(WEBINAR) 📄 Creating a one-page report SnapShot for a client case study (May 29, 2024)
In the webinar, we created several projections to demonstrate:
- Use of a corporation within a client's accumulation and decumulation strategy.
- How to illustrate and compare drawdown strategies to best achieve the client's goals.
- Modelling the impacts of potential changes to the capital gains inclusion rate.
- New client report customization capabilities to select and reorder pages.
- Creating a one-page report SnapShot to help with client understanding and action.
While this session demonstrated the use of a corporation, there is value for those who don't currently work with clients with corporations. We discussed personal input and optimization considerations and reviewed the report generation process in detail.
