Drew Williams reposted thisDrew Williams reposted thisGood morning, our 2026 Fixed Income outlook is now live. Please see this short video preview, and from there is a link to the full piece on our website. Key Topics Covered: • Bank of Canada on Hold – We believe the #BoC has completed its rate-cut cycle, setting the stage for yield-curve re-steepening and higher long-term rates. • U.S. #FederalReserve Outlook – Political uncertainty, a leadership change, and late-cycle dynamics may lead to further volatility in U.S. rate policy. • Yield Curve Re-Steepening – Higher 5-, 10-, and 30-year yields could improve reinvestment opportunities for fixed income investors. • Record #Credit Issuance – 2025 saw the highest issuance on record in Canada, with expectations for even more supply in the U.S. driven by AI-related capex and M&A. • Credit #Spreads at Historic Tights – With spreads near pre-GFC levels, we expect modest widening as leverage increases and issuance accelerates. • Improving All-In Yields – Higher base rates and wider spreads may enhance income potential across fixed income portfolios. • Defensive Positioning – We remain cautious, prepared to reinvest further out the curve as yields rise and spreads adjust. • Key Risks for 2026 – USMCA renegotiation, fiscal stimulus, inflation re-acceleration, political interference in monetary policy, and U.S. labour-market dynamics. Happy holidays! https://lnkd.in/gSSM_Mre2026 Outlook: Yield Curve Re-Steepening, Credit Spreads & Bond Strategy2026 Outlook: Yield Curve Re-Steepening, Credit Spreads & Bond Strategy

Drew Williams liked thisDrew Williams liked thisIn this monthly fixed income commentary preview, Vice President, Portfolio Manager Etienne Bordeleau recaps the key market developments from February and early March, including widening credit spreads, rising bond yields, private credit stress tied to software exposure, and the growing market impact of renewed conflict in the Middle East. As volatility picks up across credit, rates, equities and commodities, Etienne explains how these risks are affecting fixed income markets and how we’ve positioned our portfolios with capital preservation in mind. Key Topics Covered: • Credit Spreads Move Wider ��� After starting February near all-time lows in Canada and the U.S., credit spreads widened as market complacency faded. • Private Credit & Software Contagion – Weakness in software names exposed broader risks in private credit, leveraged loans and life insurers with significant U.S. private credit exposure. • AI Risk Meets Credit Fragility – Two major 2026 risks identified earlier this year—AI-driven market distortions and cracks in U.S. private credit—began to converge. • Middle East Conflict Drives Volatility – Renewed war in the Middle East pressured risk appetite globally, pushing equities lower, credit spreads wider and crude oil prices higher. • Bond Yields Rise Sharply – Higher oil prices lifted inflation expectations, reducing the odds of rate cuts and contributing to a meaningful selloff in bond markets. • Defensive Portfolio Positioning – We entered the year cautious on both rates and credit, with low duration, credit hedges and pair trades designed to protect capital in volatile conditions. • Focus on Capital Preservation – In an increasingly uncertain market environment, our fixed income approach remains centered on preserving client capital while seeking stable, acceptable returns. The full February 2026 written Fixed Income Commentary, including detailed attribution tables, will be published shortly on our website. #FixedIncome #BondMarket #CreditSpreads #PrivateCredit #MarketVolatility #InterestRates #Inflation #MiddleEastConflict #PortfolioManagement #RiskManagement #CapitalPreservation #FixedIncomeInvesting #CreditMarkets Disclaimer: http://bit.ly/2ukaOCr

The data is clear-Canadian consumers are tightening their wallets. You’ve likely read the headlines. You’ve seen the charts. But what’s the real story behind the Bank of Canada’s latest Q1 2025 Consumer Expectations Survey, and what does it mean for your business? Let me save you time. 🔎 The Short Version: →We’re witnessing a consumer mindset shift driven by trade tensions, inflation fears, and weakening job confidence. Here’s what the data says: - Job insecurity is rising, especially in sectors tied to US trade (manufacturing, logistics, construction). - 67% of Canadians now expect a recession in the next 12 months (up from 47%). - Consumers are cutting discretionary spending—vacations, dining, and durables. - Over 50% prefer Canadian-made goods, but many still can’t justify the price premium. - Short-term inflation expectations are rising again, fueled by tariff anxiety. - Mortgage holders are preparing to tighten spending as renewals kick in. None of this is surprising to those of us who follow the market daily. But here’s where it gets practical ⬇ 🧭 What I’d Recommend If You’re Running a Business in Canada Right Now Whether you’re leading a retail brand, scaling B2B services, or managing an SME, this environment calls for strategic restraint with calculated adaptation. 1. Shift From Aspirational to Protective Value ↳ Customers aren’t spending to “upgrade.” They’re spending to protect. ✅ Reframe your messaging: Think peace of mind, security, and smart decision. ✅ Bundle products/services to show enhanced value vs. separate offerings. 2. Lean Into the “Made in Canada” Sentiment (Carefully) ↳ The desire to buy Canadian is real, but conditional. ✅ Offer value-aligned Canadian products without inflating price tags. ✅ Transparently explain sourcing, pricing, and how it supports local jobs. 3. Rebalance Acquisition vs. Retention ↳ You’ll spend more to win a hesitant customer right now. ✅ Focus on loyalty, reactivation, and upselling your current base. ✅ Simplify offers and emphasize outcome, not features. 4. Adapt Your Financial Forecasts ↳ Assume slower growth in Q2/Q3- especially if you sell non-essential or high-ticket items. ✅ Review burn rates, cash flow, and inventory turns. ✅ Explore new funding paths or grants targeting local production. 5. Speak to the Mindset, Not Just the Market ↳ Your audience isn’t just watching prices—they’re watching risk. ✅ Address uncertainty head-on. ✅ Make your business look like the safe choice to buy from or invest in. 🤝 My Final Thought The businesses that do well in this market will not be the ones shouting the loudest. They’ll be the ones who listen best, adapt quickly, and communicate real, grounded value. 💬 What’s the biggest shift you’ve seen from your customers in the past 3 months? #CanadianEconomy #BusinessStrategy #ConsumerInsights

Marketing leaders at SAS unpack why 2026 will not be a year of incremental change, but a fundamental rewrite of how marketing works. From Jennifer Chase (Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, SAS), who explains why brands must move beyond campaign-centric thinking and start building dynamic, connected ecosystems, to Mike Turner, who challenges the relevance of the traditional funnel in favour of AI-driven adaptive models, this feature highlights the major shifts reshaping the discipline. You will also learn how zero-click discovery is set to redefine measurement, why quantum computing could accelerate next-generation analytics, and what the decline of standalone CDPs means for future data strategies.

Being named a finalist for Best Business Innovation at the CanadianSME Awards feels good, but the real achievement is making AI accessible for businesses that don't have Silicon Valley budgets. Too many companies think advanced technology requires completely rebuilding everything they've already built. WSI’s approach focuses on practical AI implementation that delivers measurable results without forcing businesses to throw away systems that already work. Real innovation happens when sophisticated technology becomes simple enough for actual business owners to understand and implement without needing a computer science degree. #BusinessInnovation #AIForSMBs #CanadianBusiness https://lnkd.in/gR5CXZyU

Your competitor just hired a "fractional CMO" who promises AI will "revolutionize your industrial marketing." Here's what they won't tell you: 88% of Canadian manufacturers who adopted AI marketing tools in 2024 saw zero measurable ROI in the first 6 months. The real story from BC's industrial sector: A Burnaby-based precision engineering firm spent $47K on an AI content platform last year. The AI wrote 200+ blog posts about "innovative manufacturing solutions" and "cutting-edge precision engineering." Result? 14 qualified leads. Their plant manager writing one monthly case study about solving a specific vibration problem for a Vancouver high-rise? 31 leads. At $0 cost. Why AI fails in industrial marketing: Your buyers aren't searching "optimize supply chain efficiency." They're Googling "how to prevent concrete spalling in coastal climates" at 11pm because a Squamish project just failed inspection. AI doesn't know that BC Building Code changed moisture barrier requirements in 2023. AI doesn't understand why Port of Vancouver congestion affects your lead times differently than Toronto's. AI can't explain why your solution works better in Richmond's soil conditions. What actually works: Your engineer who solved that problem at the Vancouver Convention Center expansion? Get them on video. 3 minutes. iPhone quality is fine. That spec sheet you created for the Pattullo Bridge replacement project? Turn it into a case study with real numbers. The lunch-and-learn you did for Ledcor's team? Repurpose it into LinkedIn content. The uncomfortable truth: Industrial buyers don't want AI-generated thought leadership. They want proof you've solved their exact problem in their exact geography with their exact constraints. We're working with a Surrey environmental services company right now. Their "boring" photos of actual remediation work in Delta outperform their AI-designed infographics 7:1 on engagement. And engagement from actual decision-makers, not marketing coordinators. Use AI for what it's good at: scheduling posts, resizing images, first-draft editing. Not for understanding why a Kelowna winery needs different wastewater solutions than a Richmond food processor. Your 30-year project manager has more valuable marketing insights than any AI tool. The question is: are you actually capturing that knowledge? What's your experience with AI in industrial marketing? Seeing real results or just real invoices? #IndustrialMarketing #BCBusiness #ManufacturingCanada #B2BMarketing #VancouverBusiness
