RRIFs

A Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) is a vehicle that helps extend the benefit of tax sheltered interest that was earned in your RRSP. It liquidates your accumulated RRSP savings with a fixed annual payment. Since RRSP contracts must be terminated by the end of the year in which you turn 69, the RRIF can be the ideal retirement income option for you. We offer 3 types of RRIF’s, variable rate, fixed rate deposits and mutual funds.
