The Choice is Yours
At Mackie Research Capital Corporation, we offer the flexibility to choose not only the type of relationship you want to have with your Investment Advisor
and how much involvement you wish to have in managing your wealth, but also how you pay for their services.
Commissions or Fee Based
Fee-based accounts are one of the fastest growing investment options in North America. Fee-based offers the convenience of a predictable, all-inclusive
asset-based fee instead of transaction based commissions. With no transaction costs, you have more freedom to achieve your unique investment goals. The
account fee is tax deductible for non-registered accounts.
However, some investors still prefer transactional based commissions. The freedom to choose is yours.
Investment Counselor Account
The MRCC Investment Counselor Account provides you with the benefit of professional investment management and discipline. With a minimum of
$100,000 to invest and for one inclusive fee, your Investment Advisor can bring together a diversified multi-manager solution to suit your investment needs,
with the flexibility, control and tax advantages of owning a wide range of individual securities.

The freedom to focus on what is important to you,
and the confidence that your wealth is being managed
according to the high standards you demand.

Managed Portfolio Accounts
As a client of our Managed Portfolio Accounts program, your
personal Portfolio Manager will work with you to custom-design
an investment strategy based on your unique requirements. The
process begins with establishing your investment objectives, risk
tolerance and time horizons, discussing asset mix guidelines
and security selection criteria. Your Portfolio Manager will work
within this framework to manage your investment portfolio on
your behalf, freeing you from the daily details. Your RSP, IPP, RIF,
RESP, and TFSA can all be part of your managed portfolio as well.
At Mackie Research Capital Corporation you have direct access to
your personal Portfolio Manager.
Your portfolio will be constantly monitored by your Portfolio
Manager and any necessary revisions, whether due to changes in
market conditions or your personal situation, can be acted upon
in a timely manner.
You will receive regular updates on the progress of your portfolio,
with statements detailing the activity in your account and
providing the current market value of each of your holdings. You
will also have access to review your account through our secure
online service.

An estate plan ensures the simple, tax-efficient, and
prompt transfer of your wealth to the next generation.

Estate Planning
No matter what your net worth, it is important to have an estate plan to reduce the taxes and expenses of your estate. An estate plan ensures the simple,
tax-efficient and prompt transfer of your wealth to the next generation.
Did you know that:
n When you die, all your assets including RRSPs, RRIFs and vacation properties are deemed to have been sold at market value and your estate must pay
taxes on the resulting capital gains. This can reduce your estate by as much as 48%.
n Probate fees may also be payable by your estate, usually set as a percentage of the value of your estate. In Ontario a $1,000,000 estate would have to pay
a $14,500 “estate administration fee”. Other expenses could include both executor and legal fees.
n If you die without a will, provincial laws will decide how your wealth is dispersed according to strict formulas and only after many months of delay.
n An enduring power of attorney can ensure important decisions about your financial and personal situation can be made in the event you
are incapacitated.
n A succession plan ensures your private business interests won’t be at risk.
Solutions can be as simple as leaving registered assets to a spouse, or financially dependant minor child or grandchild. Others may call for the expertise of
an insurance expert or a succession planning and tax professional.
Planned charitable giving can also be used to reduce taxes.

Preserving your wealth for your heirs and beneficiaries.
“

Estate Planning
Insurance
Insurance is an important part of any estate plan. The proper insurance policy can provide your estate with the liquidity needed to pay final taxes,
probate fees, capital gains and settlement costs, while preserving much of your wealth for your heirs and beneficiaries.
If a beneficiary is named, the death benefit payment from an insurance policy will be tax-free and not subject to probate fees.
Insurance can also be used to plan charitable donations by your estate.
Factors to consider include:
n Wealth, income and expense levels of your dependants
n Significant foreseeable expenses
n Inheritances you wish to leave
n Lifestyle you wish to provide for your dependants
Our in-house insurance experts are here to help your Investment Advisor evaluate your insurance needs and find the products that best suit your unique
situation.
Insurance services are available through Mackie Research Financial Services Inc.
Succession Planning and Tax Professionals
We offer the professional advice of outside partner firms who specialize in succession planning and work with you and your advisor in planning for the
preservation and transfer of your wealth and minimize the potential expenses
Charitable Giving
The charitable donation of securities and mutual funds has substantial tax benefits, and can generate a tax credit worth as much as 46% of the value of the
donated securities.
Charitable giving as part of an estate plan can have even greater tax benefits. Charitable donations of up to 100% of income can be claimed by your estate.
Any excess can be claimed on the return for the previous year.
As many charitable organizations are not equipped to handle such donations, we facilitate all aspects of your donation to ensure it is completed smoothly.
Whether it’s a one time or recurring donation or you want to create a legacy to provide for the ongoing funding of your philanthropic wishes, Mackie
Research Capital can ensure your charitable giving is managed in a tax effective manner.

We offer customized portfolio management and
investment services to private clients and institutional investors,
financial advisory and investment banking services
to early stage through mid-cap companies.

Your Assets Are Safe With Us
Where Your Securities Are Held
Most of our clients’ securities are held at the major securities depositories such as Clearing and Depository Services (CDS ) and Depository Trust Company
(DTC). All securities which have been fully paid for by our clients are required by regulation to be segregated. Segregated means that the assets are
held in trust for our clients and are not commingled with Mackie Research Capital Corporation’s own assets. If the client owes Mackie Research Capital
Corporation money, we are only permitted to not segregate enough securities to fully margin the amount of the client’s debt. All remaining securities must
be held in segregation for the client. Securities and cash balances held in registered plans are all held by the Royal Trust Company in custody for our clients.
When you are reading your statement you can see which securities have been segregated by looking at the “asset location” next to each security position
on the statement. Those which have been segregated are noted as such. Our compliance with the segregation rules is tested periodically by our external
auditors and the regulators.
Insurance Coverage Protects Your Assets
Mackie Research Capital Corporation has Financial Institution Bond coverage in the event of a loss of securities due to fraud, theft, fire, or similar types
of events. Our clients have coverage to protect them in the event that Mackie Research Capital Corporation were to become insolvent. The first level of
protection comes from the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF) which provides the same level of protection for every investment dealer in Canada.
This covers a shortfall of up to Cdn $1,000,000 per client for any combination of cash and securities. In addition, Mackie Research Capital Corporation has
purchased additional coverage from Lloyd’s of London which raises the limit to Cdn $2,000,000 per client. Most investors will have two accounts, a general
account and a retirement account that are each eligible for $2,000,000 coverage. Full details of CIPF are available at www.cipf.ca.
The CIPF and excess insurance coverage described above applies to any shortfall in assets. All segregated assets would first be distributed to the clients.
Typically the shortfall, if any, would be substantially less than the full value of the account, even if that value were in excess of $2,000,000.
Mackie Research Capital Is Financially Strong
Mackie Research Capital Corporation has a strong balance sheet and a regulatory capital base which is much higher than most independent dealers. We
don’t trade in complex derivatives and our cash resources are conservatively invested in treasury bills and bankers acceptances. We know exactly what we
own and what market risks we take. Boring maybe, but we don’t like surprises.
