Seeking a simpler, more diversified portfolio
– moneysense.ca
The problemThe 47-year-old business owner from Kelowna, B.C., is a busy man. He’s a DIY investor who manages RRSPs and TFSAs for himself and his wife Debbie, 52, but he doesn’t always have the time to carefully review their portfolio. “I stick to the couch potato for half our RRSPs, but get impulsive and stock pick the rest of the time for all the accounts,” says Jeff. The result? A portfolio that’s hard to manage, is seldom rebalanced and whose performance is difficult to assess. With no company pensions, Jeff wants their money to grow tax-efficiently for retirement. He considered hiring an investment advisor, but decided he wasn’t comfortable paying a 2% fee. At some point he says he’ll likely need help, but for now wants a simple DIY strategy.

Atco President Nancy Southern. (Portrait by Ania and Tyler Stalman)Nancy Southern, eldest daughter of Atco Ltd. founder Ron Southern, became president and CEO in 2003 and chair in 2012, after working her way up through the organization. (She holds all three titles at subsidiary Canadian Utilities.) Atco has staged a remarkable recovery this year, despite the recession in its home province of Alberta, with net income bouncing back and the stock gaining more than 30%. Southern and her sister, Linda Heathcott (president and CEO of equestrian and meeting facility Spruce Meadows), maintain a controlling stake in Atco through the family holding company, Sentgraf Enterprises.
Atco has been through Alberta’s boom and bust cycle before. Do you have a strategy for dealing with it?
