"With retirement, it''s important to think about the big picture - everything from when you want to retire, to where you''d like to live, to what you plan to do with your time," said Myra Cridland, Head, BMO Private Banking. "Regardless of your income level, consider speaking with your family or people close to you, give serious thought to how you want your retirement to look, and then work with a financial professional to create a wealth plan that is tailored to your changing lifestyle as you head into this next phase of your life."
Investing Profile of High-Net-Worth Canadians
The study also revealed that the vast majority (96 per cent) of affluent Canadians have an investment portfolio or share one with their spouse/partner. The average amount of money in their portfolio is $2,127,411, and nearly one quarter (23 per cent) of wealthy Canadians have more than $2 million in their portfolio.
In terms of how they intend to use the money in their investment portfolios:
According to the study, almost two thirds (62 per cent) of wealthy Canadians with an investment portfolio consider themselves to be balanced investors, 24 per cent are conservative and 14 per cent are aggressive investors.
"Given that so many affluent Canadians plan to use their investments to fund their retirement or to take care of their family in the future, it''s crucial that their portfolios are properly structured in order to ensure that their wealth is insulated for the long term," said Richard Mason, President and CEO of BMO Private Investment Counsel Inc. "Having a properly diversified portfolio that takes into account your age, life stage, income requirements and risk tolerance, along with your short- and long-term goals, is key to successful investing."
