Retirement Planning

Navigating the reality of multi-layered wealth

For high-net-worth families, doctors, and business owners, retirement planning is rarely a simple question of whether you’ve accumulated enough. Instead, it’s about coordination, optimization, and managing the multi-layered complexities of significant wealth.

When your assets are distributed across corporations, personal portfolios, and holding companies, traditional accumulation strategies must shift into a deliberate plan for the future.

The complexity of decumulation

The transition from building wealth to drawing an income requires a highly specialized approach. Decumulation for high-net-worth individuals involves navigating corporate tax structures, passive income rules, and complex withdrawal sequencing.

Grant Strachan & Associates acts as your retirement financial planner, designing a clear framework that dictates exactly how, when, and from which structures to draw your retirement income to keep tax drag to an absolute minimum.

Accumulating significant assets is only half the journey. The real strategy lies in how you draw them out.

We specialize in converting multi-layered corporate holdings into a cohesive, tax-efficient personal income, protecting your family’s lifestyle from unnecessary tax drag.


Bespoke frameworks for business owners

Standard corporate retirement solutions often overlook the unique intersection of business equity and personal wealth. We specialize in designing tailored retirement plans for business owners, aligning your corporate financial structure with your long-term family lifestyle goals.

Our team evaluates specialized corporate vehicles, tax-efficient small business retirement plans, and business succession sequencing to ensure your hard work is successfully converted into a sustainable personal legacy.

Comprehensive protection and pension planning
