Canada Life Bonds
By partnering with Canada Life on the P1 Platform, you can access their highly acclaimed Premier Investment Bonds which boast a prestigious Defaqto Gold rating.
The Wealth Preservation Account offered by Canada Life is a novel solution when it comes to inheritance tax planning. This innovative product allows customers to potentially reduce their inheritance tax liability while retaining full access to trust assets through optional yearly payments. After seven years, the gifted assets are completely excluded from the estate, and any investment growth is shielded from inheritance tax from day one. Now, with the P1 Platform, advisers can seamlessly incorporate this powerful tool into their clients’ estate planning strategies, offering them peace of mind and the opportunity to preserve their wealth for future generations.
