slipped through: PYD stands for Prior Year claims Development. And of course, CorSo is an abbreviation of Swiss Re Corporate Solutions itself..
