Working With an Advisor
Canadians Who Work with an Advisor are More Successful
Advisors have made a tangible difference in the lives of Canadian investors. And the lasting value of advice is constantly being reinforced. Consider the following examples:
Building your wealth
Investors working with advisors are shown to have three times the net worth and four times the investable assets of those who don’t work with an advisor. And, despite the prevailing opinion that advisors only work with the wealthy, the majority of Canadians had investable assets of under $25,000 at the beginning of the advisory relationship.
Keeping your goals on track
Investment returns are important, but saving on a regular basis is equally important when it comes to reaching your financial goals. As shown below, advisors help Canadians in a range of household income brackets stay on track by ensuring they’re saving and investing regularly.
Having confidence in your plan
Sticking to a financial plan can be a challenge, especially through volatile markets. Having professional advice to guide you through difficult markets can play a vital role in helping you stay focused on your long-term goals.
Put more of your money to work
Setting an appropriate asset mix (i.e. bonds, equities and cash) and adjusting it over time as your needs and risk tolerance change is one of the keys to successful investing. Canadians who are advised by a financial professional take a more balanced approach to asset allocation and have significantly more of their assets working for them.
Gain tax efficiency
There are a number of tax-efficient options available to Canadian investors. Not only do advised Canadians take advantage of tax-sheltered registered accounts at about twice the rate of non-advised Canadians, they also have access to a wide range of financial solutions and strategies designed for tax efficiency.
More than just investments
Today’s financial advisor can offer you much more than investment recommendations. Your advisor can provide a wealth of financial planning services and resources that can help you consolidate your finances and guide your family through a lifetime of evolving financial needs.
