ppp103 Tax Efficient Retirement Income Planning

$895

Knowledge Bureau

This course marries tax and financial planning competencies in order to help clients adequately fund tax-efficient income requirements by accumulating, growing, preserving and transitioning wealth through three phases of retirement—pre-retirement, in-retirement and post-retirement.

This course allows advisors to develop a consistent process for multi-generational planning that looks at tax efficiency of both income and capital left for spouses and heirs, using cutting edge tools to predict how sustainable savings will be and what can be done through income averaging, income splitting and tax deferral.

ppp104 Succession Planning for Owner-Managers

$895

Knowledge Bureau

This course will help advisors become valuable resources to their clients in the succession planning process. Key concepts include understanding the importance of succession planning for the business and key positions within the business. It focuses on roles and financial issues, from both the perspectives of a business leader and successor. It also addresses the impact of succession on employees and the business as a whole, and succession of the business to third parties.

ppp105 Behavioural Finance in Risk Management

$895

Knowledge Bureau

This course reviews the measurement and calculation of risk and return from the perspective of clients who are now living longer lives. Largely due to advances in preventing heart disease, more awareness, and healthy lifestyles, Canadians who reach age 65 are more likely than ever to live into their 90s. As a result, retirement income planning is a much longer process in which a focus on continued accumulation and investing is as important as the tax-efficient withdrawal of funds. Capital must be preserved at the same time.

ppp106 Planning with Trusts

$895

Knowledge Bureau

This course provides a detailed primer in the subject area featuring common true to life scenarios because every financial advisor who discusses tax, financial or investment plans with clients should have a basic understanding of the taxation of trusts in order to discuss estate planning options with clients.

$895

Smith Consulting

This course will give you a solid understanding of The Smith Manoeuvre tax-deductible mortgage strategy and how it can help your clients not only generate personal wealth from their mortgage but can also significantly augment the growth of your client’s Personal Pension Plan and corporation.
