Trends show that up 45% of Canada’s workforce will be “on demand” or “freelancing”  by 2020.  Tax revenues – and federal debt -  will increase exponentially by the time boomers are 80.  The role of a “financial quarterback,” managing the broader financial affairs of your customer is here to stay. How do these projections and trends impact the delivery of financial and tax-efficient wealth management services for your clients?

The Vantage Breakfast Series will be taking place twice a year, bringing together thought leaders to hear first-hand perspectives on issues facing today’s wealth management firms from the leading minds in financial services in Canada and internationally. 

You don’t want to miss the opportunity to join other thought leaders in the financial services and enjoy networking, breakfast, and three 20-minute presentations from recognized leaders in the wealth management services sector. Attendance is limited to 70-80 thought leaders, so please be sure to purchase your ticket(s) and/or a table for your firm today. Early Bird pricing is in effect until April 15, 2019.
