FIRESIDE CHAT: DOING GOOD
You’ve likely heard about social financing: the collaborative investment of public, private and philanthropic funds to re-image our economic structure to build a “Social Infrastructure Network”. At it’s core – doing good is the big idea.
An important discussion is taking place in Canada and tax professionals will not want to miss their chance to weigh in by the September 30 consultation deadline. Specifically, the federal government wishes to “modernize” the GAAR – General Anti Avoidance Rules - after a series of 24 losses in court. Here are the issues:
The financial services industry lost a highly respected member of its community. Dr. Paul Bates, M.T.S., DPT, FCPA, FCMA, CMC who was an exemplary, accomplished man, a fellow financial author and educator, an outstanding humanitarian and family man, and for so many of us, a true and dear friend.
An exciting development over the past few decades has been the democratization of alternative investments, bringing these once exclusive set of investments to an ever-increasing group of investors. Advisors must be ready to discuss these products and help their clients navigate the risks and opportunities within the current market.
The alternative investment session at DAC Oct 16-18, led by Jennifer Louth, Sr. Learning Consultant FT Academy, Franklin Templeton, covers all of that and more.
