When you select finance-sector investments, we recommend that you begin with Canada’s big-five banks due to their long record of profits and rising dividends. We then recommend diversifying your holdings with non-bank finance stocks like these four. Conservative investors should stick with Great-West and IGM. More aggressive investors should also consider Home Capital and Dundee.
