The Largest Wealth Transfer in History – $1 Trillion to Change Hands by 2026

According to a report by Toronto- based research firm Strategic Insight, approximately $1Trillion in personal wealth will change hands by 2026, with roughly 70 percent of that in the form of financial assets.  In fact, this is already taking place, as Baby Boomers and Gen X transfer their wealth to Millennials and GenZ. 

Although the most common transfer of this wealth will be to family members, there are also many Canadians who would like to make an impact with their wealth.  Consider these reasons individuals donate to charities:

• 89% feel compassion for those in need
• 85% donate to a cause they personally believe in
• 79% want contribute to their community
• 61% are personally affected by the charity’s cause
• 27% donate for religious reasons
• 23% donate to receive an income tax credit

Today’s preview: Gifting Investments

Why You Should Take This CE Savvy Biz Ed™ Course:  Most wealthy Canadians are already philanthropic, but there is still plenty of room for additional contributions at higher giving levels. There is a great opportunity for high-net-worth Canadians to speak to their financial advisors to foster further discussions about philanthropy that focuses on impact, values and financial success. In this module, you will learn about the different types of planned gifts that might be appropriate for different circumstances or life-stages.

What You Will Learn in this CE Savvy Biz Ed™ Course: Planning a legacy gift to a favourite charity is a tribute to family and community. The decision is emotional, with financial and historical consequences that can last for generations.

This module is designed to address these issues by introducing the benefits of donating appreciated property, specifically appreciated securities.
