Consequently, many affluent individuals find themselves lacking the necessary time and resources to effectively oversee the wealth they have amassed. In order to ensure that your hard-earned assets can grow into generational wealth, you need professionals whom you can trust to plan, grow and protect them. This is why you should consider working with a family wealth manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you divide your time between working hard and enjoying life, a family wealth manager will take control of your portfolio and ensure that it grows into real, lasting generational wealth.

However, safeguarding and transforming this wealth into a lasting heritage for your descendants, brimming with valuable generational assets, demands a distinct approach. Engaging in family wealth planning, in collaboration with a skilled wealth manager, becomes imperative to fortify your assets and transition them from personal riches into enduring familial prosperity.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-net-worth individuals may not have to deal with the kind of financial issues that ordinary wage workers do. Still, substantial wealth comes with its own set of financial and legal issues, which require the help of professional wealth managers to navigate successfully. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wealth manager will use a combination of the following to help you grow and protect your assets:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comprehensive wealth planning<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asset consolidation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk management<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safeguarding investments through insurance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retirement planning<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estate planning<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What are the benefits of having a family office?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-net-worth families should seriously consider engaging in a family office.

However, there are ways that you can minimize the tax liability on your nest egg. Three of the most effective include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Retire in a low tax bracket: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you retire, you don\u2019t necessarily need income, but you do need cash flow. Income is taxable; cash flow is not (at least, not always). You can lower your taxes by having a good mix of fully taxable, low-tax and tax-free income flows.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Retire in a low bracket with tax-efficient investments.<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Lower your taxes on investments using a systematic withdrawal plan (SWP).<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Top inter-generational investment strategies\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunes are difficult to build, but they can be remarkably easy to lose. A large percentage of affluent families lose their wealth by the third generation. Intergenerational wealth transfer is not something that should be left to chance. A proactive approach must be taken to ensure that the wealth remains intact, continues to grow and moves without interruption from one generation to the next. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An investment approach that will foster the creation and maintenance of inter-generational wealth is multifaceted and will consist of a variety of financial instruments, assets and wise management decisions. Prudent, risk-adjusted stock market investments, a well-maintained real estate portfolio, a thriving business that can be passed down through the generations &#8211; all of these will help to develop lasting wealth, provided they are coordinated by a wealth manager with an eye on the long game.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9220\" src=\"https:\/\/nourprivatewealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Top-inter-generational-investment-strategies-scaled-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b><a href=\"\/does-my-family-need-a-fiduciary-portfolio-manager\/\">Does my family need a fiduciary portfolio manager?<\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your family has a high net worth, you need someone with both a complete knowledge of the larger economic situation and your specific assets. You need to be able to turn to them for honest, expert investment advice. At the same time, you want to be sure that this individual always puts your interests first. For these reasons, you must engage a fiduciary portfolio manager to handle your family\u2019s affairs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fiduciary works under an ethical and legal obligation to put their client\u2019s interests first. This means that fiduciaries are held to a higher standard than other advisors. When you work with a fiduciary, there are no conflicts of interest, no proprietary investment products, no fees received for recommending any specific investment products, and full disclosure and transparency at all times. A fiduciary portfolio manager is something no high-net-worth family can do without.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to protect your family\u2019s assets with family wealth planning\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you can pass your wealth on to your children and their children, you need to make sure that there is always wealth to pass on. The need to protect wealth is made easier by the fact that many wealth transfer strategies have built-in protection benefits. Effective estate planning will preserve your family\u2019s wealth by removing your name from assets and putting them into legally-protected vehicles such as irrevocable trusts, asset protection trusts or limited liability entities. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npw.ca\/our-services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance policies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are also essential tools to safeguard your assets. Your wealth manager will be able to advise on the best solutions to protect your particular combination of assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Best family wealth planning strategies for insurance policies\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from insurance that covers your assets against loss, the most important policy you should include in your estate is life insurance. Obviously, life insurance will provide cash benefits to your family in the event of your death. Apart from that, it can also cover the hefty costs that an estate can generate, especially estate taxes. However, it won\u2019t have this benefit if you have the policy in your own name. If it is housed within an irrevocable trust, it will effectively cover the additional risks and costs that your estate may have to deal with after your death.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/probate-what-it-is-what-it-costs-how-to-reduce-fees\/\"><b>Probate \u2013 What it is, what it costs, how to reduce fees.<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probate is the legal process that begins after a person\u2019s death, as the will is reviewed to determine its validity and authenticity, and various steps are taken to administer the deceased estate. It can be a long, complicated process or a very quick and straightforward one, depending on the estate\u2019s size, the provisions of the will and whether or not there are any disputes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probate could also apply to an intestate estate, i.e. one with no will or where the will has been determined to be invalid. In Ontario, probate costs $5 for every $1,000 of assets up to $50,000, and $15 for every $1,000 of assets $50,000. There are ways to reduce your probate fees. These include giving some assets away as gifts during your life, designating beneficiaries on investments such as insurance policies, or joint ownership of properties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based in Oakville, ON, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npw.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NPW, Inc.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a team of experienced wealth management experts who help high-net-worth individuals grow and protect their wealth. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npw.ca\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to find out we can help you with your family wealth planning.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Family wealth planning involves significant time and effort, as individuals strive to earn and cultivate enduring wealth capable of benefiting future generations.
