My presentation is the one titled Semi-Retirement: the Halfway House between Employment and Full Retirement.
It consists of a 45-minute Zoom interview with Kornel is pretty wide-ranging but focuses on Retirement Income, as opposed to Wealth Accumulation. That’s Semi-retirement: or as Doug Dahmer and other retirement gurus have dubbed it, the “Work Optional” phase of our working careers.
Here’s the formal description for that talk:
Should you transition into a semi-retirement instead of a full-stop retirement? What if doing so allowed you to ‘retire’ many years earlier?
Join us as we speak to someone who has done exactly that: Jonathan Chevreau, professional writer and former Editor-in-Chief of MoneySense Magazine takes us through his real-life lessons learned from transitioning to the decumulation phase and actually living off the investment portfolio.
To access the video, click the highlighted title above and scroll down to Jonathan Chevreau, then click on the highlighted name.
We cover:
- How Jon ensures that he doesn’t run out of money in retirement
- The investment withdraw strategy that he prefers
- How he withdraws from his investments in a tax efficient way
- Important lessons to know before transitioning to semi-retirement or full-stop retirement

The Best ETFs in Canada for 2021
In this video presentation, we’re going to cover the top ETFs in Canada, specifically for Canadian investors.
These findings are based on 8 experts in this field who are part of the Best ETFs in Canada Guide which is published annually on MoneySense and written by the one and only Jonathan Chevreau.
In this interview and presentation, we’re going to talk about what the findings were with the creator of the guide, and one of the top Analysts from the panel (Benjamin Felix, Portfolio Manager at PWL Capital).
MoneySense ETF All-Stars talk kicked off the MoneyShow and ETF Investing Virtual Expo
As it happens, the MoneySense ETF All-stars were also a major focus of the MoneyShow and ETF Investing Virtual Expo, which went live on Tuesday, [Sept 21] and wrapped up yesterday [Sept 22.]
While it is now in the past, if you missed my half hour talk Tuesday morning to kick off the MoneyShow, you can find my keynote address here. And here’s the Hub summary published earlier this month. As you can see from the image on the right, it’s a recap of the MoneySense ETF All-Stars 2021 and how retirees and those still accumulating retirement savings can use ETFs to meet their long-term financial goals. The slides, many of them from the MoneySense.ca ETF All-stars package available here, should be available after the fact.
The talk was about 25 minutes, followed by a 5-minute Q&A. One of the questions was about the implications of Monday night’s federal election and the renewed Liberal minority government for a change (i.e. rise in) capital gains taxes.
