(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/28/11 -- Investors in Canada can access a new online video resource to help them master the basics of building an investment portfolio thanks to iShares ETFs, Canada's leading family of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited (BlackRock Canada), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. and the manager of the iShares ETFs, today announced that Bruce Sellery, the founder of Bruce Sellery Inc., a personal finance training company and the Moolala brand, and author of Moolala: why smart people do dumb things with their money (and what you can do about it), serves as host of the five videos that can be found exclusively at .
"Markets are evolving, and with them, so is the innovation of investment options. This innovation is outpacing the awareness and education available to many investors today," said Mary Anne Wiley, Managing Director, Head of iShares Distribution, BlackRock Canada. "That's what this partnership is all about: empowering individuals to have the confidence to make decisions with their money, whether on their own or through the advice of financial professionals."
"The individual investor can't control if the market goes up or down, but they can control their own behaviour, and that counts for a lot. These videos are intended to help people learn the basics and empower them to get a handle on their money," said Bruce Sellery.
The series can be viewed at the iShares ETFs Canada website (). In total, there are five videos:
Handling your money can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be. The Priority Pyramid will help you figure out what to focus on first, based on your individual circumstances.
This video takes you through a series of questions assessing your financial situation, your needs and your interest so you can look at the benefits and the costs of each option (self-directed or advised).
Creating a basic investment portfolio can be a lot like making butter tarts: understand "what" ingredients you need, "how much" of each to use, and "how to" bring them all together.
Like most things you value in life - your home, your car and your health - your portfolio needs regular maintenance. Understand the importance of rebalancing your investments.
There are many approaches to investing. Understanding the difference between active and passive investing can help you determine if you want to use one or the other, or both in your portfolio.
"When Bruce talks, people hear him. His years as a financial journalist and as a well-respected financial planning expert have given Bruce the ability to translate complicated and often overwhelming terms into basic, attainable and achievable advice," said Mary Anne Wiley.
