Alternative Thinking: Both Sides of the Investment Coin caasa

In this episode we are talking agriculture from two angles: equity investment into working farms and lending to farmers to get them through a tough growing season or to expand their operations.  Both of my guests have a great deal of experience in their respective areas and you’ll love to hear about how Canadian agriculture is staying competitive and delivering quality food to your table.

In this episode, we have another first. We have the Ontario Securities Commission participating in a podcast, along with LockDocs, which recently completed the OSC's Innovation Lab AKA TestLab Program. The result was a KYC online app that, while not endorsed nor approved by the regulator, was brought to market via the program and with a great deal of industry input. Let's hear about their journey together.

In this episode we speak with a veteran investment advisor and a specialist in investing in a diverse set of Ontario-based construction projects.  You’ll hear what investors are looking for these days and how these two professionals deliver for their clients.

In this episode we speak to two CAASA members, Gord Ross, Chief Sales Officer of W.A. Robinson Asset Management & Darren Reid, Portfolio Manager of Aligned Capital on the opposite side of Canada. Where their values and purpose couldn't be more aligned (apologies for the pun), their respective businesses are structured to provide quality income to clients and have done so for many years, even decades.

In this episode we are speaking with two CAASA members who joined forces to produce an innovative ETF product in the global real estate space - offering the benefits of this asset class to investors who like a little liquidity now and then.  We hope you enjoy it!
