Grow your investments
Our range of investment options can help get you where you want to be—no matter what your retirement plans and savings goals are.
An RRSP is a registered plan where you can invest your money. When you contribute to an RRSP, you reduce your taxable income while saving for retirement. Your funds can even be used to buy a first home or further your education (some conditions apply).
You might also want to think about investing in a TFSA or an RESP. A TFSA lets you grow your savings tax-free, while an RESP is a great way to save for your children's education—the government will match your contribution by 20% to 40%.
Try to contribute to your savings on a regular basis rather than waiting until the end of the year. We recommend setting up automatic withdrawals in your bank account as if you were paying a bill. Transfer the funds into an RRSP, an RESP or an TFSA—small investments can really add up!
Are you wondering how long you need to save for to reach a specific goal? Use our savings calculator.
Some investments may perform well in the short term but carry more risk, while others may generate lower returns but guarantee a stable income. A good investment strategy involves investing in a range of securities so your portfolio performs well overall.
