Podcasts about Wealthsimple

In this episode, we break down a packed week of macro, market and stock-specific news. We start with the Bank of Canada holding rates at 2.25% as inflation pressures remain sticky, then look at the latest U.S. CPI print and why markets are still worried about inflation staying higher for longer. We also discuss the insider tipping allegations surrounding TerraVest and why governance risk can matter, even when the underlying business remains strong. From there, we move to the IPO market, including OpenAI reportedly filing confidentially for an IPO, the latest on SpaceX’s expected public listing, and Wealthsimple’s new IPO access feature for retail investors. Finally, we look at Lululemon’s tough quarter, weak Americas sales, margin pressure, lowered guidance, and whether the company is starting to look more like a turnaround story than a premium compounder.

Joe Canavan built three companies that redefined how Canadians invest — then walked away, backed Wealthsimple before anyone knew the name, and now he's asking one question: why does Canada keep burning down what it builds?In this episode of Insight Is Capital, host Pierre Daillie sits down with Joe Canavan, Principal at Canavan Capital and one of Bay Street's most consequential institution builders, for a wide-ranging conversation on wealth creation, entrepreneurship, and Canada's innovation deficit. Canavan traces his career from retail advisor to founding Fidelity Canada's growth era, GT Global, and Synergy Asset Management — and through to early-stage investing in Wealthsimple, Layer 6, Koho Financial, CapIntel, and Radical AI.He unpacks why Canada's startup ecosystem was on the verge of becoming Silicon North before self-inflicted policy decisions reversed the momentum, and makes the case for a generational vision — "Innovation Nation 2047" — to build millions more millionaires, retain top talent, and attract global capital. The conversation also covers artificial general intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, financial infrastructure security, the leadership crisis in Canadian cities, and why incentives — as Charlie Munger said — determine every outcome.CHAPTERS00:00 – Introduction: What does it actually take to build wealth? 01:55 – Joe's origin story: From new-Canadian roots to Bay Street 03:23 – Building Fidelity Canada, GT Global, and Synergy Asset Management 06:38 – Stepping back, family first, and becoming the "accidental capitalist" 10:11 – How founders found Joe: Wealthsimple, Coho, Layer Six, Cap Intel 13:18 – Next Canada and building the entrepreneurship ecosystem 15:08 – Silicon North: How Canada almost became a global tech hub 18:01 – Policy failure: How capital gains tax changes broke the momentum 20:10 – Incentives drive outcomes: The Charlie Munger principle applied to Canada 22:30 – The case for millions more Canadian millionaires 24:47 – Innovation Nation 2034/2047: Own the podium for startups 39:24 – Leadership as the root cause: Cities, provinces, and the national vision 42:00 – Why financial infrastructure (the plumbing) matters more than the app 44:22 – AGI, artificial general intelligence, and the coming technological singularity 46:52 – Robotics, Elon Musk, and where the puck is going 48:14 – How Joe structures his 10-year investment thesis 52:52 – Early bet on Wealthsimple: Backing people before proof 56:39 – Altruism meets capitalism: The real cost of startup investing 58:55 – Final question: If you had the mandate to make Canada dramatically wealthier, where do you start?#CanadianEntrepreneurship #InsightIsCapital #JoeCanavan #Wealthsimple #FinancialInfrastructure #AIInvesting #QuantumComputing #SiliconNorth #VentureCapital #BayStreet #StartupEcosystem #CanadianFintech #WealthCreation #InnovationNation #LeadershipMatters #CanadianInvestors #AGI #CapitalMarkets #Fintech #AdvisorAnalyst

Prediction Markets: Why They're Gambling, Not InvestingHosts Josh Sheluk and Colin White of Verecan Capital Management discuss the rise of prediction markets (e.g., Polymarket, Kalshi, and a planned Wealthsimple product in Canada) following regulatory approvals, and argue people should avoid them. They frame the episode as a “draft of bad ideas,” led by the claim that participants will likely lose money, citing research on 1.4 million users and $20B in transactions showing profits are concentrated (1% earning ~80% of profits) and losses can be extreme (0.1% accounting for 43% of losses). They warn prediction markets are prone to manipulation and insider-information advantages, give examples of odds moving ahead of events, and criticize regulators' rationale that people will do it anyway. They emphasize these products blur investing and gambling, siphon money from long-term investing, and are gamified to drive activity.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down the latest data on Canadian household wealth and what it reveals about the growing divide between those benefiting from rising asset prices and those falling behind. We discuss household debt levels, savings rates, real estate stagnation, and why many Canadians may be feeling more financial pressure than headline numbers suggest. We also dive into BMO’s annual retirement survey, where Canadians now believe they need $1.7 million to retire. We unpack why these figures can be misleading, how retirement needs vary dramatically across provinces, and the key factors that actually determine how much you’ll need to stop working. Finally, we discuss Wealthsimple’s new partnership with X (formerly Twitter), allowing users to trade stocks directly through the platform. We explore what this means for retail investors, the gamification of investing, and whether making stock trading easier is ultimately helping—or hurting—long-term investors.

Bitcoin-backed mortgages are now officially here — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have greenlit the first US government-backed product that lets you use Bitcoin or USDC as collateral to buy a home, and most people are completely misreading what this actually means.The structure is more nuanced than the headlines suggest: you pledge Bitcoin into a Coinbase Prime account, take out a second loan backed by that collateral to fund your down payment, and crucially — the collateral is never mark-to-market. No margin calls if Bitcoin dumps 40% overnight. That's the biggest part of this story nobody's talking about.The US Treasury's own 2025 financial report: $6 trillion in assets, $48 trillion in liabilities — a net position of negative $41.7 trillion, up $2 trillion in one year.

What is going ON with eBay Canada! So many technical issues, but it's not even the technical issues, it's the lack of accountability and poor communication that once again has us scratching our heads about why we're still leaning into this platform.

Markets remain highly volatile as the Iran conflict drives one of the largest oil supply disruptions in decades. We break down what’s happening in energy markets, why this shock could last longer than expected, and how it may impact global growth, inflation, and investor portfolios. We then shift to actionable ideas, discussing ETFs and sectors that could help navigate this environment, including energy, utilities, consumer staples, and defense. We also explain why Canadian oil producers like Canadian Natural Resources, Suncor, and Cenovus may be particularly well positioned given the current backdrop. Finally, we debate Wealthsimple’s new prediction markets feature and whether it crosses the line from investing into gambling. Is this just the evolution of retail investing—or a step too far?

Why are media companies like CNN and Substack joining forces with prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi?Both Polymarket and Kalshi have been all over the news and editorial pages: will these markets be a blight of insider trading and foreign interference? The next step on the slippery slope to online gambling addiction? Should we really be able to bet on kidnapping, war, the timing of someone else's death? But thanks to recent partnerships between big media and the prediction market companies, Polymarket and Kalshi are moving from being the subject of headlines to the co-creators of those headlines.Up until last week this was mostly an American game that Canadians could surreptitiously play through VPNs. Then it was announced that Canadian fintech company Wealthsimple, cleared regulatory hurdles to bring the markets to its millions of existing customers, bringing the tech to the masses.Gemma Boothroyd brings us the story.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Gemma Boothroyd (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio Network More information:Strait of Hormuz tanker traffic won't return to normal for months, Kalshi bettors predict — CNBC "Controversial" predictions trading model could let you profit from real-world outcomes. — Global newsNHL player poll: As sports betting increases, so do harassing messages — and Venmo requests — The AthleticPolymarket gamblers threaten Israeli journalist over missile strike story | Israel | — The GuardianMLB further embraces sports betting in deal with prediction platform Polymarket — The AthleticPolymarket and Dow Jones, Publisher of The Wall Street Journal, Announce Exclusive Prediction Market Partnership — Dow JonesPower Corporation Announces Additional Investment in Wealthsimple — Power CorporationBetting on the Gatorade color?

Prediction trading is exploding in popularity, with the industry set to rake in about US$2 billion in revenue this year alone. Companies like Kalshi and Polymarket have popularized the practice, which lets you bet on nearly anything – from Taylor Swift's marriage status to election outcomes. This past week, Canadian company Wealthsimple cleared hurdles to offer Canadians something similar, but the rules will be different here and a fragmented system makes regulation tricky. The Globe's retirement and financial planning reporter Meera Raman broke the Wealthsimple news. She joins us to explain what the market may look like in Canada and the challenges regulators face in protecting investors. Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com.

Canada is getting its first mainstream prediction markets, with Wealthsimple clearing a key regulatory hurdle and raising fresh questions about oversight and insider trading. Plus, OpenAI shuts down Sora and its splashy Disney partnership, underscoring the steep costs and shaky demand for AI-generated video. In the big picture: Ontario expands its new-home tax rebate, YouTube and Meta are found guilty in a social media addiction trial, and Iran rejects a U.S. ceasefire proposal.

In Part 2 of his conversation with Dwayne Kerrigan, creative powerhouse Ron Tite dives deep into the execution side of belief-driven business. Ron breaks down how great companies find alignment with what they think, do, and say - and why most fail when they overthink, overreact, or chase the next shiny thing.This episode explores how to balance creativity with discipline, lead with integrity, and build brands that truly earn trust. Ron's frameworks and real-world examples (from Dell to Wealthsimple) will reshape how you think about growth, culture, and storytelling in your own business and career.Highlights:00:00 – Your brand isn't just a color palette04:15 – Balancing structure with innovation10:40 – Aligning through recruiting, training, and compensation13:15 – The short-term trap of chasing sales and ignoring foundations16:00 – Ron shares a personal story that reframes purpose and perspective22:00 – Breaking down what makes a great brand28:15 – The Dell origin story and how storytelling drives strategy and culture32:40 – Applying the Think. Do. Say. formula to everyday decision making35:00 – Identifying and removing your own barriers through honest self-reflectionKey Takeaways:Your Brand Isn't Just An Aesthetic - True brands align their belief, behavior, and communication - not just colors and logos.Balance Creativity with Consistency - You need both the “concept car” for innovation and the “assembly line” for profit.Culture Must Reflect Belief - If you believe in collaboration or honesty, it has to exist inside your organization too.Tell Future Stories - Vision isn't a statement, it's a story of where you're going and how you'll get there.Face the Hard Truths - Leaders must ask the obvious questions and own their barriers to growth.Quotes:“ A great brand has a core purpose, a fundamental belief that's behind it.” - Ron Tite“ If you're all concept car, and all ideas, and all innovation, you go bankrupt. If you're all execution, you're all assembly line, you become irrelevant.” - Ron Tite “Advertising is really just a tax on people who don't have a great product.” - Ron Tite“I've seen so many business owners torpedo their business because they wanted something new and flashier.” - Dwayne KerriganResources Mentioned:Everyone's An Artist - Or At Least They Should Be - by Ron TiteThink Do Say - by Ron TiteThe Purpose of Purpose - by Ron TiteCase Studies: Wealthsimple, Dell Computers, Church+State AgencyRon Tite is an entrepreneur, speaker, and best-selling author.

In this episode of the Wharton Fintech Podcast, hosts Sabrina Fathi and Wesley Aster speak with Yoonkee Sull, General Partner at ICONIQ, about building category-defining fintech companies through every market cycle. Yoonkee reflects on his journey from early ICONIQ associate to GP, lessons from backing leaders like Chime, Groww, Adyen, Wealthsimple, and Ramp, and what it takes to earn trust with founders over the long term. They unpack how startups can differentiate in a crowded space, how embedded finance is reshaping distribution, and why knowing your customer better than anyone else is the ultimate moat. With thoughtful takes on unit economics, financial inclusion, and the real use cases for AI and blockchain, this conversation is a must-listen for founders, operators, and investors navigating the next chapter of fintech.
