    A Strategic Approach to FX Currency Hedging | Minds & Markets

    In the past, currency was often assumed to act as a natural portfolio offset. Today, long held assumptions are being challenged as correlations evolve and policy dynamics shift. Canadian investors with foreign equity exposure can be impacted by currency movements, even when underlying markets perform as expected.  To frame currency risk more deliberately, investors evaluate hedging costs, volatility, correlation behaviour and market regimes. Understanding the application of strategic frameworks and dynamic hedging is essential. Together, these steps support more intentional management of currency risk across market cycles.  Join Jafer Naqvi, Managing Director, Head of Client Portfolio Management, TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM), and Mathieu Côté, Vice President, Institutional Client Portfolio Management, TDAM, as they explore how evolving market dynamics are reshaping approaches to currency risk management.

    What is the Coast FIRE Retirement Strategy? | The ETF Experience

    Think of how much more freedom you might have in retirement if you started building steady investment habits now—that's the idea behind Coast FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early). Coast FIRE is a strategy where individuals save aggressively today so they can slowly move or "coast" towards part-time, then full retirement, all while letting compound growth do the work along the way. As more people rethink what early retirement could look like, Coast FIRE is becoming a compelling alternative, especially among do-it-yourself investors and busy professionals on a tight budget. But is it the right fit for all investors, and what does it really take to stay on track? Join Isabela Sagan, Manager, ETF Business Development, TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) and Benjamin Gossack , Managing Director, Portfolio Manager, TDAM as they examine the Coast FIRE path to retiring early.   Highlights include: 1:30 What is Coast FIRE? 8:15 How ETFs fit into the Coast FIRE retirement strategy 11:25 What matters most: saving early or chasing higher returns? 12:50 What are some mistakes people make when working towards Coast FIRE?       For a full transcript in English and French, please visit the TD Asset Management Podcast page: https://www.td.com/ca/en/asset-management/insights/podcast    Email any questions or ideas for future episodes to: td.tdamtalks@td.com Please follow "TD Asset Management" on  LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/showcase/tdassetmanagement/     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
