Trade Idea: ESG Investing – Don’t forget to consider bonds - March 4, 2021
While ESG investing is not a new concept, it has certainly been gaining a lot of traction among the broader investment community over the last half decade. Environmental, Social and Governance, or “ESG”, factors are expected to become increasingly important, not only for retail investors but for larger, institutional investors as well. Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), which shares similar values as ESG, has been around for many decades, but was considered a niche requirement among a targeted subset of investors.

As a society, we are transitioning into more sustainable ways to maintain our energy intensive world. ZCLN provides exposure to the increasing growth in global clean energy through the world's most invested clean energy index.

Currency Hedging in These Markets: To Hedge or Not to Hedge? - January 7, 2021
During the extreme market volatility in the early days of the pandemic, USD strengthened when demand for the greenback increased as investors searched for an equity market safe haven. CAD hit a low of $0.68 relative to USD on March 19th. The loonie was under pressure, affected by both low interest rates and the falling price of oil which hit below $30 per barrel in April. Since then, CAD has been on a rally, thanks to a recovering oil price, a demand for materials, and a weaker USD. CAD hit a high of $0.78 on December 15th, which represents a 14% gain since it bottomed in March.
