An RRSP is an investment account that lets you save for your future on a tax-sheltered basis, allowing your money to grow faster!

Benefits of an RRSP

Reduce your Income Tax – Your annual contributions can be deducted from your gross income and be used to reduce the amount of income tax you pay.

Income Splitting – Through the use of a Spousal RRSP members can contribute to an RRSP in their spouses’ name. You get the benefit of the tax deduction and your spouse can withdraw the funds in retirement at potentially a lower tax bracket.

Consider borrowing to build your nest egg. Although leveraging (borrowing to invest) is usually frowned upon in instances of a risky investment, consider opening an RLOC (RSP Line of Credit). https://www.wpcu.ca/Borrowing/RRSPLoans/ You only have to sign up once, and can use the line of credit on a revolving basis annually, making payments during the year as if you were investing, or, consider using your income tax refund to pay it off sooner.

Investments Glossary


*Mutual funds are offered through Credential Asset Management Inc. Using borrowed money to finance the purchase of securities involves greater risk than purchasing using cash resources only. If you borrow money to purchase securities, your responsibility to repay the loan and pay interest as required by its terms remains the same even if the value of the securities purchased declines.
