SESSION 5: OLDER CLIENTS—NEW ISSUES IN RETIREMENT INCOME PLANNING

Special Guest Speaker: Doug Nelson, B.Comm.(hons.), CFP, CLU, MFA, CIM, RWM

For the past 20 years discussions have focused on the aging of the baby boom generation. The age of this demographic group is now those between age 53 and 73, with the single biggest age group in 2019 being approximately 63. In the past the focus has been preparing and transitioning into retirement, but now that the bulk of this group is mainly retired, new issues are emerging:

How do we adjust the plan if one client requires care for an extended period of time while one spouse remains healthy and active?How do we adjust the plan if clients have a shorter or longer life expectancy andhow do we measure the impact to their spouse?

How do we help the aging client continue to live with dignity when the family may wish for the client to be placed in care prematurely?

How do we help the aging client in a situation when it appears that someone (family members, or non-family members, a new love interest or a predatory phone solicitor), begins to take advantage of your client and start initiating what may be considered as non-normal or inappropriate behaviour?

In essence, how do we initiate these really hard conversations and create a plan to minimize harm for each of these possible scenarios?

This session is designed to help financial and tax advisors a) recognize the importance of these new emerging issues, b) learn how to identify emerging issues through either the client behaviour, changes to the portfolio or changes seen on the tax return and c) present ideas that can
be incorporated into your practice that would position you and your team to play a crucial role for the client and their family.

SESSION 6: REAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT: CORPORATE OWNER-MANAGER PLANNING IN RETIREMENT

Special Guest Speaker: Doug Nelson, B.Comm.(hons.), CFP, CLU, MFA, CIM, RWM

When the Federal Government unilaterally changed 40 years of historical precedent on how small business owners can organize their corporate structure and manage their profits, advisors have to provide different guidance to their entrepreneurial clients. More specifically, most small

business owners will be restricted in how they can split income, or profit, with other family members, resulting in a higher family tax bill and potentially less flexibility in where and how to invest for retirement. So, the key questions, and challenges, for entrepreneurs approaching retirement are:

How do you minimize tax and maximize after-tax income today and in retirement, based on these new realities?

How can you effectively split income with other family members, in this new and somewhat vague tax regime, and continue to use this approach to minimize tax and build wealth?

How and where to best save and invest for retirement going forward?

Which source of income to draw from first, second and third in retirement, and why?

How has this process changed from advice that may have been given in the past?

Are there new risks that need to be managed?
