Transparency is an important element in our client-advisor relationships. With current media focus being placed upon the way financial advisors are paid, we thought we should address this issue. We provide financial services to clients who ask us to manage their investment, insurance and mortgage needs. Depending on the specific situation, we will be paid an up-front commission when we first take over an account, or we can receive an on-going fee which is paid to us annually and based on our client’s asset values. Any investor who chooses to use mutual or segregated funds as part of their portfolio(s) (whether with Potvin Financial, a local bank, or other financial institutions) is paying an ongoing annual fee for the management and servicing of these accounts. This is a fee that the investment company charges all investors and a small portion of this fee is paid to the advisors. We have had open discussions about fees with many clients, but perhaps we haven't addressed this issue with you. We want to make sure you understand how much you are paying and why you are being charged. Please ask your financial advisor about how they are paid and they will be more than happy to have a conversation with you to answer all your questions. Visit www.potvinfinancial.com and look in our ‘Tools Section’ for more information on how Financial Advisors are paid. These are options for investors to consider including within their COMING diversified portfolios. THIS FALL!! They are low cost options and are gaining Watch for our much popularity in Canada.

Barry J., Ottawa - 2 - Should you contribute to your RRSP or pay down your debt? This is a question that we are often asked by our clients. There are many variables to consider, but here are 5 points to consider when making your decision. 1. Type of debt you are carrying: If you are paying high interest credit card debt, you should pay it down as quickly as possible. But, not all debts are bad. For instance, making mortgage payments (usually at a low interest rate). 2. How much debt do you have? It’s emotionally draining to carry a large amount of debt. If you’re struggling every month to make basic payments, then you might want to eliminate your high interest debt first. 3. How old are you? If you are close to retirement, you should plan on going into your retirement mortgage– and debt-free. You don’t want to have higher interest rates affecting your retirement income and lifestyle. 4. What is your income? If you are in a high-income tax bracket, it may be more beneficial for you to reduce the amount of tax you pay with an RRSP. If you are in a lower tax bracket and have a lot of debt, consider paying if off first. 5. What type of RRSP? You don’t want to lose money by not taking advantage of the tax implications of your RRSP. For example, if you have a group RRSP and you get matching contributions from your employer, or can increase your Spousal RRSP to benefit from the income-splitting option. The bottom line really, is how much you are paying in debt and what is the possible amount you could be earning in your RRSP. To help you with this decision, or to look at debt management, call one of our advisors for an appointment.

What does estate “planning” mean? Estate planning is the process of anticipating and arranging for the disbursement of your estate in the event of your death. It can be used to eliminate uncertainties over the administration of probate and to maximize the value of your estate by reducing taxes and other expenses. The ultimate goal of estate planning can be determined by your specific goals, and may be as simple or complex as your needs dictate. Guardians can be designated for minor children and incapacitated beneficiaries. What is an estate “plan”? Depending on the complexity of your situation in life, it may involve one or several of the following items: - Will -Trusts - Life Insurance - Power of Attorney for property (POA) - Power of Attorney for personal care (POA) - Living will - Registered Organ donor - Funeral arrangements - Business succession plan -Tax planning Individually, each of these topics is complex and you should work with your advisor and legal representative to make sure you are planning correctly for this later-stage in life. One of the most discussed items listed, is your will. Three most often quoted ‘estate planning mistakes’ include: 1) not having a will, 2) not keeping your will current, and 3) using a DIY (do-it-yourself) will. Why is an estate plan important? A new CIBC Capital Markets reports: a) Baby boomers in Canada will inherit approximately $750 billion over the next decade (the country’s largest-ever transfer of wealth), and b) More than 2.5 million Canadians are older than 75 years of age (45% of which are widowed). Overall, there is 25% more elderly Canadians than a decade ago. These facts have created a lot of attention around the topic of estate planning. Naming an executor to manage your estate when you are not around is no simple task. The executor role is complex because of the variety of skills required; time consuming because of the sheer volume of tasks to be managed; and challenging because the relationships involved can become strained, due to the combination of emotions and money. Your executor will have many tasks that your advisor can assist with, to ease their burden and help clarify the overall process. On the flip side of that, being appointed as executor will take time, energy and attention to detail. Depending on the estate, it can be a very complex endeavour. Be aware of the risks involved and the recent changes that have occurred in the rules for probating an estate in Ontario. You need to be organized! Don’t leave your executor in a risky position or searching for documents. Document all of your affairs, including your assets, insurance, contact numbers of professionals you deal with, etc If possible, introduce your executor to your financial advisor. - 4 - We have some fantastic tools on our website – www.potvinfinancial.com – tools to help you organize your estate and make it easier for your executors to manage on your passing. There are also some excellent tools for executors to help them make sense of their role and all the responsibilities that go along with it. Here are some of the tools you can access on our website: ▪ A Practical Guide to Inheritance Planning ▪ Estate Risk Profile ▪ Letter of Direction for your Executors ▪ Important Estate Information Record manager/workbook ▪ Framework of Executor’s Tasks & Checklist ▪ Estate Planning for Disabled Beneficiaries ▪ Executor Guide, checklist and compensation guidelines Arranging your investments with your estate in mind: In Ontario, your assets are subject to probate fees on death (death tax).

Phase two began with a brainstorming event on how the community would like to see the build- ings and businesses along Bank Street develop, including the types of uses, de- sign criteria and amenities. A group of residents offered their ideas about the following main issues: types of uses, building height, building location on properties, design guide- lines, parking and transition from commercial use to residential use. This arti- cle provides a summary of what was said. TYPES OF USES There is a strong consensus on the desire to maintain and enhance the vil- lage mainstreet atmosphere of Bank Street. The following characteristics of Bank Street are highly praised: the walkability of the street, the ability to form personal relationships with merchants, the opportunity to have informal en- counters along the way, and the variety of small retail stores that provide unique goods and services responding to the daily needs of residents. Participants recommended development with a mix of uses, including retail on the ground floor with office and residential uses above.

  • Downtown LRT Stations
    Downtown LRT Stations Connecting Downtown Ottawa To address thebottleneckoftransitserviceinthedowntownthe City is moving forward with the Ottawa Light Rail Transit (OLRT) project.To ensure that the downtown core will be effectively served it was determined that 5 of the 13 stations be located within downtown Ottawa, each bringing a unique contribution to Ottawa’s transit system and its connections to important downtown destinations. When choosing where to put the downtown stations and their entrances, the City looked towards two guiding principles: • Which locations will service the maximum number of riders possible? • Are those locations technically feasible within our project budget? Campus Station The Campus Station is located near the current OC Transpo bus station and will be integrated with the University of Ottawa campus, Colonel By Drive and the historic Rideau Canal. This station will service the Sandy Hill neighbourhood, as well as the Elgin Street business district and the Golden Triangle neighbourhood via the Corktown Footbridge. Rideau Station Rideau Station is an underground station located on Rideau Street and will provide access to the historic ByWard Market, the National Gallery, the US Embassy, office buildings, retail shops, and restaurants on Rideau Street and in the Byward Market, as well as destinations such as nearby hotels and the Ottawa Convention Centre. It is also the location of the proposed Arts Hub, bringing together the Ottawa Art Gallery, new theatre space and a number of important local arts organizations. Downtown East Station The Downtown East station is an underground station located on Queen Street between Bank and Metcalfe, just two short blocks from the Parliament Hill grounds, including the Peace Tower, House of Commons, the Library of Parliament, Veterans Affairs and Justice Canada.
