"Graham has been a pioneer and steadfast champion of worry-free safety-first investing in Canada. He has always believed that the most prudent approach to personal investing must start with a solid base of inflation-protected real return bonds. He has been a leader in urging his government to issue a Canadian equivalent to Series I saving bonds in the U.S."

Q&A with Zvi Bodie

 

Question:

Your worry-free investing concept is very interesting and it totally changed my mind as the media is succeeding in convincing me as an ordinary investor to invest in stocks in order to have a good retirement. I am over 55 and still working but your trustworthy advice is not too late as I could continue to lose more money by investing in stocks only.

 

I look forward to hearing from you, Zvi. You dare to speak the truth and disregard the enemies you have made among so-called "profession money managers." In Canada, what is the equivalent of TIPS?

 

Zvi's Answer:

 In Canada, the equivalent of TIPS are Real Return Bonds (RRBs).  The Canadian government started issuing RRBs several years before the US government did.  The chief proponent of RRBs for investors like you is Graham Cook, a professional financial planner who is a longtime friend of mine.
