19 COMPLEX BEHAVIORAL ENVIRONMENTS PERCEPTIONS OF THE STATE OF WEALTH DIFFER FOR HNW CLIENTS Inherited Wealth Complex family dynamics Self-Made Millionnaires Gatekeepers, High Expectations Corporate Executives Portfolio Risk Management is Key

20 THE NOTIONS OF WEALTH Spectrum Group 2013 Retail investors PNW <$100,000, before PR: commonly believe it takes $1 million to be rich. The UHNW - $5 million to $10 million to be wealthy. UHNW Inheritors: see themselves as less wealthy. UHNW Entrepreneurs: investors who say their success is based on hard work, education, running a business and luck tend to perceive themselves as more wealthy.

21 BEHAVIORAL FINANCE... BIGGEST WORRY FOR THE VERY RICH? That their children will squander the family fortune. -Survey by Sensus Research of 165 Canadians worth more than $10 Million, for TrueWealth Study, 2006, T. Stenner Group.

22 WARRANTED... 50% of the under-50 s use social networking for investment advice. Cisco s Internet Business Solution Group, March 30, 2011

23 THE FATE OF INHERITANCES A study released in July 2009 by the Bank of Montreal found that of those 65 and older who have already received an inheritance, three-quarters didn t speak to a financial advisor about the windfall. Of those 45 to 65 who had received an inheritance, 80 per cent didn t speak to an advisor.

24 NEEDS Lack of tax efficiency in investment and retirement planning erodes capital Under insurance for accrued value in assets, personal health risk Sale of business issues loss of investment opportunities for tax exempt capital Loss of investment opportunities in complex structures: Partnerships, Corps and Trusts Multi-year tax strategies must include alternative investments, Strategic Philanthropy

25 MORE COMPLEX QUESTIONS How do I avoid high income brackets and surtaxes on my final return? What is the value of accrued capital gains in my taxable asset base? Will I be required to report my offshore properties? Am I subject to US estate taxes? How will currency fluctuations affect the soft costs I need to fund for my vacation property?
