What is estate planning?

Did you know that over half of Canadians don’t have a will? And that number jumps to 70% for younger Canadians (aged 18-34) and 66% for those aged 35-54. This is even more surprising given that almost 60% of Canadians think they have a good level of estate planning in place.

This year, IG Wealth Management celebrates 100 years of helping Canadians invest through everything markets can deliver. Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist at IG Wealth Management, takes us through a century of market history; from the 1929 crash to the dot-com boom, the 2008 crisis and pandemic shock. He reveals a surprising pattern: while the triggers change, the rhythm stays remarkably consistent. Excess leads to stress, followed by policy response and recovery. Philip explains why the core building blocks of investing haven't fundamentally changed and shares the real lesson from a century of markets: success isn't about predicting the future perfectly, it's about preparing for it consistently.

A business grows in stages.

Wealth is built with intention.

From your first dollar of revenue to the moment you begin planning your exit…

every stage of your business demands a different strategy: financially, legally, and personally.

And here’s something I see often:

Many prospects ask me, “Should I use a trust? Should I set up a holding company?”

Yet most don’t realize that the right structure depends entirely on which stage of the business life cycle they’re actually in.

Not every stage needs the same planning — and using the wrong tool at the wrong time can become costly.

Because as your business evolves, so do your risks, your opportunities, and your goals.

Start‑Up → Growth → Maturity → Transition

Each phase comes with its own risks, tax opportunities, and wealth‑building tools.

The business owners who thrive long‑term are the ones who structure their:

✔ protection

✔ cash flow

✔ corporate investments

✔ agreements

✔ exit strategy

with foresight, not hindsight.

Your business is not static.

Your plan shouldn’t be either.

If you’re ready for advice designed for your stage — and the one ahead — let's talk.

Buying a pre-construction condominium has long been an appealing path to home ownership or investment in Canada. It offers the promise of getting in early, locking in a price before the unit is built and potentially enjoying appreciation in value by the time the keys are handed over. Yet, as recent market conditions have shown, this path is not without risk. Increasingly, purchasers are finding that when their pre-build unit is finally appraised, the value does not always match — or even come close to — the price they agreed to pay years earlier.
