Integrated Structuring
Tax & Estate Structuring
We position assets for minimum taxation & optimum return.
Investment Structuring & Retirement Structuring
Our investment strategies provide optimum tax-adjusted returns and we prepare retirement income analyses and projections.
For higher net worth clients, we use Connor, Clark & Lunn, the largest independent Investment Counsellor in Canada. Investment Counsellors bring all the depth of pension fund management to the retail investor and, by providing neither brokerage services nor underwriting services, they eliminate potential conflicts of interest, ensuring the independence of research and investment decisions. In addition to generating strong risk-adjusted returns, they are especially skilled at the complex task of continuously managed diversification. CC&L’s innovativeness is evidenced by their Alternative Asset strategies – High Yield Bonds, Private Capital, Real Estate, Infrastructure and Private Equity.
Business Insurance Structuring
We assist business owners with corporate continuity, succession and the maximum of after-tax values. We assist with tax effective compensation plans while protecting the business against the death or illness of key employees.
Investment & Holding Companies
Much wealth is ‘trapped’ in investment and holding companies insofar as the extraction tax on withdrawal is high. At the same time, there is often pregnant tax liability with high share value and a low adjusted cost base. We often can minimize these tax issues.
