Proven Track Record
MGIS 6-Paks, formally launched in 2006, have consistently delivered superior performances. Both the Canadian Equity and Dividend 6-Paks are routinely re-balanced and measured in our subscriber Investment Letters.
Trust
In a world of disruption, market extremes, and ever-increasing complexity, investors can count on MGIS' vast investment industry experience to deliver solid advice combining sound fundamentals with proven and unwavering standards.
In 2005, Michael and Bryan Snelson co-authored Portfolio First Aid, followed in 2009 by Financial First Aid, both published by John Wiley & Sons, Canada Ltd.
Endorsements include those by:
John Crow, former Governor of the Bank of Canada, "We all make investment mistakes, Portfolio First Aid is packed with
advice on how to avoid them - and profit",
David Denison, President and Chief Executive Officer, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board": Portfolio First Aid takes
principles of investing, and makes them simple and actionable - in a highly engaging and entertaining style. This book will
be invaluable to investors and their portfolios, not just as first aid, but also as preventive medicine."
Brian Aspinall, a retired IBM Canada executive, wrote in April 2020: "After exhausting the stack of books I borrowed from the
library before the closedown, I started to read those on my bookshelf, including Portfolio First Aid which I found
a good refresher. Although some things have changed, many have not and it stands the test of time well."
