About Alexander Beard Canada
Cross-Border Wealth Planning Made Simple
Managing wealth across borders can be complex — but with the right guidance, it becomes a powerful advantage. Whether your assets were built in Canada, overseas, or both, we specialize in creating integrated Global Financial Plans that bring your entire financial picture into focus.
We take the time to understand your unique goals, residency plans, and cross-border obligations. With this insight, we design holistic strategies that support your lifestyle today and secure your financial future wherever life takes you.
Solutions for a Mobile Life
Whether you’re immigrating to Canada, relocating abroad, or working internationally on a temporary contract, your financial life may span multiple countries — each with its own tax rules and investment structures. Often, assets held in one country may lose their advantages in another, leading to inefficiencies or unexpected tax liabilities.
Our team offers tailored solutions to help you restructure or reposition international assets, ensuring your wealth continues to grow and work efficiently across borders.
UK Pension Transfers: Understanding ROPS
If you have a UK pension and are living in or moving to Canada, you may benefit from transferring your pension into a Recognized Overseas Pension Scheme (ROPS).
A ROPS is a UK-approved retirement vehicle that allows for tax-efficient pension transfers to Canada. When structured properly, a ROPS can:
- Reduce currency exchange risk
- Offer tax deferral opportunities
- Better align with Canadian retirement and estate planning strategies
We’ll help you assess whether a ROPS is right for you and ensure your transfer is handled in a compliant and strategic manner.
A Global Strategy, Tailored to You
Our approach aligns your investments, pensions, and savings across jurisdictions while maximizing global tax efficiency. From UK pension transfers and Canadian retirement planning to minimizing foreign withholding taxes and avoiding double taxation, we ensure your plan is both compliant and optimized for growth.
Whether you’re settled in Canada or anticipate future moves, we’re here to give you clarity, control, and confidence in managing your wealth — across borders and into the future.
