February NEWSLETTER
Did you know...
When is the next leap year? 2020.
A leap year is any year with 366
days instead of the usual 365 days.
Therefore, leap day in 2020 will fall
on Saturday, February 29th.
So...why the extra day?
It was the ancient Egyptians who first figured out that the solar year and the calendar year didn't always match up.
That's because it actually takes the
Earth a little longer than a year to travel around the Sun —
365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds, to be ex-
act.
Therefore, as hours have accumulated over the centuries,
an extra day was occasionally added to the calendar, and
over time the practice became more or less official.
The Romans first designated February 29 as leap day, but
a more precise formula (still in use today) was adopted in
the 16th century when the Gregorian calendar fine-tuned
"The word February is believed to have derived from the name
'Februa' taken from the Roman 'Festival of Purification'. The
root 'februo' meaning to 'I purify by sacrifice'. As part of the sea-
sonal calendar February is the time of the 'Ice Moon' according
to Pagan beliefs, and the period described as the 'Moon of the
Dark Red Calf' by Black Elk. February has also been known as
'Sprout-kale' by the Anglo-Saxons in relation to the time the
kale and cabbage was edible."

What is the Rule of 72?
Investing is all about the numbers. In choosing and evaluating investments, critical decisions are made every day based on, among other things, an in-depth understand-ing of the numbers attached to a project. Investors are often focused on predicting just how long it will take to recoup their investment and realize a gain. The “Rule of 72” is a useful tool employed to estimate the number of years required to double an initial investment based on a specified annual rate of return.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR YOUR INVESTMENT TO DOUBLE?
The Rule of 72 formula is a simple variation on an ancient mathematical logarithm:
Years to Double = 72 ÷ Interest Rate
By way of example, a investment anticipating a 6% annual rate of return will offer in-vestors the opportunity to double their initial investment in 12 years.
72 ÷ 6 = 12 years to double initial investment
It is important to remember that the Rule of 72 is a tool used to estimate the rate of
return on investments. No one can accurately predict everything that will happen
during the life of an investment, but understanding the Rule of 72 can help forecast in-
vestment growth and wealth accumulation. The great thing about it is that you don’t
need a complicated Excel spreadsheet or financial calculator to peek into the future.
THE WONDERS OF COMPOUND INTEREST
If your current retirement portfolio is valued at $100,000 and you are averaging 9% in annual returns,
based on the Rule of 72, your portfolio will double and increase to $200,000 in 8 years. In another 8
years, your retirement nest egg should increase to $400,000 – and this does not even include any new
money contributed made after the initial $100,000. Welcome to the wonders of compound interest –
every investor’s best friend! In order to take advantage of the many benefits of compound interest,
you must start investing early and think long term. It is no wonder that Albert Einstein is rumoured to
have once referred to compound interest as “one of the most powerful forces in the universe.”
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR INVESTMENTS TO LOSE VALUE?
Just as the Rule of 72 can help predict how long it will take to double your money, the same rule can estimate how long it will take for money to lose its value. If you were to take the same $10,000 inher-itance from Aunt Betty and stash it under your mattress, it will inevitably lose value over time due to the ravages of inflation. In this case, you will need to divide 72 by an assumed rate of inflation. Let’s use 4% for our example. 72 ÷ 4 = 18. In 18 years, the $10,000 stuck in a drawer or an equivalent low-interest account will have lost one-half of its value.
Obviously, there are many other factors to consider when choosing and evaluating investment vehicles and platforms. There are no “sure things” and every investment will follow its own track, but the Rule of 72 equips investors with the ability to make quick mental calculations in comparing products and en-visioning their financial. Perhaps most importantly, it’s a reminder to get moving and start investing now if you hope to secure a comfortable future.

HOW ARE PREMIUMS CALCULATED?
HOW ARE PREMIUMS CAL CULATED?
Each insurance policy starts with a base premium (currently, this is $1,063).
Your premium then increases or decreases depending on aspects related to the vehicle (such as its use and location) and its drivers – their experience and crash history.
Of the driver portion, the majority (75%) will be based on the principal driver – the person who drives the car the most. The remaining 25% will be based on the listed driver with the highest risk.*
