Retire with confidence.

When you turn 71, the money you have saved in your RRSP needs to be either cashed-in or reinvested into other funds. Moving that money into a RRIF allows you to keep growing your savings while living the retired life you planned for by withdrawing monthly income.

  • Keep receiving income even after you retire with money you've saved already
  • Continue growing your money with the choice to invest some or all of the savings in your RRIF
  • Feel confident knowing you can afford the retirement you planned
  • Minimal annual withdrawal requirement
  • No withdrawal limit
  • Investments are tax deferred and tax is paid only on the amounts withdrawn from the RRIF

Tons of retirement investment options, 
all under one roof.

A Registered Retirement Income Plan (RRIF) is a retirement income fund registered with the government. It provides you with income during your retirement while sheltering the balance from the tax man. An RRSP must be converted to an RRIF by December 31 of the year in which you turn 71 to convert your RRSP to an income-generating plan. You can't put money directly into an RRIF. Instead, you can transfer funds in from your savings in an RRSP, another RRIF, a Registered Pension Plan, or a commuted RRSP Annuity.

Your RRIF account can hold any type of investment product like the ones listed below. And since how you invest is just as important as how much you invest, our skilled planning team is here to help understand your individual needs and goals so you have the right portfolio mix.
