Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)

The money that grows in your RRSP investment portfolio is tax-sheltered and will not be taxed as it makes gains for you.    In addition, all of the contributions that you make to your RRSP are tax deductible so the total amount of your annual contribution can be deducted from your gross income at tax time.  This will reduce the amount you pay in income tax for each year that you make a contribution.

Mutual Funds

Mutual funds are investments that represent the savings of many people who have pooled their money together to achieve a shared investment objective. Investments held within a mutual fund may include stocks, bonds, cash, money market instruments and/or other types of securities. Every mutual fund has a stated objective which is defined in its prospectus document. Mutual fund investors can select funds with stated objectives that match their own specific investment objective, time horizon and risk tolerance. The investment portfolio is managed by a professional portfolio manager who strives to make the best investment decisions to
support the objective and mandate of the fund.
