Make insurance part of your estate planning

Life insurance is a key aspect of any estate plan – especially for high net worth individuals and families. However, applying for life insurance can be an overwhelming experience. When taking care of this important part of your estate planning, it helps to know what is involved, and to have a knowledgeable team who can tailor life insurance products to fit your unique needs.

What to expect when applying for life insurance

Repair the world through philanthropy

With over 86,000 charities registered in Canada, our government effectively ‘subcontracts’ the support of many of these causes to the private sector. To encourage people and companies to take on this obligation, our tax system contains many material financial incentives. These include tax benefits for gifts of cash, physical property, and other gifts, such as appreciated, publicly traded securities.

What We Value

At TTSG we are guided by the following values.

Collaboration

Giving

Innovation

Integrity

Our business model is built on partnering with our clients and our clients’ advisors to look at their planning holistically. We believe it is more effective to be part of a team where we focus on what we do best and collaborate with best resources available in other areas.

We believe in giving back to the community and empowering our employees to support the causes they are most passionate about. As a company, we have donated or sponsored charity-based events in an amount of more than $1M over the last two years. We also offer a program that matches employee charitable contributions, and have a “Volunteer of the Year” program where one person is recognized with a significant monetary gift that they can choose to donate to an eligible registered charity.

We live in a world of possibilities, not process. We continuously look for new and creative ways to do things better and believe that investments in innovation will always multiply the benefits possible. We have invested millions of dollars to build a team of the sharpest minds dedicated to continuously finding the best ways to achieve our clients’ goals. We invest over $2 million in product research annually and proactively work with our partners to improve the products available to offer our clients. We also invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in employee education and skill development every year to ensure our professionals are top in their field.

We are transparent and accountable to our clients and our partners. In addition to our employees being accountable to the various regulatory organizations governing their professions (e.g. provincial Chartered Professional Accountant bodies, provincial law societies, provincial insurance regulators), we have invested in a full time regulatory compliance lawyer as our Chief Compliance Officer who ensures we maintain the highest standards in insurance compliance, client privacy protection and cybersecurity.
