Now that the economy is showing signs of recovering, it’s a perfect time to sit down with your financial advisor and review your financial plan.
A greener smile
It is with much excitement that I welcome you to the first electronic-only edition of Smile. All of us here at Meridian are happy to say goodbye to paper and do our small part in helping the environment. I hope you find it even more convenient getting all of the latest news delivered right to your inbox.
There are lots of other things to feel good about in this issue. As I write this, I feel cautiously optimistic about the future of our economy. Compared to the U.S. and some European countries, Canada is in a pretty good financial position. Our Shareholder Update that will be posted on our website within the next month will help you make sense of what’s going on in the economy, as well as Meridian’s own financial health.
Now that the economy is showing signs of recovering, it’s a perfect time to sit down with your financial advisor and review your financial plan. If you don’t have a financial advisor, it’s a good time to find one and create a plan. We’ve included some helpful tips to consider when looking for an advisor and to help you make the most of your relationship with your current advisor.
We have all learned a hard but valuable lesson about the importance of saving and not living beyond our means. With a market-leading rate and instant access to your money, our Online Savings account is an easy way to build your savings. You can read more about it in this issue. And of course saving for our children’s future is always one of the best investments we can all make, which is why we’ve included a reminder about the RESP deadline.
If you want more information on any of the articles, there’s a link you can click on at the end which will take you directly to our website.
I hope you enjoy this edition of Smile. Until then, have a wonderful fall.
