Tax-Free Savings Accounts

A TFSA is a registered, tax-sheltered savings account for your different types of investments. Introduced in 2009, TFSAs became a popular way for Canadians to store assets without a tax penalty for withdrawals or for any accrued interest within the account.

Although useful for short-term financial goals, Tax-Free Savings Accounts are flexible enough to support long-term objectives as well.

Registered Education Savings Plans

Give the gift of education.

A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) can be opened for a child, a teenager, or even yourself. Assets and accrued income from within an RESP are tax-free and accessible once the student registers for post-secondary education.

The Government of Canada can also provide income directly to these accounts via Canada Education Savings Grants and Canada Learning Bonds.

Life Income Fund

Locked-in pension funds and other assets can be held in a Life Income Fund (LIF) and then used as regular income during retirement with a maximum and minimum amount you can take out in a given year. Income is taxed when it is taken out of the plan but not before then. In the event of your passing, this fund can pass to a beneficiary.

Retirement Income Fund

A Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) serves as a source of income during retirement. You choose when and how much you want to withdraw. Like a TFSA, assets deposited into an RRIF are tax-free as is the interest accrued within the account. 

In the event of your passing, your spouse can acquire your RRIF tax-free.

Registered Retirement Savings Plan

Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP) are very common among Canadians because of their many great features.

RRSP contributions are tax-deductible, any investment earnings accrued within the account are tax-free and you can even borrow from your RRSP if you’re buying your first home.

Even if you contribute to a Group RRSP, you can still open an Individual RRSP with us for a tailor-made retirement account.

Non-Registered

Non-Registered Investments are flexible as they have no contribution or withdrawal limits. They also have the potential to give you a higher rate of return on your investment. These accounts are useful for those who have reached their annual limit on their RRSP and who want to invest for short-term goals.

However, a Non-Registered Investment is not tax-sheltered.
