TORONTO, Jan. 21, 2026 /CNW/ – Daiichi Sankyo (TSE: 4568) has further established its presence in Canada with the official opening of its permanent headquarters in Toronto, including additional operational and research and development investment, underscoring the strategic importance of Canada in the growth of Daiichi Sankyo as a global leader in oncology.

Investment in Canadian headquarters fuels expansion of Canadian operations, advancing access to innovative cancer medicines.

“Establishing a permanent headquarters in Toronto represents a significant milestone in our global expansion and reflects the strong commitment of Daiichi Sankyo to patients and partners in Canada,” said Masahiro Kato, Managing Director, Europe and Canada, Daiichi Sankyo. “Canada is home to a vibrant healthcare and life sciences ecosystem where we see immense potential for continued growth through scientific innovation and collaboration, solidifying Canada’s role as a global contributor to improve standards of care.”

“Our government is protecting Ontario by cutting taxes and red tape, saving businesses $12 billion a year so that we can drive economic growth and welcome investments just like this one. Daiichi Sankyo’s investment will help create good-paying jobs, strengthen our economy and reinforce Ontario’s position as a world-class hub for innovation and health research. I want to thank Daiichi Sankyo for their confidence in Ontario’s incredible workers,” said Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

“This opening marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Daiichi Sankyo in Canada where we are further establishing our presence in Toronto as we continue to expand access to our oncology portfolio,” added Fatih Yedikardeş, Country Manager, Canada, Daiichi Sankyo. “This expansion means improving access to our medicines and strengthening our partnerships with healthcare professionals and the broader life sciences community in Canada.”

“As the largest life sciences jurisdiction in Canada, Ontario is a prime location for domestic and international pharmaceutical companies to establish their headquarters and advance their research from lab to market. We congratulate Daiichi Sankyo on the opening of their new Canadian headquarters here in Toronto and look forward to seeing the next chapter of their biomedical innovation that will leverage Ontario’s highly skilled workforce and R&D capabilities,” said Vic Fedeli, Ontario Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade.

Over the past two years, Daiichi Sankyo has supported 18 oncology clinical trials across 43 sites in Canada, working with top cancer centres such as Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, CHUM, BC Cancer, McGill University Health Centre and The Ottawa Hospital.

“By establishing their Canadian headquarters in Toronto, Daiichi Sankyo is affirming Ontario’s place as a hub of health innovation. This investment in Ontario will advance access to innovative cancer medicines for Ontario families, building on our government’s actions to date to connect patients to cutting-edge, life-saving cancer drugs faster,” added Sylvia Jones, Ontario Deputy Premier and Minister of Health.

To mark the occasion, Daiichi Sankyo hosted an office opening celebration featuring a traditional Kagami Biraki (sake barrel breaking) ceremony, symbolizing new beginnings, harmony and prosperity, followed by a Japanese taiko drumming performance honouring the company’s cultural heritage. The event brought together company leadership, government representatives and partners to commemorate the milestone.

The official opening of the Daiichi Sankyo headquarters in Canada cements its position as a dedicated partner in the Canadian healthcare system. Driven by strategic investment and a rapidly expanding team, Daiichi Sankyo is focused on accelerating access to its oncology pipeline and building a healthier future for Canadians.

]]> The Most Accurate Predictions for the Investment Market in 2026 https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/the-most-accurate-predictions-for-the-investment-market-in-2026/ Thu, 08 Jan 2026 10:56:34 +0000 https://business.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=936675

The Most Accurate Predictions for the Investment Market in 2026

Qu Yan (Leo) recently wrote a detailed market outlook for 2026, focusing on trends across Canadian banking, U.S. equity valuations, MICs, crypto, and gold.

Given the current level of market uncertainty, many investors are reconsidering allocation strategies — this article breaks down key risks and opportunities in a clear, data-driven way.

As we look back at 2025, one thing is clear : Investors who placed their money in stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs generally enjoyed strong returns. Now that we’ve entered December, the full-year outlook still appears positive.

Meanwhile, recent earnings reports from Scotiabank and RBC reveal a significant boost driven by robust capital markets and wealth management activities. As Canada’s largest bank, RBC’s profit surged 29% to $5.4B CAD, while Scotiabank delivered $2.2B CAD in net profit.

These numbers highlight a key truth: Canada’s major banks—with their strong compliance frameworks and comprehensive wealth-management teams—continue to attract high-quality clients who need integrated financial services. For high-net-worth individuals in Canada, managing liquid assets through the banking system remains an excellent option, and current earnings reinforce this view.

Most retail wealth-management activities in Canada still take place within banks.

Why So Many Young Professionals Choose Banking ?

It’s no surprise that young people pursuing finance gravitate toward banks:

  • Clear career progression
  • Strong compliance and well-established platforms
  • Sticky, stable client relationships
  • Easier client acquisition
  • A broad environment to learn the fundamentals of the financial industry

Banks have the widest ecosystem among all financial institutions. That’s why I often encourage young professionals to grow their careers there. Working with diverse clients strengthens practical skills and deepens understanding of the core mechanics of Canadian finance.

Finance is an upstream industry—if you work within it, you gain wider access to information and resources. And as long as you stay committed, you can grow quickly. Banks also allow you to internalize Canada’s strict compliance standards, which is invaluable.

To be honest, I admire young people who have the chance to start in banks. For mid-career immigrants like me, however, entering a bank as a teller and restarting from the bottom isn’t an ideal fit. Bank roles also require several investment-related licenses in Canada, which can be a heavy burden at this stage of life.

Young people have time to study for exams like the CSC, CFP, CFA, FRM, accumulate experience, and rise over time. But by the time someone like me completes the same path, I’d likely be past 50. I want to achieve financial freedom earlier, not follow a long, linear career ramp again.

That’s why I didn’t pursue banking—not because I couldn’t, but because I couldn’t find a role that matched my experience. Banks often expect more from employees than corporate roles. In contrast, at my current lending institution, my skills and experience translate into value much faster, allowing me to contribute meaningfully and grow the company’s productivity.

For someone like me, leveraging accumulated expertise to create immediate value is the most efficient path.

Banking vs. Exempt Market Investing

Banks operate in the trillions-sized secondary market, offering a wide range of investment products. The exempt market, where I currently work, is different—its offerings are more niche, designed for high-net-worth investors to diversify risk.

But our products remain popular because they maintain low correlation with traditional bank wealth products. When massive market volatility or “Black Swan” events hit, MICs can help limit downside risk, making them a strong option for conservative investors.

My View on U.S. Equity Valuations

This week, I reviewed major U.S. companies’ valuations—PEG ratios, EV metrics, and more. Although giants like Apple, Nvidia, Google, and Meta are globally competitive, the valuations of the top three now show PEG ratios above 2, which generally suggests “overpriced.”

PEG compares valuation to earnings growth—the higher the PEG, the more expensive the stock.

Value investing requires buying strong, competitive companies at reasonable prices. Buying when valuations are high exposes investors to significant downside risks.

Morningstar’s data currently shows the overall U.S. market is highly valued.
This connects to several factors:

  • A strong USD
  • Positive U.S. macroeconomic data
  • Trump’s aggressive tariff policies
  • Global capital flowing toward U.S. high-yield assets

Hot money is pushing equity prices higher across liquid secondary markets.
Therefore, the risk level is elevated.

This is why I urge investors reading this to remain cautious with U.S. equities. Personally, U.S. stocks make up only 20% of my portfolio—I believe future volatility may be severe even if we can’t see it yet.

Many investors who have already made substantial gains are reallocating into undervalued, high-potential assets. They see the same thing: high U.S. valuations.

Lessons From Canada’s Housing Market

It’s similar to what happened in Canada’s residential real-estate market. When prices peaked in 2022, many agents encouraged buyers by saying, “Prices will keep rising!”

People unfamiliar with macroeconomics or the housing cycle rushed in… By 2025, their assets dropped more than 20% in value.

I’m one of the people who didn’t buy at the peak. I continued renting, and I still haven’t purchased a home today. I believe Canada’s housing market may continue to decline because of broader economic concerns.

For first-time buyers, this is painful—and even more so for property investors.
That’s why, I prefer loan-based fixed-income products:

  • They provide stable returns
  • They avoid asset-price depreciation risks

Crypto & Gold: My Short-Term Outlook

Crypto

After a sharp 30% correction, crypto is currently building a base. This sector remains a core part of future financial innovation, with strategic significance for many countries. With growing global participation and improved liquidity from exchanges like Binance, the long-term direction remains bullish.

Gold

Gold has inherent physical value and acts as a hard currency. Although it doesn’t generate recurring yield like an MIC does, its price is supported by global geopolitical instability and aggressive accumulation by nations—especially China, which is preparing for long-term strategic goals like resolving the Taiwan issue.

From late 2023 until now, gold has doubled, an unprecedented surge.
I suggest holding and observing.

Bitcoin? Buy dips and continue holding long-term.

MICs? I maintain my view: They remain a strong allocation choice for boosting overall return while diversifying risk.

Final Thoughts

2026 will be a year of both opportunity and uncertainty. Different asset classes will behave differently, and smart allocation—not speculation—will determine long-term success.

]]> DEFENDER OCTA BLACK: THE ROCK STAR OF LUXURY 4X4s MADE IN THE UK https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/defender-octa-black-the-rock-star-of-luxury-4x4s-made-in-the-uk/ Tue, 06 Jan 2026 18:37:45 +0000 https://mens.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=936621

Defender OCTA Black: Rugged luxury

A real rock star

The Defender OCTA, the master of extreme performance on and off-road, now has an even bolder counterpart : The Defender OCTA Black.

With an all-black aesthetic for high performance, the hero of the 4x4s gives the most powerful and luxurious model in the Defender family an even stronger presence and more assertive luxury.

A sign of this transformation: no fewer than 30 exterior elements feature black finishes. The colour of the Defender OCTA Black is Narvik Black, the most intense black in the Defender palette. It is a deep, dark black with a standard gloss finish, but customers can customise the exterior of their OCTA Black by choosing a matt black protective film.

The lower front shield and rear sill plates are finished in Satin Black, as are the rear towing rings, while the front towing eye cover and Gloss Black quad exhaust tips provide a contrasting finish.

The Land Rover oval on the grille is black with dark silver lettering. Even the underbody components feature a Gloss Black or Satin Black finish, including the exhaust silencer guard, centre differential and optional electric deployable tow bar.

There is a choice between 20-inch forged wheels or 22-inch Gloss Black wheels, with black wheel covers and Defender lettering in Shadow Atlas, while the Gloss Black brake calipers feature contrasting Sentient Silver lettering.

To match the dramatic black exterior, the interior of the Defender OCTA Black takes rugged luxury to a new level. Semi-Aniline ebony leather and KvadratTM are introduced to the Defender for the first time, giving the Performance seats a soft-touch finish. They feature unique perforation patterns with new stitching on the seatbacks, while the rear seats and armrest hinges are finished in Carpathian Grey, adding a bold touch to every element.

On the dashboard, the dashboard crossbar finish is finished with a coat of Satin Black powder, with an option of fragmented carbon fibre for certain interior details, adding the ultimate touch of rugged luxury.

“There is no denying the character and mission of the Defender OCTA: it is the tallest and widest of the Defenders, enabling it to tackle the most challenging terrain even more effectively. The introduction of the Defender OCTA Black takes things up a notch. We know our customers love to give their Defender an all-black finish, and our designers have applied this principle to every possible surface – inside and out – to create the ultimate luxury touch for the Defender OCTA.” MARK CAMERON, MANAGING DIRECTOR, DEFENDER.

The Defender OCTA is the extreme performance hero of the invincible Defender family, featuring a 635PS Bi-Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, 6D Dynamics suspension and an OCTA mode dedicated to off-road performance. It also features Body and Soul seats, which allow front Performance seat occupants to not only hear the music they love, but feel it too. Developed in partnership with specialist company SUBPACTM and using audio signals from the 15 speakers of the MeridianTM Surround Sound System, this immersive high-fidelity vibro-acoustic technology incorporates the same artificial intelligence software used by leading artists and composers.

The Defender OCTA Black benefits from the latest enhancements to the Defender line-up, including a new headlight design with a refreshed graphic signature and rear lights fitted with smoked lenses. Inside the cabin, a new touchscreen opens up an even more intuitive infotainment system.

Price From : 213 100 $

EDITOR’S FAVORITE: MICHEL HADDI

Michel Haddi is an artist and visionary in the world of art, photography, and much more. He also has a passion for music and all forms of art. His artistic signature is unique.

When we talk with Michel Haddi, we talk about the future. Michel always sees ahead, like us. He is a legendary photographer because of his photographic vision. He has immortalized several celebrities (Kate Moss, Tupac Shakur … to name a few) with a different angle, a perfect mastery of shadow and light, everything is a question of angle and emotion in my opinion. He has this natural genius to capture and sublimate the moment.

It’s impossible to summarize his artistic career because words would be too bland, in my opinion. All you have to do is contemplate, observe, listen, and read, because Michel Haddi also publishes beautiful books and magazines with his wonderful team. And I’ll have the opportunity to talk to you about them very soon.

https://mhspublishing.com/publications/surf/

We’ll be doing an ITV podcast with him soon. But in the meantime, I invite you to visit his website:  https://michelhaddistudio.com/

]]> Towards a democratization of art: the market in full mutation. https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/towards-a-democratization-of-art-the-market-in-full-mutation/ Sat, 23 Aug 2025 13:27:09 +0000 https://news.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=935149

The “Art Basel & UBS Art Market Report 2025” confirms a profound transformation of the global art market. While the total value of sales declined by 12% in 2024, transaction volume increased by 3%, reaching more than 40.5 million sales. This contrast illustrates a major shift: growth is now concentrated in the most accessible segments.

Key figures from the UBS / Art Basel 2025 report :

  • Major works (+10M $): -39% in volume, market share down from 23% to 18%.
  • Intermediate works (50K – 1M $): stable, but under buyer caution.
  • Affordable works (<$5K): +7% in value, +13% in volume.
  • New buyers: 44% of buyers were new in 2024, primarily young forty-somethings looking for small, accessible works, both in terms of price and comprehension. Pop art, which features icons, particularly appeals to this new generation of collectors.

Furthermore, 52% of acquisitions involved works by emerging or new artists, reinforcing the interest in accessibility and novelty (Artsy).

Main motivations:

  • 96.3% buy for personal pleasure.
  • 87% to support the talents they love.
  • Only 7% consider investment an important factor (MyArtBroker).

Closures of traditional art galleries mark the transition

The recent closure of iconic New York galleries, such as Kasmin Gallery (after 35 years of operation) and Blum Galleries, which closed in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, as well as Clearing Gallery NY, shocked the art world. But these events, which also took place in major capitals across five continents, confirm that the traditional “old-fashioned” model must evolve to keep pace with the expectations of a new generation of collectors.

7Art Concept Store: anticipating change

“Art is what you can get away with.”

“Drawing inspiration from this famous quote, which was the guiding principle of Andy Warhol’s work, we have made it our philosophy.” It is in this spirit that 7Art, founded in 2006 by Audrey and François Trabelsi, has established itself as a visionary and pioneering player.

Already in 2008, during Art Basel Miami, Audrey and François produced the exhibition “In Fashion Photo” in a parking lot of more than 2,000 m2.

The main theme of this new kind of exhibition was the only retrospective dedicated to the career of supermodel Naomi Campbell, seen by the world’s greatest photographers. The event attracted more than 25,000 visitors in just 4 days. At that time, traditional galleries did not yet consider fashion photography as an art form… Galleries were then opened in Miami, New York, London and Paris…

INTERVIEW AUDREY TRABELSI – 7ART

Art after Covid-19: 7Art Concept Store, a new generation of galleries is born

 » The Covid-19 crisis marked a decisive turning point in the art world. For more than 18 months, our galleries in Paris (Hôtel Royal Monceau) and London (Four Seasons Ten Trinity) remained closed. This ordeal highlighted a profound change among collectors. We then understood that a new generation of buyers was emerging: younger, more curious, in search of works that resembled them and reflected their times. This generation no longer recognized itself in the rigid and intimidating codes of traditional galleries. It was at this moment that we made a visionary decision: to reinvent the art gallery model.

We designed a new, accessible and authentic offering, featuring works for less than $5,000, whereas our average was previously around $20,000. The immediate success of this approach confirmed our intuition: art had to leave its elitist temples and enter the daily lives of all those who love creation. Today, with 7ART Concept Store, we embody this breakthrough: a new generation of galleries that makes art closer, more understandable, more affordable, while remaining demanding and signed by emerging or established artists. The immediate success with new collectors confirmed our vision: the concept of 7Art Concept Store, where you can find accessible, unique or limited edition pieces, is a success, because nothing justified the exorbitant price of certain works offered by some of the traditional galleries. To date, 7Art cooperates with over a hundred artists and presents more than 1,500 works in a unique collection, also available on their new international website: www.7artusa.com.

7ART’s business model

Investing in the lobbies of large luxury hotels, on an average surface area of ​​25 m2 and, in less than 3 years, 7 openings in Dubai… Others are in progress for 2026.

  • W Hotel – The Palm
  • Jumeirah Zabeel Saray
  • Royal Atlantis The Palm
  • Marriott Resort – The Palm Dubai
  • Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel Dubai
  • Waldorf Astoria Palm Jumeirah
  • Grosvenor House West Marina Beach

International expansion

“After validating our model in Dubai, one of the most competitive markets for luxury and tourism, we are now ready to expand internationally, primarily in the USA as a second step.”

Our strategy is based on three main axes:

  • Hotel partnerships: continue to develop strategic partnerships with luxury hotel groups, based on the same model as the one tested in Dubai.
  • Flagships: opening directly owned stores in major cities to establish the brand’s reputation and prestige image.
  • Franchise: Offering franchise experiences with partners in major cities and tourist destinations where luxury and culture intersect. The development of our model is naturally replicable in other countries with strong market potential, with low risk and high potential returns for investors and partners.
