| Everything on Asset Protection Planning | | The significant drop of North America’s stock exchanges, the propensity for litigation and increases in business and financial risks have caused many North Americans to shift their focus from wealth accumulation to wealth preservation. The benefits of a properly structured “asset protection trust” should now become a part of every high net-worth individual’s planning process. The following pages present a comprehensive review of our “International Asset Protection Trust” offering. | | The Offshore Estate Freeze | | Most small to medium sized businesses held in the form of private corporations aspire to grow quickly. However, once that growth is achieved, the owners find that huge capital gains have accrued - on which taxes will eventually have to be paid. Proper planning at the initial stages of a company's growth can save taxes. | | Pre-IPO Planning | | Presently in Canada, the capital growth in certain private Canadian company shares can accrue tax free to the shareholder to a maximum lifetime limit of $500,000. However, 75% of the increase in share value over this limit will be taxed in the hands of the shareholder at personal income tax rates should the shares be sold or transferred. | | Investment Management Process for Trustees | | The risk and returns of stocks, bonds and cash cover a wide spectrum. As trustee, we will need to consider the amount of risk (fluctuation and volatility of investment values) the trust is willing to accept to achieve the returns we want to earn - higher potential returns require higher levels of risk tolerance. To do so we recommend a four-step trust investment process. | | Immigrating to Canada -- First Stop Barbados?? | | For many people, a tropical paradise like the Barbados, with its warm climate, beautiful beaches and tax-preferred status, is the perfect place to relocate. However, the Barbados has the potential of offering financial benefits to individuals even if they never set foot in the country. | | Evaluating Investment Managers - A Systematic Ongoing Process | | Once investors have come to the decision that they would like to delegate the day-to-day investment decision making for their financial portfolio, they must be comfortable with the process involved to choose the appropriate managers.

This is often seen as the cost of living in a country with a high standard of living and social programs such as universal healthcare. However many Canadians continue to leave Canada for foreign postings or to retire abroad. There are several factors that compel Canadians to become. | |
