Lower your tax bill While all affluent families share a top priority – paying less tax – we assist each one with personally-tailored solutions. Taxation is the largest expense affluent investors will ever face, especially in our current low-interest economy. We can advise you regarding the investments, philanthropic strategies and insurance solutions that will help you pay the taxman no more than is absolutely necessary. Recommending appropriate strategies to lower your tax bill, from your annual tax filing to sophisticated tax planning all starts with our financial discovery meeting. We know the latest tax strategies, take advantage of effective income splitting among family members, and invest tax efficiently to improve your long-term financial success in the context of your goals. Working directly with your other advisors including lawyers and accountants to deliver integrated strategies is our goal. In addition, our service costs on your non-registered and corporate investment accounts are tax deductible. | | Protect your best asset: your earning years As a licensed life insurance advisor, Rosemary is qualified to provide life, critical illness and disability insurance to protect your income, lifestyle and loved ones. While life insurance becomes important once you’re a parent and can be helpful in tax-effective estate planning, we can show you why it’s so essential to protect the income you would normally earn during your working years from interruptions due to a critical illness or disability. Sickness and accidents happen a lot more often than sudden early death. Income protection is important because it keeps you from having to dip into savings or liquidate investments to pay the mortgage and bills for months on end. |
Maximize your charitable support Helping you give back to your community in a meaningful and sustainable way is a passion of Rosemary’s. We can help you support causes that matter to you in context of your comprehensive wealth management strategy. Today, many families designate a portion of their wealth to charity while they are still living to witness the impact of their generosity and reap considerable tax benefits. The act of giving enriches us. Whether you are just starting to identify your charitable vision or seeking to give more strategically, we look forward to helping you and your money to achieve something significant. | | Leave a legacy Your family is important to you and their financial security if you were to pass away is a noble consideration. Leaving a legacy in the form of a gift or inheritance to your family is a rewarding experience, paying tribute to the people and values that shaped your life. This goal can be easily accomplished by including a gift in your will, purchasing a segregated fund or by means of an insurance policy. Your bequest will play a crucial role in the future of the next generation. |
Travel and other joys You’ve worked hard and taken risks – you deserve a lifestyle that involves plenty of travel and the major purchases that make life amazing. We can help you plan to make sure that joy is always within your budget. | | Fund your kids’ and grandkids’ education Contributing early to an RESP can help make post-secondary education more affordable as tuition rates skyrocket and education becomes increasingly important for career development. With more time for your money to grow, your contributions can be smaller and will maximize your children’s or grandchildren’s Canada Education Savings Grants (CESGs). Contributions are eligible to receive a CESG up to $500 of the first $2,500 contributed to the plan every year for each beneficiary under the age of 18. |
Educational seminars on managing sudden wealth The time is now to start preparing to be a smart custodian of the wealth your family has worked hard to build. As stewards of your family’s financial affairs, we hope to coach you as you assume your new role as an affluent investor. Rosemary has hosted many workshops for new investors for over a hundred professionals and inheritors. The goal is to equip and inform you with the basic knowledge to make investment decisions and the responsibility of affluence. | | International money transfers made easy We have linked with one of the world's largest online foreign exchange companies to help you save money with more competitive exchange rates.
