Over the same period, Clarocity went from 43 per cent of the holdings in StableView\u2019s Progressive Growth Fund to 72 per cent, court records show.<\/p>\n<p>The OSC also found that StableView received fees from Clarocity in the form of cash, common shares and debentures as part of a consulting agreement. StableView received cash payments totalling $105,000 from Clarocity, which Mr. Fisher withdrew from StableView \u201cfor his own personal use,\u201d Sherry Brown, an OSC senior forensic accountant, said in an affidavit. The OSC has alleged the fees created a conflict of interest that was not sufficiently disclosed to StableView investors.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>In its application for the receivership, the OSC also raised doubts about how StableView valued its stake in Clarocity, much of which was in debentures. In 2018, StableView recorded the debentures at cost, despite disclosures from Clarocity that its financial position was \u201csubstantially deteriorating\u201d \u2013 something Mr. Fisher was aware of, the OSC alleges.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But on the other hand, I don&#8217;t understand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investmentexecutive.com\/news\/research-and-markets\/cost-control-the-top-concern-for-fund-managers-survey-finds\/\">how the big guys run their businesses<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The survey of 300 global asset management firms, which was carried out by WBR Insights in the first quarter of 2020, found that controlling costs was the top priority for 87% of respondents over the next two years.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>To that end, the survey also found that firms are looking to outsourcing and technology to help meet their goals.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Norther Trust reported that 85% of respondents have outsourced their trading desk or are considering doing so.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get it, I don&#8217;t get it at all. Trading is an absolutely integral part of portfolio management; even separating the function within the firm is a crazy thing to do. I have contempt for firms that use particular brokers in order to use their algorithms &#8211; what&#8217;s the matter, are margins on investment management so skinny you can&#8217;t afford to develop your own algorithms? Outsourcing the desk completely is totally crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, however, a firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/business\/article-canadas-wealthiest-families-hold-256-per-cent-of-riches-new-pbo\/\">doesn&#8217;t need too many &#8220;1%&#8221; clients to stay afloat<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The concentration of wealth among Canada\u2019s richest 1 per cent is deeper than previously believed, according to a federal government report based on a new modelling approach.<\/p>\n<p>The top one per cent of Canada\u2019s families hold about 25.6 per cent of the wealth \u2013 roughly $3-trillion \u2013 up from 13.7 per cent estimated under previous methodology, says the report from the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>The amount of money held by Canadian families would total $11.7-trillion if they liquidated all assets and paid off all liabilities, about five times larger than Canada\u2019s annual gross domestic product, the report notes.<\/p>\n<p>Real estate at $5.8-trillion and mortgages at $1.5-trillion are the single largest asset and liabilities categories.<\/p>\n<p>The report adds that the top 0.5 per cent of Canadian families hold 20.5 per cent or $2.4-trillion of the wealth, up from the previous estimate of 9.2 per cent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve often wondered just how stable the constitution of the &#8220;1%&#8221; (by income) is. Sure, it seems clear that the 0.5% who hold 20.5% of all Canadian wealth are always going to be part of the 1%, at least in terms of income alone before any horrifying capital losses that might get realized every now and then. But it also seems clear that since the threshold of 1% status (by employment income) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/news\/canada-1-per-cent-highest-paid-workers-compare\/article36383159\/\">was &#8220;merely&#8221; $225,409 in 2015<\/a>, it seems to me that there will be plenty of people who bounce in and out of the group on a regular basis, depending on the size of their bonuses.<\/p>\n<p>But yeah, these figures suggest to me that I&#8217;m on the right track when suggesting that favourable tax treatment for dividend and interest income be capped; for one thing, valuing real-estate for wealth-tax purposes is too hard; for another, somebody with $6.1-million in the kitty (according to Table 4-2 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbo-dpb.gc.ca\/web\/default\/files\/Documents\/Reports\/RP-2021-007-S\/RP-2021-007-S_en.pdf\">PBO report<\/a> used as a source by the
