Cuba seeks to woo more than $8 billion in foreign investment at international trade fair
– canadianbusiness.com
HAVANA – Cuba is asking international firms to invest more than $8 billion in the island as it attempts to kick start a centrally planned economy starved for cash and hamstrung by inefficiency.
Foreign Commerce Minister Rodrigo Malmierca Diaz has announced a list of 246 projects Cuba wants that would require $8.7 billion in investment, ranging from farms to a light auto plant.
The list announced Monday at Havana’s International Fair is the latest step in Cuba’s push for foreign capital that also includes a law relaxing conditions for investment and the creation of a special trade zone in the Mariel port west of Havana.
Cuba says foreign investment must reach $2 billion annually to increase an economic growth rate not expected to exceed 1 per cent this year.

5 things your financial adviser isn’t telling you

(Getty Images)1. Fees are my friend. New regulations currently being put in place will force advisers to disclose exactly how much you pay in fees on your mutual funds, but that doesn’t mean complete disclosure. “Fee-only planners don’t manage money so they’re approached all the time by investment advisers looking for a referral in return for a referral fee,” says certified financial planner Jason Heath. “These fees often aren’t disclosed.”
2. Great advisers specialize. It pays to pick an adviser who specializes in the area where you need help. For instance, if your marriage breaks down, you might want an adviser with a financial divorce specialist designation. Keep in mind that you’ll likely need more than one adviser in your lifetime—one for investment management and one for retirement and tax planning.
3. I don’t need to put your interests first. Advisers aren’t fiduciaries like lawyers. “It’s just a suitability standard that applies to their recommendations and conduct,” says Heath…
