The report revealed that in addition to concerns on business succession, the other concerns were found out to be retirement planning and tax minimization.
Commenting on the survey findings, Howard Kabot, vice-president of financial planning at RBC Wealth Management Services, said: "We are seeing a recent shift in the concerns of our high net worth clients. While they continue to seek out advice on retirement planning, and as part of that, tax minimization to ensure a successful retirement, they are also now increasingly putting on their business-owner hat and seeking out advice around the succession of their business."
