A wide variety of characteristics allows a preferred share portfolio to be tailored to the individual needs of the investor, but this very variety can lead to the \u201ctyranny of choice\u201d, in which the necessity of choosing between various options leads investors to avoid the sector entirely. In this seminar, you will learn to assess the characteristics of different preferred shares, how to compare the prices of these shares and how to put together a portfolio that meets your needs \u2026 with very attractive tax savings compared to bonds and GICs!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biography<\/strong>: James Hymas commenced managing bond portfolios in 1992 and has achieved first quartile performance throughout his career. He founded Hymas Investment Management Inc. in 2000, with the objective of filling a niche as a source of top quality preferred share analysis and portfolio management, programming his firm\u2019s software, HIMIPref\u2122, to bring the full force of his fixed-income analytical knowledge quickly and consistently to any set of market prices that the vagaries of the stock market can bring.
