We thought you might be interested in seeing a copy of the Summer 2017 edition of The Northwood Perspective newsletter.
Northwood Perspective - Summer 2017
The first half of 2017 was an interesting time for us at Northwood. In this quarter’s edition of the Chairman’s message, I discuss the concepts of trusts and my takeaways from a conference I recently attended in Atlanta on Trustees and Beneficiaries. Barrett Lyons writes a piece on Canada’s decision to sign on to the new Common Reporting Standards (CRS) for OECD countries, Andrew Jeffery covers the mains skills that a family office advisor should have, and Scott Dickenson provides an overview of the recent Bank of Canada rate hike. Finally, Scott Hayman revisits the concept of how a family of wealth should approach the concept of investment risk. We hope you find our newsletter valuable and, as always, we look forward to your comments and feedback.
