Investments in Canada are rising, or so they say; the positive outlook for the Canadian market<\/a> leads to more investments. However, these investments are well-concentrated in stocks, bonds, and equities. <\/p>\n

Most investors invest on a global scale and tend to overlook investment opportunities found in their own backyard. However, when was the last time you visited the headquarters of Apple in California? <\/p>\n

Have you met Tim Cook and his supporting staff to understand the future growth potential of the company and then try and deduce your findings down to the potential company performance and where the stock might be heading? <\/p>\n

This is where your local expertise<\/i><\/b> holds an advantage and comes into play. Knowing your own backyard and the businesses that exist in that realm provides you an added advantage that the globally minded investors simply won\u2019t have. <\/p>\n

Investing locally has a multitude of advantages beyond just knowing the physical space that they operate in. Let\u2019s take a deeper dive into a term not commonly found\u2014locavesting<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n

The rise of locavesting<\/h2>\n

Local businesses are the essential backbone of a city\u2019s economy. The income generated by these businesses locally is recycled back into the local community. Local investments grow tax base<\/a> and build an expanding community of investors. <\/p>\n

If we take a closer look, it creates a domino effect. When a community starts to sell ideas and open business opportunities, there will be job openings, demand for product and services, transportation, and the trickle-down effect continues from there. In the long run, domestic investments will expand to positively impact the national economy\u2019s growth. <\/p>\n
