Canadian Wealth Secrets Should Canadians Invest In the US? The Pros and Cons of Investing in the United States Economy
Not sure where you stand when it comes to where to park your investment dollars moving forward in 2024 and beyond?
With the most recent 2024 Canadian Federal Budget released recently with even more punitive tax implications for investors, it seems that many Canadian investors are talking about looking South of the border to begin investing in real estate or even growth stocks and equities in the US.
As an investor, navigating the shifting sands of taxation and market conditions plays a much greater role on the value of your near-term and long-term investment portfolio and ultimately your net worth. Once a Canadian investor decides that they will routinely invest for their future, deciding where to invest – the US or Canada – against the backdrop of rising capital gains taxes, economic headwinds, and overall risk versus reward can drastically change the outcome of your real net worth.
Stick with us as we dig into the complexities of diversification, emphasizing that it's not merely about geography but about aligning investments with individual circumstances and longer term goals. From minimizing income tax implications to maximizing your return on investment, this episode provides insights to empower you to make informed decisions in an ever-evolving, complex Canadian financial landscape.
What you’ll learn:
- Gain clarity on how to diversify your investments while navigating potential tax implications and currency risk across both sides of the US and Canadian investment markets.
- Learn strategies for finding real estate deals with a margin of safety, in Canada or the US, to preserve your capital and safeguard your investments.
- Understand the benefits of diversifying real estate investments across different provinces in Canada or states in the US, with a focus on flexible financing and long-term growth potential.
- How you can take advantage of “risk-on” assets such as real estate while also creating a completely “risk-off” buffer against market downturns in Canada or the US.
Stick around as we unpack the pros and cons surrounding whether we should be investing in the Canadian economy or whether packing up your stacks of cash and sending them down to the US is the best move regardless of whether you’re looking at single family homes, multifamily real estate, private placements in the US, or even just publicly traded US equities.
