Our Perspective: Q3 Investment Update
We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and had the opportunity to spend some
The holiday season is all about giving, and at Aspire Wealth Partners, we are thrilled to continue our tradition of the 12 Days of Giving in 2025
In place of sending Christmas cards, we are embracing a tradition that reflects our core values and commitment to the Calgary community. Over 12 days, every other business day leading up to Christmas, and then daily during Christmas week, we will spotlight a charity chosen by one of our team members. Each organization holds personal meaning and embodies the true spirit of giving back. To support their important work, each featured charity will receive a minimum donation of $1,000. Together, we celebrate a season of gratitude, generosity, and community impact.
On the second day of giving, Anna Frank, our Senior Investment Associate , nominated the Calgary Humane Society.
Why? “The Charity I chose to support this holiday season is the Calgary Humane Society,” said Anna.
Calgary Humane Society has been at the centre of animal welfare in our city for over 100 years. They exist to create a more humane world for all animals when they are at their most vulnerable. The dedicated individuals offer care and compassion; they protect and nurture the welfare of all animals with kindness and love.
Donations help support critical programs that help rescue abused animals, provide medical care, and support adoption efforts. It will also provide essential resources such as food, shelter, medical care, and rehabilitation for animals.
Please follow along on our LinkedIn page and our website as we highlight a new charity until December 24.
From the entire team at Aspire Wealth Partners, we wish you and your family a very happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and had the opportunity to spend some
Alexander Hamilton understood that debt is not necessarily a burden if it is matched by the means of extinguishment. The same principle should guide the American economy today. Debt can be managed when it finances productivity, expands the tax base and accelerates growth. It becomes dangerous when governments borrow merely to preserve stagnation
Equity markets continued to perform well this quarter, supported by stronger corporate earnings than expected, resilient consumer spending, easing inflation, and growing confidence that interest rates will gradually move lower over time. While periods of volatility remain a normal part of investing, the overall backdrop has remained constructive
Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass imagined a world in which familiar rules ran in reverse. This problem is now increasingly confronting Wall Street—not only in how it reads monetary policy, but in how it reads the equity market itself. The Red Queen’s paradox is an apt description of the present economy.
In politics and markets, the decisive contest is often the one being played above the visible struggle. Elections, earnings and summit communiqués are the surface game—the real action lies in the metagame, the contest over rules, incentives and narratives that shape outcomes long after today’s skirmishes are forgotten.
