    She Watches Billions in ETF Flows Every Day. What's Going On Behind the Screens?

    The desk at RBC Capital Markets that sits behind 90% of Canada's ETF market has a view of where flows are really going — and it's not what most advisors expect. Pierre Daillie sits down with Valerie Grimba, Head of Global ETF Strategy at RBC Capital Markets, for a wide-ranging conversation about the forces quietly reshaping how Canadian advisors build portfolios. Valerie's team serves as designated broker to roughly 300 ETF mandates and acts as authorized participant across the majority of the Canadian ETF market — giving her a real-time, flow-level view of investor behaviour that almost nobody else has. From the structural fracture that 2022 opened in the 60/40 model, to the liquidity misconceptions her desk corrects every single day, to the explosive rise of asset allocation ETFs, covered call strategies, AAA CLOs, and precision thematic plays, this conversation covers the full terrain of where the ETF market stands today — and where it is heading.

  2. Why Half a Million People Trust PWL Capital CIO, Ben Felix

    Why Half a Million People Trust PWL Capital CIO, Ben Felix

    In this episode of Insight Is Capital, Pierre Daillie sit down with Ben Felix — Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager at PWL Capital, co-host of the Rational Reminder podcast, and the driving force behind one of the most-watched evidence-based investing channels on YouTube with over half a million subscribers. Ben unpacks the philosophy and hard-won lessons behind PWL's radical transparency strategy — giving away the "secret sauce" of their entire investment process — and why that counterintuitive bet became the engine of the firm's organic growth. He shares how a Costco parking lot moment sparked his channel concept, why it took him three years to crack a smile on camera, and what the advice industry still consistently gets wrong about content marketing. The conversation turns candid when Ben addresses the alternatives wave sweeping Canadian portfolios — and PWL's longstanding decision to focus on building systematic, rules-based portfolios. He then reframes the advisor value proposition entirely: a real client's story reveals that none of the reasons they hired PWL had anything to do with securities selection or beating the market, and more importantly, a laundry list of high-value living, breathing concerns. The episode closes with Ben's most powerful framework for life and practice — the PERMA-V model of human flourishing — and a striking parallel between the five factor model for investing and the five factors of a well-lived life. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Introduction: Who is Ben Felix and why your clients are already watching him 02:00 – From basketball scholarship and mechanical engineering to CIO: Ben's accidental path into finance 07:30 – How PWL's blogging experiment became a content empire — and the Costco parking lot moment 13:00 – What advisor content gets badly wrong: black boxes, sales pitches, and the trust deficit 17:00 – The hardest part of content creation: consistency, camera nerves, and why most people quit 18:30 – "Investing has been solved": PWL's evidence-based philosophy and the case against stock-picking 20:00 – The alternatives warning: gated private funds, client transfers, and why PWL passed 23:00 – How content became a beacon for like-minded advisors — and PWL's acquisition growth model 28:00 – The self-selecting client: why prospects arrive already sold on the philosophy 30:00 – Who Ben is actually talking to: DIY investors, advisors, and the 10-year referral flywheel 34:00 – Freeing advisors from the securities selection trap: what evidence-based investing unlocks 37:00 – Why a successful DIY investor hired PWL — and none of the reasons were about the portfolio 39:30 – Goal-setting, PERMA-V, and the structured process PWL tested with Morningstar 42:00 – PWL's financial planning app: systematizing the family office model at scale 44:30 – What makes people trust Ben Felix: evidence, sources, and STEM-grade intellectual honesty 49:00 – Where PWL goes from here: acquisitions, fiduciary growth, and a possible book 51:00 – The one thing to change: applying PERMA-V as a filter for how you live and invest 53:00 – Where to find Ben Felix: YouTube, Rational Reminder, The Money Scope #BenFelix #PWLCapital #EvidenceBasedInvesting #IndexInvesting #RationalReminder #FinancialPlanning #AdvisorAlpha #DIYInvesting #FactorInvesting #WealthManagement #InsightIsCapital #PersonalFinanceCanada #ETFInvesting #FinancialAdvisor #FiduciaryAdvisor #InvestingCanada #MoneyScope #PassiveInvesting #BehaviouralFinance #PERMAModel

  3. Canada's ETF Surge is Structural, not Cyclical | Ronald Landry

    Canada's ETF Surge is Structural, not Cyclical | Ronald Landry

    Canada's ETF market isn't just growing — it's being structurally rewired, and Ron Landry has a front-row seat to where every dollar is flowing and why. Pierre Daillie sits down with Ronald Landry, Vice President and Head of Segment Solutions and Canadian ETF Services at CIBC Mellon, for a wide-ranging look at the forces driving Canada's historic ETF surge. With nearly $95 billion in net flows through May 2026 — 57% ahead of last year's run rate — Ron unpacks why this isn't a cyclical wave but a structural shift in how Canadians save, invest, and expect to be served. From the rise of income-generating ETFs and single-stock strategies to tokenization, TCR disclosure, and the regulatory cost burden quietly falling on investors, this conversation delivers the institutional vantage point advisors rarely access. Ron and Pierre also tackle what it really takes for a new ETF to survive, why advisor-guided portfolios outperform DIY by 3.6x, and what the next phase of Canadian ETF product formation looks like as active management quietly takes over the flow story. ⏱ Chapters[00:00:00] — Introduction: Pierre sets the stage on Canada's surging ETF flows and welcomes Ron Landry of CIBC Mellon [00:02:00] — $95B and counting: Ron breaks down the staggering 2026 YTD flow numbers and what's driving the pace [00:03:30] — Mutual fund managers come knocking: Why traditional fund firms are now asking about ETF series [00:05:00] — Geography of flows: Rotation from US equities into Canadian, emerging markets, and international mandates [00:07:30] — Product formation trends: Single-stock ETFs, covered calls, high-frequency distributions, and the income yield wave [00:09:00] — The 86% rule: Why the top 10 issuers still capture the lion's share of new assets [00:10:00] — All-in-one ETFs: iShares, Vanguard, and BMO dominate the asset allocation category [00:13:00] — Macro disconnect: Why flows keep surging despite inflation, tariffs, and geopolitical risk [00:14:00] — ETF pipeline signals: Crypto and digital assets, tokenization workshops, and what the CSA is watching [00:18:00] — TCR (Total Cost Reporting): What advisors need to know before January 2027 statements land [00:23:00] — The covered call psychology: Instant income, generational behaviour, and the bear market stress test [00:28:00] — The advisor value case: Portfolio growth 3.6x higher with professional guidance — know your product [00:30:00] — ETF survival signals: First-mover advantage, the three-year rule, and when to pull the plug [00:36:00] — Regulatory cost creep: Filing fee increases, the Emerge warning, and how costs ultimately reach investors [00:43:00] — The road ahead: Active ETFs, advisor positioning, and what the next phase of Canadian ETF evolution demands #CanadianETF #ETFInvesting #InsightIsCapital #WealthManagement #FinancialAdvisor #ETFCanada #CoveredCallETF #ActiveETF #InvestmentFunds #CIBCMellon #CanadianInvesting #ETFFlows #TotalCostReporting #PortfolioManagement #FinancialPlanning #DIYInvesting #Incomeinvesting #ETFIndustry #CanadianFinance #AdvisorAlyst

  4. Larry Swedroe: The Adaptive Market & The Undiversified Investor

    Larry Swedroe: The Adaptive Market & The Undiversified Investor

    Larry Swedroe has spent 30 years proving the market will almost always beat you — and in this episode, he explains why that's about to become even more true. In this episode of Raise Your Average, hosts Pierre Daillie and Mike Philbrick sit down with legendary evidence-based investing author and outsourced CIO Larry Swedroe for a wide-ranging masterclass on where markets are heading and what investors must do to survive them. Swedroe breaks down how AI is accelerating market efficiency rather than unlocking alpha, why the 60/40 portfolio carries far more equity risk than most investors realize, and why true hyper-diversification — across private credit, reinsurance, return stacking, and long-short factor strategies — is the only credible response to a world where correlation assumptions break at exactly the wrong moment. He confronts the behavioral mistakes social media is making worse, challenges advisors to stress-test risk tolerance with real dollar numbers, and argues the future of wealth management belongs to those who master alternatives. ⏱ Chapters00:00 — Cold Open: AI and the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis 02:00 — Welcome to Larry Swedroe 03:00 — Post-Retirement Life: Consulting, Writing, and Giving Back 09:00 — AI and Market Efficiency: Does Technology Create or Destroy Alpha? 11:00 — Factor Model History: CAPM, Fama-French, and Shrinking Active Alpha 14:00 — Warren Buffett's Disappearing Alpha 21:00 — The Danger of AI Data Mining and False Correlations 23:00 — What Makes a Factor Worth Owning: Persistent, Pervasive, Robust 28:00 — Leverage Aversion: When a Little Is Good and a Lot Is Dangerous 30:00 — Private Credit and the Case for Senior Secured Loans 31:00 — Return Stacking and Portable Alpha 34:00 — Hyper-Diversification: Why Your 60/40 Is Really 90/10 in Risk Terms 39:00 — The 40-Year Period Growth Stocks Underperformed Long Treasuries 40:00 — Reinsurance and AQR Style Premium: Self-Healing Assets and Impatience 45:00 — The Real Definition of Diversification: Something Is Always Hurting 47:00 — Good Advisors Are People Managers, Not Money Managers 54:00 — Stress-Testing Risk Tolerance with Real Dollar Numbers 56:00 — Monte Carlo and the True Cost of Avoiding Alternatives 59:00 — Trend Following: Clustered Returns and Why You Buy Insurance at a Cost 01:05:00 — Behavioral Mistakes in the Age of Social Media 01:07:00 — Information vs. Value-Relevant Information: Why Reddit Won't Make You Rich 01:11:00 — The Future of Advisory Practice: Wealth Management and the Next Decade #EvidenceBasedInvesting #FactorInvesting #MarketEfficiency #AIInvesting #ReturnStacking #BehavioralFinance #WealthManagement #AlternativeInvestments #PortfolioConstruction #FinancialAdvisor #RaiseYourAverage #LarrySwedroe #RetirementPlanning #ManagedFutures #TrendFollowing #PrivateCredit #Reinsurance #HyperDiversification #InvestmentStrategy #FinancePodcast #IndexInvesting #FactorPremium #ActiveVsPassive #AdvisorAnalyst #MikePhilbrick #PierreDaillie #LongShortStrategy #MonteCarloSimulation #SequenceOfReturnsRisk #PortfolioRisk

  5. Adriano Starinieri - No Filters, No Pitch, No Advisor

    May 19

    Adriano Starinieri - No Filters, No Pitch, No Advisor

    He replaced his paycheck with a covered call ETF portfolio, moved to Panama, and put the whole system on display — because transparency, it turns out, is the most powerful financial planning tool nobody in the industry is using. What does it actually look like to live off your portfolio — not someday, but now? Pierre Daillie sits down with Adriano Starinieri, creator of the Passive Income Investing YouTube channel and the voice behind one of Canada's fastest-growing DIY finance communities, to answer that question in full. Adriano walks through his complete origin story: working-class Montreal roots, a father who speculated on penny stocks, a 20-year mortgage paid off in 7 years, and a decision in 2019 to sell the condo, invest the proceeds, and go all-in on covered call ETFs — just months before the COVID crash. Today he and his wife live in Panama, financially independent, drawing monthly income from a seven-figure portfolio he reviews publicly on YouTube every single month. For investors, this episode is a masterclass in income-first portfolio construction. Adriano breaks down exactly how covered call ETFs work, why the 2021 arrival of lightly leveraged versions effectively solved the total return problem, how to evaluate any covered call ETF by asset quality, coverage ratio, and leverage, and why the buy-and-hold-forever mindset eliminates the behavioural mistakes that derail most portfolios. He makes a compelling case that for income-seeking investors, covered call ETFs don't just compete with bonds — they may make the traditional fixed income sleeve obsolete. For advisors, this episode is a window into how the next generation of clients is already thinking — and who they're already listening to. Adriano's 250,000-subscriber community was built on a single, confronting idea: radical transparency. He shows his real portfolio, his real numbers, his real monthly distributions — and his audience trusts him completely because of it. Pierre and Adriano explore what that trust gap reveals about how advisors communicate, why proprietary product recommendations erode client confidence, and what it would look like for an advisory practice to meet younger investors where they actually are: online, sceptical, and hungry for education over salesmanship.

  6. The Covered Call ETF Gap | Zed Francis and Devin Anderson

    May 15

    The Covered Call ETF Gap | Zed Francis and Devin Anderson

    Most investors think they understand what they own — Devin Anderson and Zed Francis of Convexitas are here to prove they don't, and to show what the next generation of derivative investing actually looks like. Pierre Daillie and Mike Philbrick welcome Devin Anderson and Zed Francis, Co-Founders of Convexitas, for a masterclass in derivative investing that challenges everything advisors and investors think they know about covered calls, buffered ETFs, and options-based income strategies. Drawing on deep institutional backgrounds — Devin from two decades at Deutsche Bank's equity derivatives structuring desk, and Zed from UBS credit trading, distressed hedge funds, and Legal & General — the two founders lay bare the hidden complexity lurking inside "simple" yield products that dominate today's wealth management landscape. The conversation pulls no punches: the hockey-stick diagrams used to explain covered call ETFs at point-of-sale actively mask real-time risk exposures that can shift dramatically intraday. A product sold as "half the risk of equities" can quietly become nearly full equity exposure within hours of a 1% market move — and most advisors and clients have no idea. Devin and Zed argue this isn't a reason to abandon these products, but a powerful case for active, continuous derivative management that delivers what the product actually promised. The founders introduce Convexitas's philosophy: that the options market is structurally mispriced, and that most yield-seeking investors are sitting on the wrong side of that mispricing. They walk through the SMA-based approach — designed to generate accessible liquidity precisely when markets crash, enabling advisors to rebalance into distressed assets rather than being frozen by tax friction, behavioral paralysis, or trapped capital in fund wrappers. From the mechanics of short volatility to the case for unfunded overlays, return stacking, and Warren Buffett's alpha decoded through Fama-French factors, this episode is essential listening for any advisor navigating the derivative income revolution.

  7. Joe Canavan on Wealth, Risk, and Canada's Next Chapter

    May 12

    Joe Canavan on Wealth, Risk, and Canada's Next Chapter

    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. CHAPTERS 00:00 – 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
