The 3rd Annual Private Wealth Canada West Forum is the leading conference for wealth management firms, family offices, and private banks throughout the region.
The forum’s content is developed through hundreds of one-on-one meetings from within the high-net-worth family wealth management community. The program's speaking faculty is primarily comprised of Canada West based leaders in the sector.
Our agenda covers: asset allocation and protection, equity markets, fixed income, alternative investment, succession planning, and an outlook on financial markets and the global economy. This event is completely closed-door and invitation-only. It is designed to enable genuine peer-to-peer learning and networking for the regional private wealth community.
