Investing for the long term means that one must examine where one is investing as much as what one is investing in. Canada shines strongly as a destination for investment.
Canadian banks are among the strongest in the world and are still lending, leading to greater stability for the economy and investors
Canada has large reserves of oil and other natural resources, which will benefit Canada when inflation returns and when the world again turns its attention to the key long term shortages of non renewable natural resources that the world needs
Canada has a fiscally responsible government that has (except in the current environment) allowed it to run current account, trade and budget surpluses and pay down national debt
Canada is a politically stable democracy with strong regulations and the observance of legal process. As Canadians, we tend to take this for granted but these qualities are quite rare in a global context. Investors in emerging market nations take considerable risks when investing that go beyond just economic and market risks
Canada has one of the lowest debt to GDP ratios of the major developed nations, giving it exceptional financial flexibility and reducing the risk of Canada being forced to debauch the currency and create excessive inflation
All of the above mean that Canada´s economy, while not immune to the global economy, is better positioned than those of almost any major nation in the world. Canada is definately one of the best countries in the world from a stability point of view. Our REIT only invests in apartment properties in Canada.
