Me and My Money – Nobody cares about me and my money like I should.
Money; how do you make, save and preserve more of your money? And that is the question of a lifetime. If everyone knew how to make, save and preserve more money and wealth they would have done it. There are millions of millionaire’s and thousands of billionaire’s in the world so in fact what seems to be an unattainable plateau has been reached several times over.
Everyone has their own circumstances and you have heard every rags to riches story there is including the boring but true philosophy of dynastic wealth that is transferred down to family members that have little or no idea how to make, keep and not lose those hard earned dollars and assets.
If we all started from the same place the world would be even more different than the disparity we have today. Some even have greater penalties like language and skill and greater hardships are faced with business owners having to face bankruptcies and closure.
The difference between success and failure is simple “knowledge is power” if you know and have timely information and act upon it. Often the difference between the haves and the have nots is understanding the power. the power of you. People, humans, shoppers and tax payers have evolved and most of them can read and do math and with this combined basic to advance financial literacy they try to make, save and preserve more of their hard earned wealth or inherited money.
When you don’t know you don’t know and therefore the best advice is you get what you pay for and top dollar paid for advice is one of the best things you can ever do. You may not even take the advice, it may be a second opinion but to make or save larger amounts of money one realizes you do get what you pay for.
CA money mostly known as Canadian Money – meaning MONEY in Canada. others may think the meaning is for California Money. Just the same it is North America and the dollars although diminished in purchasing power still has significant meaning to those who hold it and to those who want it.
With companies and counties and coutries going bankrupt there is room for an honest online blog that looks at money by itself, in a different province, state or country today the idea of money is more meaningful now than ever before. It doesn’t matter if you are from California or Canada – lets start with microeconomics and then move on to macroecomomics and include the rest of the world on how to change the economy, invest in the future and generate a higher standard of living for more people and improve the lives of the less fortunate where and when we can.
CA money lets talk about the local economy the news changes and innovations that help people learn and grow as a responsible citenzenry we can pay back with the social currency. Give what you can with what you have: money, information, time, talent or anything you or your company have to be part of the Social Media. MONEY.ca is exactly that at a time where everyone is talking about social media we have figured out what it means and how to get paid for it whilst exchanging and challenging the status quo with there time and money the public is much better served.
Growth in the mutual fund industry has slowed down substantially, and for dealers to succeed in the highly competitive industry, they must focus on improving their technology, back office and financial planning support offerings, a recent study suggests.
Chuck Grace, a lecturer at the Richard Ivey School of Business and a management consultant with Fusion Consulting, presented results on Monday of a recent study by Fusion Consulting, a firm that focuses on investment fund distribution in Canada.
The study, completed in June, surveyed 12 mutual fund dealers and 20,000 advisors, covering 70% of the assets governed by the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada.
It found that advisors were largely satisfied with their dealers’ offerings in the areas of products, support, compensation, compliance and stability. These are all critically important offerings, most of which are correlated with asset growth and distribution network growth, and firms must continue to keep advisors satisfied in these areas to survive in the industry, according to Grace.
“You’ve just got to have it to keep up,” he said, speaking at the Univeris 2010 Summit in Toronto.
The advisors surveyed were less impressed with their dealers’ technology, front office and back office offerings.
“Technology, back office and front office appear to be the weak part of the equation,” Grace said. “The advisors are saying they’re not getting all the value they need from those three areas.”
On the front office side, he said advisors are particularly unimpressed with financial planning support from their dealers. “No one’s doing a great job on financial planning,” he said. “No one’s delivering a lot of value or executing, and you’re all doing it the same way.”
He noted that many dealers leave the financial planning process up to advisors, in an effort to provide each advisor with flexibility in their approach. But advisors are now asking for more support.
This is one area where dealers should innovate to set themselves apart, according to Grace. “There’s an opportunity to differentiate your practice, your dealership and your advisors in the marketplace.”
Fund industry slows down
Differentiation in the industry has become critical as growth as slowed down. Fusion’s study found that mutual fund dealers experienced very little growth in net sales, distribution network growth and market share growth in the 12 months ending June 30th.
“Top line growth has stalled, and I don’t see it changing,” Grace said. “I don’t see double-digit top-line growth in your futures – not within the existing mutual fund dealership model.”
He said investment returns will decline in the years ahead, which will limit asset growth for the industry.
“Assets are going to be pretty flat by the standards that some of us grew up with in the 80s and 90s.”
Growth in the industry’s distribution network has also slowed down. And with many advisors preparing to retire in the next few years, the distribution base could begin to shrink.
Grace pointed out that the only dealers that experienced growth in their advisor networks in the past year were firms that hire rookie advisors.
“If you’re looking to grow your firm on the backs of seasoned veterans, I can’t find any evidence that it’s working,” he said.
In order for dealers to grow in this challenging environment, Grace said they should look beyond mutual funds to stocks, exchange traded funds, insurance and other products.
“If you want to grow your top line, you’re going to have to get out from underneath mutual funds,” he said. “If you don’t have access to it all, you’ve handcuffed yourself to a 2% industry. You’ve got to get beyond that if you want to see some double-digit change in your business.”
More Than Meets the Eye Scenario You think nothing of it when you run out to the convenience store to buy a litre of milk. You hand over a $5 bill, pocket the change, and head home. Now imagine that you live with significant vision loss. Getting to the store is one thing, paying for the milk is another. How will you know the $5 from a $20 in your wallet? And would you be comfortable relying on a stranger for help? This is the challenge faced by well over 800,000 Canadians whose vision loss cannot be corrected using ordinary lenses. And with an aging population, the number of affected Canadians is expected to double in the coming years[1]. The Bank of Canada recognizes that the blind and partially-sighted need bank notes that are easy to identify, and is committed to making cash more accessible for this growing segment of the population. Did You Know? The Bank takes blind and partially-sighted Canadians into account when designing bank notes, and has developed a suite of features to assist this community with independent living. Accessibility features are designed to do just that—make cash accessible to the blind and partially-sighted. That means that bank notes can be differentiated either by touch, sight, or electronic signal. Touch On our current Canadian bank notes (with the metallic stripe) you may have noticed the raised dots in the top right corner. This tactile feature is made up of sets of six raised dots. The number and position of these impressions vary depending on the denomination. For example, one set of dots means it’s a $5, and two sets represent a $10, and so on. You might think this system is Braille, but it’s not. It was developed with the help of blind and partially-sighted Canadians because research indicated that not all potential users read Braille. Sight For those with low vision, large high-contrast numbers appear on both sides of the notes. On the front you’ll find a dark number on a light background, and on the back there is a white number against a dark background. This makes the numbers stand out and easier to identify. Those with healthy eyesight take the vibrant colours used on our notes for granted, but they also help identify the denominations. We don’t need to read the printed ‘50’ to know that a red note is a $50 and a purple one’s a $10. Electronic Signal The bank note reader is a hand-held device into which you insert the edge of a bill to determine its worth. It was implemented by the Bank as a handy tool for the blind and partially-sighted to identify notes through machine-readable codes. It works in one of three ways: it talks (in English or French), it signals different sounds (for each denomination), or it vibrates to identify each note’s value. Moving Forward When a new series of bank notes is launched, you may think that it’s only about improved security. It’s about more than that. It’s about making continuous improvements and designing notes that all Canadians can rely on and use with confidence. In addressing the needs of those living with blindness or partial vision, the Bank’s goal is to make it easier for them to complete cash transactions with ease. There really is more to our money than meets the eye. Canada’s Bank Note Reader The reader is distributed at no charge by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) to assist people living with vision loss. To order the reader, contact the CNIB at 1 866 659-1843 or email [email protected] October is Eye Health Month This national public awareness campaign highlights the importance of eye health and regular eye exams.

MONEY MATTERS – Bonuses Reign as Top Employee Reward, CFOs Say
TORONTO, March 2 /CNW/ – Despite lean budgets for many businesses today, most financial executives say cash is king in recognizing their teams’ hard work. Thirty-four per cent of chief financial officers (CFOs) interviewed for the Accountemps survey cited bonuses as the most effective way to acknowledge a job well done. Another 28 per cent of CFOs, however, indicated that they do not reward employees after major projects.
The survey was developed by Accountemps, the world’s first and largest specialized staffing service for temporary accounting, finance and bookkeeping professionals. It was conducted by an independent research firm and includes responses from more than 270 CFOs from a stratified random sample of Canadian companies with more than 20 employees.
CFOs were asked, “Which of the following do you feel is most effective in rewarding your accounting team after major projects?” Their responses:
Bonus .................................................. 34%
Time off ............................................... 15%
Departmental lunch or social gathering ................. 11%
Tickets to sporting or entertainment events ............ 8%
Do not reward .......................................... 28%
Don't know/no answer ................................... 3%
--------
99%(*)
((*) Survey does not equal 100 due to rounding)
“Offering bonuses for a job well done can be an effective way to motivate and retain employees,” said Kathryn Bolt, president of Accountemps’ Canadian operations. “For those workers taxed with additional responsibilities as a result of staff cutbacks, offering recognition demonstrates that their contributions are valued.”
Bolt acknowledged that bonuses may not be feasible for some firms. “While some companies may be challenged in offering compensation-based rewards, investing in budget-friendly recognition programs will help motivate staff and protect companies from the threat of employees leaving as the economy improves.”
About the Survey
The Canadian study was developed by Accountemps, a division of Robert Half International and the world’s first and largest specialized staffing service for temporary accounting, finance and bookkeeping professionals. It was conducted by an independent research firm and is based on more than 270 telephone interviews with CFOs from a random sample of Canadian companies with 20 or more employees.
