Baun & Pate Investment Group, 5-Star Advisory Team 2024
Congratulations to Baun & Pate Investment Group for being recognized as a 5-Star Advisory Team with Wealth Professional Canada Magazine.
On the seventh day of Christmas, Melanie Duggan, our Senior Investment Associate, nominated Alpha House.
Why? “Living in the inner city, I’ve witnessed the struggles that many individuals face daily,” said Melanie. “The impact of addiction and homelessness is tangible.”
“Alpha House’s commitment to providing shelter, detox programs, and outreach services not only offers immediate assistance, but also plays a crucial role in connecting clients to more appropriate community resources. I am particularly inspired by the work of the HELP program, formerly known as DOAP (Downtown Outreach Addictions Partnership) team. By providing support and connecting clients to the necessary resources, Alpha House contributes significantly to reducing unnecessary uses of health care and criminal justice interventions.”
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.
