About this episode
Long term investing sounds simple until the market throws fear, noise, bubbles, tariffs, and headlines at you. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Winnie Go, Senior Wealth Advisor & Portfolio Manager with Scotia Wealth Management, for a grounded, battle-tested conversation shaped by her 30 years in the markets.Winnie breaks down why high-quality companies, discipline, and diversification—not hype—are what actually build wealth over decades. She explains how she navigated the fear of 2008, what today’s bubble chatter gets wrong, why tech and gold can rally together in this strange new market, and why selling too early is one of the most common investor mistakes.They dig into what’s working now: earnings growth, overlooked sectors like healthcare, the steady strength of Canadian dividends, and why “boring” names in financials and utilities often win the long game. She also shares what she avoids completely and how investor behavior has shifted—especially for women—over the course of her career.The Scotiabank Women Initiative is committed to helping women grow their businesses, advance their careers and invest in their futures, so they can succeed on their own terms.
