At Ord Private Wealth Management, our portfolio contains many companies that are significant beneficiaries of AI, so I was intrigued to listen to this episode of Disruptors.

The global race to apply AI to robotics in a way that can make society better is on — offering unprecedented efficiency, precision and enhancing productivity to relieve humans from mundane tasks. Though there are concerns regarding ethical dilemmas and potential job displacement — fueling fears about the societal impact of these advancements. Striking a balance between the benefits and addressing these apprehensions will be key to unlocking a harmonious integration into our daily lives. On this episode of Disruptors, John Stackhouse visits Sanctuary AI — a Canadian company recognized on TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023 — to explore the cutting-edge future of humanoid robotics and is joined by visionary, Suzanne Gildert, the company’s Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer.

When a client tells us, “I need dividend income in retirement”, what they are really saying is “I need MONEY to fund my expenses in retirement”. The source of that money doesn’t necessarily have to come strictly from dividends but many retail investors consider large dividend paying stocks as “safer” and desire the higher cash flow that comes along with them. However, what can get lost in that way of thinking is the fact that many of the most well-managed; profitable; and innovative companies in the world today do not pay their shareholders a large dividend.

When a client asks us, “how should I fund my retirement income needs?”. We suggest that the best answer to this question is a little more nuanced than “Own dividend stocks!”

Please find our link below to the January "2023 Year in Review" edition of "Not Your ORDinary Newsletter" where we look back at our 2023 Commentary.

We usually aim our focus on the future when it comes to investing. However, this time we are going to shift gears and look back at the year that was, by revisiting some of our previous commentary from the “Not Your ORDinary Newsletter.”

Did our previously published comments from 2023 line up with the recovery in markets last year? Spoiler Alert! YES, they did! 2023 was a really good year for clients of Ord Private Wealth Management.

This newsletter offers a retrospective on our economic and stock market views throughout the past year, to reflect on why we felt a certain way at various points in time. Our views were often against consensus, which turned out to be the correct path. We also touch on our expectations for 2024, and what we have done in our portfolios to reflect our view.

It was not a good year in markets for many investors out there that took too cautious an approach. For those of you that are interested in learning more about how we successfully manage portfolios for our clients, please reach out to discuss.

Season’s Greetings Everyone!

What a difference a month can make. November kept its crown as the best performing month for stocks on the calendar (as discussed in our last newsletter), and investors are feeling a sense of relief after the 3-month correction that preceded it.

As we close in on the end of 2023, we thought we’d look at what this recent rally in the markets could mean for markets going forward, and sprinkle in a bit of commentary on the Canadian economy. To help illustrate our points, we’ll get into the festive spirit and borrow a few lines from the classic, “Winter Wonderland”. We’re sure to be hearing it a bunch over the next few weeks

’TIS THE SEASON OF GIVING
The holiday season is a time of giving, and the time of year when the most donations to charity occur. We thought this was an ideal time to introduce The RBC Charitable Gift Program. To those who may not know about it, The RBC Charitable Gift Program provides many of the same advantages as a private foundation—without the upfront costs, complexities, and ongoing administration responsibilities

Few things have been more disruptive and hotly debated this year than AI as 2023 marked the potential tipping point in its mass adoption thanks to the public release of generative AI platforms like ChatGPT.

From healthcare, to cybserecurity, to journalism and, now, Hollywood, AI is sending shockwaves through virtually every sector of our economy.

So, it’s a perfect time to highlight an episode from the Disruptors, an RBC Podcast, where host John Stackhouse talks with one of Canada’s preeminent AI voices, Professor Ajay Agrawal. Ajay is a professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management and co-author of “Power and Prediction: The Disruptive Economics of Artificial Intelligence”.

To demonstrate how quickly AI will evolve, many of the predictions on this episode have already come to pass. But some of the most compelling questions about the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on our world have yet to be answered.
