Justwealth Market Commentary for 3Q 2024: Just when you think that markets can’t keep going up, they keep going up. The third quarter of 2024 was another impressive display of what diversified, prudent investing can achieve. Both stocks and bonds rose during the quarter and elevated one-year returns solidly into double-digit territory. Every single Justwealth portfolio (and there are more than 80 of them) is up more than 10% over the past year, even the most conservative options. It does not get much better than this in the investing world. Read the entire commentary: https://lnkd.in/gSQD6rYz

We appreciate the call out by Rob Carrick in The Globe and Mail, citing our top-performing portfolios: "Wealthsimple’s popular growth portfolio – that’s 80-per-cent stocks, 20-per-cent bonds and gold – has a five-year average annual total return of 7 per cent after fees as of the end of May. Historically speaking, a net return like that over a five-year span is a good result. But in the past five years, better returns were available. Justwealth Financial, a top-performing competitor to Wealthsimple, delivered 9.1 per cent on an average annual basis through its comparable Global High Growth Portfolio." https://lnkd.in/gpQaiB8S

There are broadly two types of investing — active and passive investing. So which approach is better?  Instinctively, most people who haven’t looked into the issue in any detail tend to assume that active investing is superior.  In the latest of a new series of exclusive articles for Justwealth, the UK based author and journalist Robin Powell shows that if you look at the evidence, you’ll see that, over the long run, most active mutual fund managers have underperformed passively managed funds. https://lnkd.in/gByMX3qq
