On the fifth day of Christmas, Gaggan Khangura, our Senior Investment Associate, nominated the Alzheimer Society of Calgary.
Why? “I chose to support Alzheimer Calgary as a way of honouring my grandmas, who lived with dementia during the last few years of their lives,” said Gaggan. “While it was undoubtedly difficult to witness their memory loss and the moments when they could not recognize loved ones, it has inspired me to support organizations like Alzheimer Calgary.”
“I believe in the power of their work to provide hope, assistance, and resources to families facing Alzheimer’s and related dementias. I’m proud to say that I actively participate in the Alzheimer Walk and Run every year, raising both awareness and funds for this cause – this year I was able to raise $4,525. By contributing, it’s helping to make a positive impact, ensuring that individuals and families affected by this condition receive the support they need and that, one day, a cure will be found. It’s a way to turn a personal experience into a source of hope and change for the future.”
Please follow along on our LinkedIn page and our website as we highlight a new charity every business day until December 22nd.
From the entire team at the Baun & Pate Investment Group, we wish you and your family a very Happy Holiday Season and Prosperous New Year.

The costliest piece of advice is the one usually obtained for free. This is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear “so and so told me to do this to save on probate.” Don’t get me wrong, probate fee planning is important for those in high-fee provinces like British Columbia (1.4%) and Nova Scotia (1.7%), but even if you reside in areas with nominal fees like Alberta ($525), planning can potentially speed up the transition of your estate.
Tales of empires are as old as civilization itself. From ancient Mesopotamia to Rome, from the Mongols to the British, history is replete with stories of great powers that rose to dominate vast swaths of territory, only to eventually crumble under the weight of their ambitions. The United States of America, as the preeminent global superpower of the modern era, finds itself at a critical juncture in this age-old narrative.
The second quarter turned out to be another strong one as artificial intelligence (AI) and technology names continued to power indexes higher. From November of last year until April of this year we’ve seen most equities performing well.
At this very moment, the U.S. faces a fiscal predicament which urgently calls for proactive measures following the 2024 presidential election. The nation’s mounting debt crisis demands immediate attention, yet neither party has outlined a clear strategy to address this pressing issue.
