We are introducing a new regular feature to the podcast, the Financial Planning edition with Senior Portfolio Manager, Benjamin Klein, CFA, CFP. Benjamin joins Barry to discuss topics like – what is financial planning; does everyone need a financial plan; and, mistakes people make as they prepare for retirement. The feature discussion in our inaugural Financial Planning podcast is about the recently introduced First Home Savings Account.

We plan on dropping a Financial Planning podcast once a month so please send us your feedback and questions!
