WEALTH ADVOCATE A NEW PROFESSION IN FINANCE

Why a Wealth Advocate

Your financial life may involve many professionals. Who represents you?

Accountants, lawyers, investment advisors, insurance professionals and other specialists may each play an important role in your financial life. But each typically sees only one part of the picture.

Three Wolves at Your Door by Scott Ross

How the Idea of the Wealth Advocate Began

It started with a book.

After more than 30 years in financial services, Scott Ross wrote Three Wolves at Your Door to help Canadians better understand the forces shaping their financial future—and to level the playing field with their financial providers.

While the book identified a need, it also exposed a gap: the ideal independent professional to help people navigate the system—and level the playing field with their financial providers—did not exist. That realization became the genesis for both the Wealth Advocate and Wealth Literacy concepts.

For Industry Professionals

The profession is how the idea becomes larger than one person.

The Wealth Advocate profession will be built through thoughtful conversation—with the people it is intended to serve and the professionals who can help make it credible.

A credible profession cannot be created by a title alone. It will require standards, qualifications, experience, independence, governance and accountability.

Wealth Literacy

Knowing the rules is one thing. Knowing how they shape your life is another.

▣ Did You Know?

Canadians collectively own roughly six dollars of assets for every dollar of debt.

Yet most financial education is still centred on debt management and budgeting rather than on understanding wealth.

As Canadians accumulate homes, pensions, investments and businesses, they face a different challenge: knowing how to build, protect and preserve wealth over decades.

Wealth Literacy helps Canadians bridge that gap.
