Toronto MoneyShow Conference Highlights

On Saturday, September 13, 2025, the Canadian MoneySaver team was excited to take part in The Toronto MoneyShow at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. This marked our 13th consecutive year attending the event - a tradition we’re always proud to be a part of. This year’s theme, The Great Canadian Money Reset, could not have been more timely. It was reflected throughout the show in engaging sessions on topics including making the case for investing in Canadian Energy, exploring the growing influence of financial influencers, examining where we stand in the current economic cycle, discussing the hot topic of AI, and much more.

For Canadian MoneySaver subscribers, one of the biggest highlights is always the Canadian MoneySaver Day track of speakers. Once again this year, the line-up of expert speakers and insightful presentations delivered tremendous value.

The day started off with Ryan Modesto (i2i Capital Management) and Jon Erlichman (Ticker Take) session “Ticker Takes”, where they answered audience-submitted questions about stocks and markets to a packed room.  Ryan talked about his top stock ideas and home bias in Canada, while Jon shared a touching story from a past interview with the late Kobe Bryant.

Data often takes a backseat to emotion. Braden Dennis (Fiscal.ai) spoke about “Using Data To Become A Better Investor”. Braden helped attendees to understand ‘why do stocks go up over the long-term’ – a simple sounding question, with a less simple answer!

Next up, Canadian MoneySaver contributing editor Fred Master (author of Lessons on Mastering Money: The Personal Finance Guide for Canadians) tackled one of the most pressing issues facing Canadians today: housing. In his session, “Help With Housing: The Financial Elephant in the Room,” Fred examined the realities of Canada’s housing market reset. His candid answer to the question “How hot are Canadian housing prices?” was clear and emphatic: They are hot!

In his presentation, Benj Gallander (Contra the Herd Investment Letter) shared his contrarian approach to the markets, underscoring the importance of doing your homework — and above all, to read, read, and read some more.

Rounding out the day’s sessions, Chris White (5i Research) highlighted the qualities that make certain companies true long-term winners in his talk on “Characteristics of a Compounder”. The takeaway from Chris’ session was simple: “Comfort wins today. Compounders win over time.”

The overall sentiment throughout the show was one of enthusiasm and optimism. Both participants and speakers generally shared a bullish outlook, creating an atmosphere of energy and excitement.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the MoneySavers who took the time to stop by our exhibition booth to say hello, share their thoughts, and chat with our team. Your engagement and support mean so much to us, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to connect with our community in person.

See you next year!
