The income quintiles refer to the quintiles estimated at the Canada level and not at the provincial/territorial level. The Income quintiles are assigned based on the equalized household disposable income. This takes into account differences in household size and composition. The Oxford-modified equivalence scale is used; it assigns a value of 1 to the first adult, 0.5 to each additional person aged 14 and over, and 0.3 for all children under 14. Age groups refer to the age group of the major income earner. Life insurance and pensions include the value of all life insurance and employer pension plans, termination basis.

HNW individuals in Canada are predominantly older males. HNW investors mainly source their wealth through earned income and entrepreneurship, but inheritance is forecast to rise given the older age of the HNW cohort. In a competitive market such as this, while the largest chunk of HNW wealth is held via discretionary mandates, offering a multi-service proposition focused on financial planning and tax planning is a must. A burgeoning appetite for digitized and automated solutions such as robo-advice, a buoyant property market, and growing demand for ESG and alternative investments provide arguably the most significant growth opportunities for global wealth managers in the foreseeable future.

This table has been archived and replaced by table 36100665. The sum of the values for net worth and its components by province and region is less than the total for Canada as they exclude the territories.

The Income quintiles are assigned based on the equalized household disposable income. This takes into account differences in household size and composition. The Oxford-modified equivalence scale is used; it assigns a value of 1 to the first adult, 0.5 to each additional person aged 14 and over, and 0.3 for all children under 14.

Age groups refer to the age group of the major income earner. Life insurance and pensions include the value of all life insurance and employer pension plans, termination basis. Excludes public plans administered or sponsored by governments: Old Age Security (OAS) including the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and the Spouse's Allowance (SPA), as well as the Canada and Quebec Pension Plans (CPP/QPP).

Owner's equity refers to the value of the interests of an owner or partial owner in an asset, in this case real estate, divided by household real estate, which includes the value of structures (residential and non-residential) and land owned by households. Distributions of Household Economic Accounts (DHEA) estimates are benchmarked to year-end estimates for liabilities and assets from the National Balance Sheet Accounts (NBSA, Table 36-10-0580-01), and for annual household disposable income from the Provincial-Territorial Economic Accounts (Table 36-10-0224-01). DHEA ratios for debt to disposable income, real estate as a share of disposable income, and net worth as a share of disposable income differ from those included in “Financial indicators of households and non-profit institutions serving households, national balance sheet accounts” (Table 38-10-0235-01) as the latter source adjusts disposable income for the change in pension entitlements. The measure of disposable income used for the DHEA ratios is more consistent with that shown in “Household sector credit market summary table, seasonally adjusted estimates” (Table 38-10-0238), which does not adjust disposable income for the change in pension entitlements.
