Plans and solutions

Savings that take your projects into account

Your goals, your time horizon, your responsibilities and your personal situation shape the options. Willy takes the time to discuss your priorities.

RRSP — Registered Retirement Savings Plan

Savings intended mainly for retirement. Eligible contributions can generally be deducted from taxable income within the applicable limits; withdrawals are usually taxable.

TFSA — Tax-Free Savings Account

A TFSA can hold qualified investments whose income and withdrawals are generally tax-free. It can be used for different time frames and projects.

FHSA — First home

The FHSA is designed to help eligible individuals save to buy a first home. Eligibility and the contribution and withdrawal rules must be checked.

RESP — Children’s education

An RESP lets you build savings for post-secondary education. Some government incentives may apply according to the rules.

Preparing for retirement: RRIFs, LIFs and annuities

A RRIF provides income, notably from amounts transferred from an RRSP, with minimum withdrawals and tax consequences. A LIF applies to certain locked-in retirement funds and follows specific rules. Annuities can help structure some future income according to their contracts.

Segregated funds

Segregated funds are investments tied to insurance contracts; some guarantees may exist depending on the contracts. Risks, fees, exclusions and conditions must be reviewed. Their distribution must comply with the applicable authorizations.
