Canadian entrepreneurs will be a leading source of job creation this year

E

ntrepreneurs are a leading source of job creation, with 50 per cent of Canadian entrepreneurs expecting to increase their global workforce this year. This is according to the EY global job creation and youth entrepreneurship survey 2015, a study that surveyed 2,345 entrepreneurs about their hiring plans and 2,807 young people about their entrepreneurial ambitions.

ENTREPRENEURS LEAD JOB CREATION While 50 per cent of entrepreneurs in Canada expect to increase their total workforce in the next 12 months, the number rises to 73 per cent among those that have competed in EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year Program. These figures contrast with the hiring plans of Canadian senior corporate executives. Only four per cent of them are expecting to create jobs in the next year, as reported in EY’s recently released Canadian Capital Confidence Barometer.

“Once again the numbers show the benefit of empowering, supporting and celebrating our entrepreneurs. They continue to rise above economic challenges and plan for creating jobs, not just in Canada, but globally as well,” says Colleen McMorrow, EY partner and national Entrepreneur Of The Year program director in Canada.

JOB GROWTH DRIVEN BY SOARING CONFIDENCE The survey shows Canadian entrepreneurs are enthusiastic about the economy, with 68 per cent reporting confidence in the economic direction of Canada and 55 per cent reporting confidence in the economic direction of the global economy.

These numbers are close to those of the U.S., where 70 per cent of entrepreneurs are confident about the domestic economy and 58 per cent are confident about the global economy.

› 50% of Canadian entrepreneurs expect to increase their global workforce this year › 68% of Canadian entrepreneurs feel confident about the Canadian economy › Strong entrepreneurial ambitions among young people 59% want to run their own business “at some point”

There is, however, clear geographical deviation, with China (95 per cent), India (90 per cent) and Middle East/North Africa (MENA) (90 per cent), showing the highest confidence in the global economy, and France (52 per cent), Australia (51 per cent) and Japan (49 per cent) showing the lowest, which is a reflection of overall economic conditions in those geographies.

YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE ENTREPRENEURIAL AMBITIONS, BUT NEED SUPPORT For the first time this year, EY talked to 2,807 young people aged 18 to 25, to get an idea of their career aspirations and find out how entrepreneurship fits into their plans. Many have entrepreneurial ambitions, with 59 per cent of Canadian youth planning to run their own business at some point in their careers.

What Canadian youth with entrepreneurial ambitions most value is guidance and support from today’s entrepreneurs. A “hands-on” internship and mentoring from a leading entrepreneur are seen as the most likely to help them fulfill their goals (33 per cent and 32 per cent, respectively). But only 27 per cent of Canadian youth say they get enough support from local entrepreneurs, compared to 36 per cent globally.

The EY global job creation and youth entrepreneurship survey 2015 was released as part of the World Entrepreneur Of The Year 2015 celebrations in Monaco in June – the world’s most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs.

CFIB supports Private Member’s Bill to ease business succession planning Proposed bill offers major tax savings when transferring business to a family member

A

new private member’s bill promises to address a significant flaw in Canada’s succession planning rules and would save Canadian small business owners hundreds of thousands of dollars when transferring their business to a family member.

Liberal MP Emmanuel Dubourg’s Bill C-691 proposes changes to the Income Tax Act that will ease the tax burden on business owners seeking to pass their business on to their children or

grandchildren. Under the current system, it is more expensive for a business owner to sell to their own family members than to a third party.

“Many small business owners tell us that tax rules discourage them from passing on their firm to their children and encourage selling to a stranger,” said Dan Kelly, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

“Mr. Dubourg’s bill corrects this unfairness and will help small business owners ensure their firm remains locally owned, creating and protecting local jobs.

CFIB commends Mr. Dubourg and the Liberal Party for their leadership on this important small business policy.”

Only half of small business owners have a planned succession, and of those, 76 percent plan to exit their businesses in the next 10 years. Mr. Dubourg’s bill is a positive step forward for Canada’s small businesses.

CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

investoradvice

Keep your EYES ON THE PRIZE

S

o, you’ve decided to buy an investment condo in 2014. Congratulations!

As a first-time investor, there are five questions you need to ask yourself before buying a new condo:

1 | WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS? Before you buy any investment condo, you should figure out what your goals are. Are you looking to make a short- or long-term investment? What kind of return are you looking to achieve? Are you more interested in income or capital gain – or both?

Deciding what your goals are up front will better help you achieve them in the long run.

2 | WHAT CAN YOU AFFORD? Talk to your mortgage broker or lender and get a mortgage pre-approval before you start your search. This will help you figure out what you can afford, and will help you start to narrow your search.

Also, make sure you are prepared for the developer’s requirements with respect to financing. Most new condos will require a 15 to 20 per cent deposit up front, as well as a mortgage approval letter showing you can afford the unit you are purchasing.

3 | WHAT IS YOUR EXIT STRATEGY? This is a very important question many first time investors fail to answer before buying a new condo. Will you buy, hold and rent for the long term before selling?

Will you buy pre-construction and then flip (assign) your unit prior to the final closing? Will you buy pre-construction, close on the unit, rent it out for one or two years, and then sell it? Will you buy, wait for completion, and then refinance and re-invest the proceeds?

Take time to assess the risks and rewards associated with the different exit strategies and start with the end in mind.

4 | WHAT SHOULD YOU BUY? Buying a new condo for investment purposes is different than buying for yourself.

Some units make better investments than others.

Questions to consider include: Which locations are likely to experience the most growth in the next few years? What type of unit is the most attractive to renters?

Which type of unit tends to appreciate faster than others?

5 | WHEN SHOULD YOU BUY? Understanding the typical marketing cycle that a new condo goes through from preconstruction to completion will help you identify the right time to buy.

When buying for investment, it is generally best to buy at the earliest possible stage when a new building launches. This is when prices are the lowest, and availability of investor-grade suites is highest. But there are other great opportunities to buy, including right before the developer meets the sales target to secure construction financing, or during the occupancy stage. In both of these instances developers tend to be highly motivated to sell and this is when they often introduce great buyerincentives or cash discounts.

Are too many small business owners being unnecessarily distracted by legal disputes with their customers?

I

n Canada, three out of 10 small business owners dealt with the stress and disruption of handling a legal dispute during the past three years. In an attempt to resolve these disputes, both parties were required to hire lawyers, having to pay up to $400 an hour. The top three sources of legal conflict are:

› Collecting money owed by customers › Contract disputes with customers › Contract disputes with suppliers Considering there are millions of selfemployed and small-medium business owners, that’s a lot of unnecessary distraction and time away from running their business. Especially when a solution is available to both empower and protect them in case of unforeseen legal disputes.

In order to better understand small business owners’ experiences and attitudes towards legal disputes, DAS Canada engaged Ipsos to conduct an online panel survey of over 1,000 business owners from across Canada.

Here are some of the key findings: › 73 per cent believe a legal dispute would have a tangible financial impact on their business, but only 27 per cent have set aside budget to protect their business from the potential costs involved with legal disputes › Only 12 per cent of business owners feel they have sufficient insurance coverage to cover any type of unforeseen legal expenses › 1 out of 10 small business owners know another owner who lost their business due to a legal dispute “Our research findings suggest that while business owners appreciate the significant impact a legal dispute could have on them, many unfortunately are either not being proactive or feel fully protected,” says Barbara Haynes, CEO of DAS Canada.“That’s where legal expense insurance can help. It fills the gap in their insurance portfolio and gives business owners peace of mind, so they can focus on what matters most – growing their business.”

CANADIAN 2015 ECONOMIC GROWTH TO TOP OUT AT 1.4 PER CENT: CIBC U.S. growth to outpace with rate hike in September, Bank of Canada to hold steady

C

IBC World Markets has cut its 2015 Canadian growth forecast to a paltry 1.4 per cent as weak commodity prices and slowing emerging market economies have not provided the expected lift to a sluggish domestic economy.

“We’re slashing our 2015 growth forecast for Canada by more than a quarter point to only 1.4 per cent, stung by a downside miss in Q1, and an end-of-quarter picture that depressed the Q2 outlook,” says Avery Shenfeld, Chief Economist with CIBC. Mr. Shenfeld notes that while he expects commodity prices to rebound somewhat this year, slowing global growth will keep them well below previous peaks. The new CIBC forecast has dropped global growth by nearly a half point to 2.9 per cent, the softest since the recession.“That owes to a divergence between an improving developed world and a deterioration in emerging markets.

“U.S. fundamentals still look healthy despite the poor Q1 outturn. Unless America’s business leaders are totally out of touch, their brisk hiring points to solid demand growth ahead.

Political risks in Greece - and Spain later this year - won’t be enough to take the Eurozone off a clear recovery path, with lots of headroom for non-inflationary growth. But a downshifting in China and recessions in Russia and Brazil are contributing to a much less impressive overall pace.”

While he expects current stimulus efforts to boost growth in emerging market economies next year, secular forces, including slower trend growth in an aging west, will limit the bounce to 3.6 per cent in 2016, well below the nearly five per cent global growth pace seen in the five years leading up to the last recession.

With a less-globally-exposed economy, he forecasts that the U.S. economy, with much more pent-up demand in its lessindebted household sector, will grow faster than Canada this year.“Since Canada outpaced the U.S. during the recession and early recovery, divergence in growth has already generated a convergence in economic slack, necessitating a parallel convergence in short term rates. The Fed will carry through on Yellen’s clear intention to hike rates this year. But a soft Q1, and tame core personal consumption expenditures, will see the Fed wait until September to pull the trigger, needing more assurance that growth has rebounded.

“Slower trend growth and reduced incentives for capital spending at any given interest rate will see central banks and bond markets

settle at what, by historical standards, will still be unusually low yields. That’s just the next chapter in a story dating back to the 1980s, in which successive cycles have required lower average real interest rates to reach and stay at full employment.”

Mr. Shenfeld does not see much movement for the Canadian dollar, calling for it to drop a few cents after the first Fed hike, then recovering modestly. He also expects the Bank of Canada to stand firm on interest rates.“Governor Poloz’s optimistic forecast for the next six quarters repeatedly cites the underpinning of a softer exchange rate. While another ease is very much on the table, if the Fed actually hikes by September, the Bank of Canada will be relieved of the burden to cut again as the loonie weakens. Keeping the Canadian dollar range bound as oil recovers will see the Bank of Canada stay on hold right through the first half of 2016.”

The report calls for equities to outperform bonds next year, but be somewhat volatile in the next couple of quarters.“Our top-down leading indicator model, which translates trends in Canadian and U.S. GDP growth, oil prices and other key variables into forward earnings, projects a modest six per cent growth rate for year-onyear earnings in the coming four quarters, well below the doubledigit consensus,”says Mr. Shenfeld.

“That would put the Composite index at a lofty 20 times forward multiple, if you substitute our model’s earnings projection for the bottom up consensus. While that’s heavily tilted towards huge multiples on energy stocks, the market’s path could still see-saw as earnings downgrades for 2015 trade off against economic hopes for the following year.

“Our macro model looks for a heady 18 per cent bounce in calendar 2016 earnings, lifted by improved global growth, firmer prices for oil and lumber, and improved Canadian economic performance. The denominator for discounting future earnings and dividends will be a bit higher, which will eat into the multiple. But as we’ve seen in the past, that can be more than offset by a bright picture for earnings and dividends growth during a gentle and early stage of a tightening cycle.”

CIBC’s wholesale banking business provides a range of integrated credit and capital markets products, investment banking, and merchant banking to clients in key financial markets in North America and around the world. They provide innovative capital solutions and advisory expertise across a wide range of industries as well as top-ranked research for our corporate, government and institutional clients.

UNDERSTANDING REAL ESTATE TERMS AND FORMULAS

8171452_2515

Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record - Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd., Brokerage

I

n this exciting world of Real Estate Investments there are many terms and formulas often used by investors and lenders. As a wise investor you should be familiar with the Real Estate lingo.

Hamilton

The following are some of the most common terms and formulas; Capitalization Rate: This is the most important term in the industry and investors should be prepared to use it to determine value. Sometimes known as the “Cap Rate”, this term represents the percentage return on investment in an “all cash purchase”. This is accomplished by taking the Net Operating Income and dividing it by the current market Cap Rate.

For example, suppose you are considering to purchase an apartment building which generates a NOI (net operating income) of $60,000; and assuming the asking price of this property is $900,000. On this scenario the Cap Rate would be 6.6%. In other words at the asking price, you will earn a 6.6% return on the $900,000 investment.

Divide the Net Income by the Selling Price. $60,000.00 divided by $900,000.00 equals 6.60% Cap Rate The market Cap Rate should be the key indicator to determine the value of investment properties. The Cap Rate will fluctuate with the market forces of supply, demand, interest rates and political climate.

Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM) When we purchase a Real Estate investment, we are really buying the potential rental income, and not just the bricks and mortar. Therefore the Gross rents are sometimes used to determine value.

The GRM is what you get by dividing the gross rent into the sale price of a building. For example, if an investment property sells for $1,000,000.00 with gross rents of $250,000.00, the “Multiplier” is 4 time the gross income. Therefore the GRM in this scenario is 4. This number can be a good thumbnail approach to valuing other buildings when you know their gross income.

The problem with this method of valuing buildings is that the gross income does not allow for fluctuations in expenses. The best example would be in comparing two identical buildings, where; • On the first building, the tenants pay for own hydro • On the second building, the owner pays hydro and for cable etc.

The impact on the value where the owner pays extra expenses will be significantly lower, unless the rents are adjusted higher to compensate for the inclusions. The GRM (Gross Income Multiplier) may be used as a benchmark, however amongst experienced investors the best approach to valuing buildings is by using the capitalization of the net operating income.

Effective Gross Income This refers to the actual gross rents and deducting allowance for vacancy and bad debt.

Every rental property experiences tenant turnover. The frequency in which it occurs will depend on many factors such as; location, condition, rental charge, economic forces, tenant profile (age, etc.), and property management experience, etc. It is very important that you become familiar with the vacancy rate of the area of the subject property and also the track record of the property turnover rate

Net Operating Income (N.O.I) The Net Operating Income is the amount of cash available after deducting the operating expenses from the Effective Gross Income. Be sure that the N.O.I. is accurate so that a realistic property value can be assessed. To obtain a true N.O.I, you must also include management fees, superintendent wages to the expenses. Do not be fooled by a lean expense ratio, to artificially show a higher net income. Always remember that it is the N.O.I. that sets the probable value of the building.

or costly promotions. However, we now have the option to use free internet advertising, which are becoming more and more cost effective for the landlord.

Operating Expenses As an apartment building specialist, I come across many financial reports and proformas, and it never ceases to amaze me how many operating expenses are “streamlined” to expand the “N.O.I.”, thus artificially increasing the market value of the property. In addition to expenses for heat, hydro, water, realty taxes, the next time you review an income statement, also look for the following expenses:

Leverage The huge advantage of using leverage in a real estate investment is that for a small amount of cash you can purchase a large property. For example, a $100,000.00 down payment can purchase a building worth as much as $1,000,000.00, (10% down payment). On a long term hold, you will benefit from both mortgage reduction and increase in value.

1. Management Fees Whether you intend to manage yourself or hire a property manager, this item should always be expensed at 3% to 5% of the gross income 2. Superintendent/Janitor Wages Again, whether or not you intend to do the work yourself, always expense this wage to determine the true operating expenses. Use approximately $20.00 to $30.00 per unit per month as a guideline.

3. Maintenance/Repairs This cost will vary depending on the type, age and condition of the property, as well as quality of tenants and the past maintenance level of the building. A good guideline is approximately $500.00 to $800.00 per unit per year.

4. Elevator Often the cost of the elevator maintenance are not included in statements.

5. Waste Disposal Garbage disposal charges are often missed on a financial statement.

6. Snow Removal Often the cost of snow clearing are not included in statements 7. Insurance Coverage The property must be insured for fire and other hazards (tenants should cover their own contents). Premiums will vary depending on age and size of the building and be aware that premiums are on the rise.

8. Laundry Expenses On many occasions, you will find the laundry income included in the gross revenues. However, the laundry rentals are often forgotten in the expense column and unless the laundry equipment is owned, look for rental charges of approximately $60.00 a pair per month.

9. Advertising/Promotions, etc. In a tough rental market, you must allocate a reasonable monthly charge for advertising

29

A good “rule of thumb” for operating expenses is 55% to 60% of the “Effective Gross Income”. There are always minor exceptions where income is higher (and expenses lower) because tenants pay for their own hydro.

With leverage you may run the risk of unexpected negative cash flow that could risk the investment. Assure the income generated from the property is able to support the expenses and carrying costs. Also be aware of unforeseen capital expenditures which may tremendously impact the cash flow.

Remember that “cash flow is king”, and unless you have deep pockets, always leave a good cash reserve available when required.

Debt Service Ratio Used by lenders to establish the maximum loan amount. As an example, let us suppose the Net Operating Income (NOI) is $100,000.00 and assuming the “Debt Service Ratio” used by the Lender is 1.2 then the following steps will determine the maximum loan amount.

1. - Divide the NOI by the “Debt Service Ratio” ($100,000.00 / 1.2 = $83,333) 2. - Divide by 12 months ($83,333/ 12 = $6,944) 3. – Assuming the monthly interest rate factor @ 6% is 0.00644 4. - Divide interest rate factor into monthly payment of $6,944.00 ($6,944 /.00644 = $1,078,260 Therefore the maximum loan amount will be rounded to approximately $1,080,000.00. This will provide a good guideline as you shop for a mortgage.

As a wise investor, you must learn the real estate language and know all the important formulas in order to be successful and reduce risk.

Tapping Into Tenant’s Water Use

by David Gargaro and Jordan Edl, Water Matrix

Greater Toronto Area

Once upon a time, water was an afterthought, and not much consideration was given to how much water tenants used over the course of the year. Those fairy tale days are long gone, and water costs are continuing to rise. With municipal water rates increasing by as much as 10 per cent year over year in some regions, these hard costs have become a significant concern for owners of multi-unit rental properties. The most staggering statistic is that domestic (in-suite) consumption accounts for 80 to 90 percent of a building’s water usage.

compare our findings to the average water consumption figures for similar buildings. We’ll also talk to site staff, as they will know about leaks, how often the pool is emptied or topped up, and other water-related issues.”

Make it a habit to regularly monitor and analyze your utility bills, and compare these results over the past two to three years.

This will enable you to identify gradual increases or unusual spikes in water usage. New technology can provide real -time monitoring of water usage, but most municipal water meters provide enough data to identify consumption spikes (although not in real time). You should also ensure that staff engage in regularly scheduled maintenance of all water-using equipment, much like they conduct annual inspections of lighting, safety, fire and other systems.

natural gas customers can also get a $6 rebate on showerhead aerators.

Once a water audit has been completed, the auditor can provide recommendations on how to achieve the greatest water savings. This will often include installing lower flow water fixtures, which will reduce overall in-suite water consumption and associated costs. Water-efficient toilets (3 litres is the new standard), In most cases, tenants do not pay for their individual water us- low-flow showerheads and sink aerators collectively offer signifage, and landlords must pick up the tab for the entire building’s icant opportunities to reduce in-suite water consumption, which water consumption.

Therefore, landlords must find other ways to reduce Advances in water usage technology have greatly increased the their buildings’ water usage, such as monitoring performance, efficiency of toilets and sink and showerhead aerators.

Enbridge

“Although many direct incentive programs have been phased out, some still remain, and some incentives exist as part of other more comprehensive energy savings programs,” said Edl. “Many local associations, suppliers and government offices can provide information on available programs and incentives.”

Conclusion

Water audits offer significant opportunities to identify and reduce the water consumption component of a building’s operating expenditures. That’s why it is important to work with an auditor that understands your specific needs. Multi-unit rental properties have different water usage requirements than longterm care facilities, student housing properties or hospitals.

oronto Real Estate Board President Paul Etherington announced that TREB Commercial Network Members reported 377,052 square feet of space leased on a per square foot net basis with pricing disclosed in May 2015. This result was down from 629,864 total square feet leased in May 2014. The industrial market segment accounted for 80 per cent of total square footage leased.

the broader Canadian economic picture will likely feed through into some periodic volatility in results,”continued Mr. Etherington.

While the amount of space leased was down on a year-overyear basis in May, average per square foot net lease rates were up for the industrial and commercial/retail segments.

The average office lease rate was down compared to 2014.

“Commercial leasing activity is often volatile on a monthto-month basis, with one large deal, or the absence thereof, making all the difference to the aggregate results. However, the fact that the average industrial lease rate was up in May compared to last year suggests that the demand for space in this important market segment remains strong,” said Mr. Etherington.

The total number of combined industrial, commercial/retail and office properties sold in May 2015 amounted to 52 – down from 61 transactions reported during the same month in 2014. The average industrial sale price on a per square foot basis was down slightly year-over-year. The average selling prices for commercial/retail and office properties were down by a greater amount, but this was largely due to a change in the mix of properties sold this year compared to last.

“Both the sale and leasing markets for commercial properties are dependent on firms’ outlook for the economy. While the positive impact of the lower Canadian dollar is promising for businesses in the Greater Toronto Area, uncertainty in

BMO Wealth Management: CANADA’S FIRST NATIONAL WEALTH INDEX

B

MO Wealth Management launched a national Wealth Index, providing a snapshot of Canadians’ financial situations and measures their ability to manage their wealth.

The inaugural BMO Wealth Management Index ranks residents of each province out of a score of 100 on who is most successful in managing their wealth. This is determined by looking at a variety of criteria, including: having, reviewing and maintaining a financial plan; household debts and assets; retirement savings; having insurance in place; estate planning components; rainy day savings; and the sustainability of their current financial situation.

The Index is unique among financial measures because it considers more than just“balance sheets” (i.e. how much money Canadians have).

With a score of 72.9, residents of Saskatchewan had the highest score among the provinces.

They were followed by those in: › Quebec (second place with a score of 71.1) › Alberta (third with a score of 70.6) › Newfoundland & Labrador (fourth with a score of 70.4) THE NATIONAL AVERAGE SCORE WAS 69.3.

CANADIANS GENERALLY SCORED HIGHEST IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: › Having a financial strategy (81 per cent do) › Having a life insurance plan in place (66 per cent do) THE CATEGORIES IN WHICH THEY HAD THE LOWEST SCORES INCLUDED: › Ensuring the efficacy of their financial plan (67 per cent have not used a professional to draft their plan) › Prioritizing their retirement savings (65 per cent do not consider this a top priority) › Having critical illness or disability insurance (only 35 per cent and 39 per cent respectively have such insurance)

› Index ranks residents of each province on who is most successful at managing their wealth › Saskatchewan places 1st among provinces in inaugural study › Canadians score highest in having a financial strategy and having a life insurance plan in place; opportunities exist for them to improve by working with a professional to ensure efficacy of their financial plan and prioritizing saving for retirement › Two thirds of Canadians feel they are financially prepared for a major life change

“BMO Wealth Management launched this Index to gauge Canadians’ financial situations and identify where there is room for improvement,” said Betsey Chung, chief marketing officer, Canadian Banking & Wealth Management, BMO Financial Group.“We believe that the concept of wealth is multidimensional. Effectively managing wealth is about more than just the state of your balance sheet, it’s also how you adjust to changes in your life and in the world around you - capitalizing on opportunities as they arise while securing your financial future.”

CANADIANS CONFIDENT ABOUT FINANCIAL PREPAREDNESS In addition to questions to determine the Index rankings, Canadians were asked about how prepared they are to deal with significant life changes, such as getting married, the birth of a child, job loss, etc.: › Sixty-two per cent are confident that they would be prepared financially › Twenty-one per cent are not very confident that they would be prepared financially › Ten per cent are not at all confident that they would be prepared financially “It’s encouraging that almost two thirds of Canadians believe they can take on a major change successfully,” said Ms. Chung.“Life events and market changes are often catalysts for people to reconsider their approach to wealth management. We’re here to help clients turn these changes into opportunities - whether it’s a fresh start, a new endeavour or a chance to give back.”

BMO Wealth Management recently launched a multi-faceted ad campaign that is appearing across all customer experience platforms and webpages.

The campaign tells the stories of clients going through significant life changes - newly single, aging parents, kids returning after university and changing market conditions to name a few - and showcases how BMO Wealth Management can help clients turn those changes into opportunities for greater financial success and peace of mind.

Global population of high net worth individuals

(

and their wealth HIT NEW HIGHS

(

S

trong economic and equity market performance helped create nearly a million (920,000) new millionaires globally in 2014, as High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs1) grew in both number and wealth to 14.6 million and US$56.4 trillion, respectively. This reflects an increase of about seven per cent, roughly half the growth rate of the previous year, according to the World Wealth Report 2015 (WWR) released recently by Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management. The report found that while the vast majority of the HNWI population and wealth is relatively evenly distributed between North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, the Asia-Pacific region grew at the fastest rate and is now home to more HNWIs than any other region.

While North America continues to rank first overall for HNWI wealth at US$16.2 trillion vs. Asia-Pacific’s US$15.8 trillion and Europe’s US$13.0 trillion, Asia-Pacific’s wealth growth (11 per cent vs. North America’s nine per cent and Europe’s 4.6 per cent) is expected to continue. In fact, AsiaPacific is expected to take top spot for HNWI wealth before the end of 2015.

Asia-Pacific also expanded its HNWI population at the fastest rate globally (nine per cent), pushing it past North America as the region with the most HNWIs at 4.69 million.

North America’s HNWIs grew to 4.68 million (eight per cent growth) and Europe’s grew to 4.0 million (up four per cent).

“2014 was the sixth consecutive year of growth for the High Net Worth market, with robust equity returns and economic performance enabling wealth to grow by about seven per

cent, following double digit growth the year prior,”said George Lewis, Group Head, RBC Wealth Management & RBC Insurance.“Asia-Pacific led the growth in wealth this year and just edged out North America as the new leader in High Net Worth population. Looking ahead to the next few years, we expect Europe to be a large driver of HNWI wealth as the region recovers economically.”

From a country-level perspective, China and the U.S. drove more than half (52 per cent) of global HNWI population growth. India led the world in growth for both HNWI population (26 per cent) and wealth (28 per cent) due to strong equity market performance and the reduced cost of its substantial oil imports. China followed, with population and wealth growth rates of 17 per cent and 19 per cent, respectively, driven by GDP growth, increased exports and moderate equity market performance.

Strong growth in Asia-Pacific and North America contrasted with negative growth in Latin America – the only region with a decline in HNWI population (-2 per cent) and wealth (-0.5 per cent) in 2014, largely due to falling commodity prices and a resulting decline in equity markets. In Europe HNWI population and wealth grew by roughly four per cent due to weak economic performance and falling equity markets in most countries.

EQUITIES AND CASH DOMINATE HNWI PORTFOLIOS; USE OF CREDIT ALSO HIGH Equities overtook cash as the preferred asset class of HNWIs in 2014, representing 27 per cent of portfolios, according to the Global High Net Worth Insights Survey in the WWR. “Approximately five years into a steady rise in global stock markets, equities have overtaken cash as the dominant asset class in HNWI portfolios,”said Andrew Lees, Global Sales Officer, Capgemini Global Financial Services.“Increased exposure to equities indicates a slowly expanding appetite for risk as High Net Worth Individuals show comfort in equities taking up a larger portion of portfolios, as asset values rise.”

r

HNWIs continue to hold more than one-quarter (26 per cent) of their wealth in cash, doing so primarily to maintain their lifestyle (36 per cent) or for security in case of market volatility (31 per cent). The balance of portfolios was allocated to real estate (20 per cent), fixed income (16 per cent) and alternative investments (10 per cent).

The WWR also found that the use of credit in HNWI portfolios is widespread, with 18 per cent of assets being financed through borrowed money, with higher levels evident amongst women (19 per cent), those in higher wealth bands (US$20 million+: 22 per cent), and those under 40 (27 per cent). Credit is used largely as leverage for investments (40 per cent), followed by real estate (22 per cent).

edition includes findings from the most in-depth primary research works available on global HNWI perspectives and behavior. Based on responses from over 5,100 High Net Worth Individuals across 23 countries, the Global HNW Insights Survey explores HNWI confidence levels, asset allocation decisions, perspectives on driving social impact, as well as their wealth management advice and service preferences. The inaugural 2015 Capgemini Wealth Manager Survey also queried more than 800 wealth managers across 15 major wealth markets to assess the evolving role of wealth managers.

For more information, explore the interactive report website at www.worldwealthreport.com.

HNWIs are defined as those having investable assets of US$1 million or more, excluding primary residence, collectibles, consumables, and consumer durables.

1

HNWIS SEEK TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON SOCIETY As shown in the World Wealth Report 2014, HNWIs continue to have an interest in investing their wealth, expertise and/or time to drive a positive social impact, with 92 per cent viewing it as important to do so. This year’s report notes that HNWIs turn primarily to wealth managers (30 per cent), family (27 per cent) and friends (22 per cent) for advice on social impact opportunities and approaches. It also shows that of those HNWIs currently receiving social impact support from their wealth managers and firms, more than half (54 per cent) want even more help in setting clear social impact goals, determining which investments will effect the most change, structuring their investments, and measuring the impact of their social efforts.

GLOBAL HNWI WEALTH FORECAST TO TOP $70 TRILLION BY 2017 Looking ahead, global HNWI wealth is projected to grow by almost eight per cent annually from the end of 2014 through to 2017, to reach US $70.5 trillion, led by Asia-Pacific at an anticipated growth rate of 10.3 per cent. In a shift from recent years, Europe is expected to act as a more prominent engine of HNWI wealth expansion at 8.4 per cent annually, as a result of improved optimism for a more substantial recovery throughout the region, while the wealth of HNWIs in North America is anticipated to grow by a more modest seven per cent.

The Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management Global HNW Insights Survey 2015 is the largest and most in-depth survey of high net worth individuals ever conducted, surveying more than 5,000 HNWIs across 23 major wealth markets in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa and was conducted in January and February 2015.

9 OUT OF 10 SMALL BUSINESSES WANT PREMIERS TO MAKE FREE TRADE WITHIN CANADA A PRIORITY Provincial and federal ministers urged to seal internal trade deal

C

FIB is urging federal and provincial trade ministers to push hard for a new internal trade deal that removes trade barriers within Canada.

As trade ministers begin meetings in Toronto to update Canada’s primary national agreement on the movement of goods, services and labour across the country (the Agreement on Internal Trade, or AIT), small businesses are seeking a new deal that makes internal free trade a priority: according to a new CFIB report released during the meetings, 87 per cent of small business owners said premiers need to reduce trade barriers between provinces.

With provincial leaders having previously committed to establish a new internal trade deal that removes barriers by spring 2016, there has never been a better time to create a national, comprehensive trade agreement. Canada is set to open its arms to new international trade, yet its provinces and territories still maintain artificial barriers that prevent the free movement of goods, services and labour within the country.

“With Canada and the European Union about to ratify a new comprehensive free trade agreement, it’s more important than ever for the provinces to move quickly to remove internal barriers within Canada through the creation of a new trade deal,” said Laura Jones, executive vice-president at CFIB. “As things stand, there may be instances where European companies have better access to Canadian opportunities than a business in a neighbouring province.”

Only nine per cent of small business owners think the existing AIT helps them trade between provinces, and almost one-third (28 per cent) were not aware the AIT existed.

Thirty-one per cent of small business owners moving goods or workers in or out of their own province reported frustration with the often conflicting provincial rules and regulations they face. For example, a vehicle registration permit in Ontario is not acceptable in Manitoba, while a “wide load” sign posted on a truck travelling on an Alberta highway must be switched at the Saskatchewan border.

“Despite efforts over the years by governments to overcome Canada’s internal trade barriers, there are still too many restrictions from province to province,” said Corinne Pohlmann, senior vice-president of National Affairs at CFIB.“It’s time for provincial trade ministers to take the existing momentum on trading issues to seal a national deal that reflects the 21st century trading needs of Canadian small businesses.”

CFIB’s report recommends a new approach to internal free trade that features vital guiding principles: •

Mutual recognition: where a product or service complies with rules in one province, it will be acceptable to all provinces.

•

Negative listing: an assumption that cross-border trade is permitted unless stated otherwise.

•

Dispute resolution: a faster and more direct approach to solving disputes.

CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

Surviving closing

By Jayson Schwarz

I

t is rare that a commercial property transaction ever closes without some – or many – issues arising to stand in the way of business. Even the most seasoned veterans tell tales of surprises, problems and frustration. Here are some tips and tricks to help you anticipate and avoid some of those problems, save you time, money and frustration.

The deposit Many problems occur around control of the deposit moneys. In most cases a Realtor will maintain the deposit funds in his or her trust account, with clear conditions in the Contract of Purchase and Sale outlining when and how such moneys may be retained by the seller or refunded to the buyer.

The lawyer’s insight: The Realtor will almost never release the funds without the consent of both parties, no matter what the contract says, and no matter how obvious it is as to who is right or wrong. The Realtor will be afraid of making a mistake and getting sued and so takes the position of an innocent holder.

In order to get the funds released, you will need to have your lawyer sue the other party, and the Realtor and the Realtor will then pay the money into court and be out of the lawsuit.

The lawyer’s insight: A survey is valuable for both the buyer and the seller, because it can help avoid future lawsuits where encroachments, illegal structures are on the property, boundaries come into question, easements appear or other problems are discovered. The buyer wants to make sure that he gets what he’s paying for, while the seller wants to make sure that once the property is sold, the buyer will have no remedy or complaints after the sale. If the parties cannot agree on who should pay for the survey, it is recommended that you just split the cost rather than avoiding it altogether. The cost of litigation to resolve such disputes will likely eclipse the cost of the survey, so think of it as a proactive measure. Lawyers know how to look at surveys and we can determine whether problems are there and how to correct them in the fastest and most inexpensive way.

The agreement Many commercial real estate agents rely on standard form agreements that have been produced by their local or provincial boards. This often leads to difficulties as it fails to address the particularities of a given situation.

The lawyer’s insight: Have a lawyer draft your agreement in a commercial situation.

As an example we would generally add pages to the agreement used by the agents to buy a business. A commercial land purchase agreement could be 20 pages long.

Avoid the issues by doing it properly at the beginning.

The above presents but a few examples highlighting the importance of having a solicitor involved in your transaction from the beginning. The costs involved in having a lawyer represent you are well worth it and will save you time and expense in the long run.

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please send letters to the magazine or to us. Use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 1-888-6098888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

What am I really buying?

Sometimes an up-to-date survey is not available for the land, and so the parties must either pay to have one created, accept Title Insurance or have a war over what the purchaser thought he was selling and buyer thinks she is buying.

Problems arise where the parties decide to use an old survey that does not show all current boundaries and structures or do without a survey.
