What is the Investors Association of
Canada?
The Investors Association of
Canada (IAC) is a nationally chartered non-profit association of individual
investors. The primary objective of the IAC is to be a source of investor
education by providing basic as well as timely investment information.
What
are the Benefits of Joining IAC?
IAC communicates with its members
mainly through its website and its monthly online publication, Money
Digest. Money Digest is a personal finance periodical which provides
information such as:
- What is currently happening
in the financial world.
- Which investments are doing
well.
- What new financial products
are on the market.
- What is happening to the
economy and how does it affect your investments.
- What foreign investments
are attractive and how to invest in them.
Investment
information
The articles in Money Digest
cover new products, different types of investments, personal financial planning,
insurance, retirement strategies and a lot more. The articles are always
short and to the point. While many Money Digest readers are sophisticated,
things are always explained in easy-to-understand language.
Books
at a discount
Money Digest also contains a listing of investment books available to members,
usually at a discount. Currently this service temporarily suspended and
will resume as we complete constructing the website.
How
About Direct Advice on Specific Investments?
We do not give buy and sell
advice. All information about specific investments given by IAC is confined
to what is on the website and in Money Digest. While we do mention
specific investments to illustrate specific strategies, Money Digest
simply provides the facts and relevant information. The individual investor
must decide to act or not act upon the information.
Some
Topics Covered in Money Digest
Money Digest covers a variety of topics that are of interest to investors.
The topics vary depending on what is happening around us. Some common themes
are:
- How to plan your finances
- How to invest in mutual
funds for maximum benefit
- How to protect your capital
- How to get maximum return
on your money
- How to invest for profits
while minimizing risks
- Real estate and gold as
investments - rewards and risks
- What stocks are discounted
- What is new in insurance
The articles in Money Digest
are short and to the point. Everything is simply and clearly explained.
