Happy Friday from Brenda Miller Family Wealth!

As we edge closer to the end of August, we see that parents and grandparents are doing the back-to-school shopping for their kids. We want to help provide your children with the best opportunities possible and we can do this by assisting you with the finances for their post-secondary education. Please call our office to inquire about a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) and to learn the benefits of contributing to them.

Our bi-weekly economic update talks about a reassuring Q2 earnings season with a caution due to pressure on the job market in the U.S. the weakness of the job report is causing markets to price in a rate cut in the Fall. You can read more about this in our bi-weekly newsletter.

The latest news includes Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Trump having a productive call about trade challenges and opportunities, the U.S. and EU outlining their trade agreement, U.S. jobless claims increasing, and Tiger Woods to lead changes to pro golf.

Although we had to throw this little fish back in the picture, we decided Max was a keeper!

Have a nice weekend,

Brenda, Betina, Matty, Taylor, and Max
