Accessibility to Quality Financial Advice

Research indicates that individuals with substantial wealth often have access to high-quality financial advisors, enhancing their financial decision-making. In contrast, individuals with lower incomes frequently engage with advisors who may prioritize sales over sound financial guidance, resulting in suboptimal outcomes. This disparity underscores the necessity of improving access to competent financial advice for the mass market. The need for quality education and advocacy in this area remains critical to leveling the playing field for all Canadians.
