Pamela McDonald - Practice Informed Investing

Episode 107

Pamela McDonald

Practice Informed Investing

Conversations That Matter features Pamela McDonald on the safeguards designed to protect investors. Yes, believe it or not there are safeguards and the BC Securities Commission is charged with that responsibility. McDonald says, “we take that responsibility very seriously and we do it in a number of ways.  We license and oversee the people who deal in investments, we make and enforce the rules of conduct and we educate investors to empower them with the tools that allow them to make informed decisions.”

Knowing yourself and your investment style is vitally important and it informs your relationship with your investment advisor. McDonald says there are five distinct investment personalities, “They are: confident, diligent, reserved, impulsive, and tumultuous. Your personality matters.”
