• Late 90s vs today??• Incredibly aggressive vs incredibly timid

We Need To Communicate

• What is and what is not covered by government programs

• Health risk issues do not only involve dying. It applies to the living and their caregivers.

• The costs of coverage are far less than the cost of care - annual tax-free vs. daily benefit

• These tools provide choice and independence• Remember the health care system 15 years ago


Wealth Transfer


Benefits of Consolidating

• Better planning, no conflicting advice, less confusion• More control over amounts and sources of income• More efficient asset allocation / better portfolios• More opportunity for tax-efficiency / savings• Less administration - reporting, number of cheques• More orderly, expedient and less costly wealth

transfer – easier for beneficiaries and estate• More efficiency, better control, simplified


• Define their objectives• Establish an income and investment process• Cover off health-risk contingencies• Plan and implement wealth transfer strategies• Create freedom by creating structure• Help them to get the most out of their best
