Most of us are invested in the "market" in traditional assets such as stocks, ETFs, and bonds. Our investment portfolio ride the roller-coaster that is the market. Can we invest in assets that are not correlated to this roller-coaster? The answer is "yes". One way to diversify our investment portfolio is using Alternative Assets (also known as Private Equity). What are the pros, cons, caveats, and risks? We will address these questions in this episode.

Physicians have now been bombarded with advertisements about pensions "designed" for them. Unfortunately, much of the marketing are not 100% truthful. As consumers of these plans, physicians need to understand 100% of the solution because being 50% truthful (while still true) is not the same as being 100% truthful. Buyer beware. Physicians need to do do their own due diligence.

You have heard of the new Canadian federal budget that increased the Inclusion Rate on the Capital Gains tax. It finally went into effect on June 25th, 2024.
Physicians were given the right to incorporate their practices in lieu of a salary increase. Consequently, many physicians saved their money inside their corporation in the form of retained earnings and then invested it, as a way to save for retirement. Now, with the increase in the Capital Gains Inclusion Rate, this strategy is no longer as efficient. But what about all those physicians who used this strategy for the last 20 years? Is it all lost? Well, if no actions are taken, then "yes".
A few strategies to mitigate this increase exist. Listen to learn about them!

Physicians typically do not just wear one hat. Many of us tries to wear many hats at the same time (to our detriment). Don't worry, I do this too.
Some of us also wear the hat of a researcher (either big "R" or small "r").
However, most of us do not know we can be compensated by the government for the research we do. There is much money left on the table.
Here is an episode that deals with the SR&ED program.
Everyone should know about SR&ED. You may be entitled to receive this money back from the government.

We did episodes on "Top 10 financial mistakes" made by physicians in early and mid-stage career. Late-stage physicians need not feel left out. Here is an episode for the late-stage career physicians. It is important to recognize that most of the financial mistakes in late-stage career are consequences of things not done in early and mid-stage career. But not all hope is lost. Many things can still be corrected. But better yet, for physicians in early or mid-stage career, this is a good episode to learn how not to get to this point!

Physicians and almost all providers in healthcare have very poor financial literacy. It is very common for us to make financial mistakes. The sad news is that most of us are not even aware of them. As we progress in our career, we hope that we finally "arrived". We might have done so professionally in medicine. However, have we "arrived" financially?
I am also letting the audience know of our inaugural Code Green Conference on Feb 2nd, 2024 at the Novotel Hotel in North York. It is an all-day jam full of financial knowledge. Save the Date! More details to come soon. If you don't come for the knowledge, at least come for the Wine&Cheese!

As physicians, we make a lot of financial mistakes. Some of us are aware, but most of us are not aware we are making them. This is because we have blinders on. We are lead astray by our cognitive traps. In this podcast, we discuss of some them with Dr. Ketan Kulkarni.
