Saving, budgeting and investing
Reaching your financial goals starts with a budget and savings plan. Let’s make your money go further.
RRIF (Registered retirement income fund)
An investment account that pays you income during retirement. You can transfer tax-sheltered funds from registered Canadian accounts such as RRSPs, registered pension plans and other RRIFs into a RRIF.
LIF (Life income fund)
A registered account designed to pay you income from your locked-in pension assets. These assets can’t be taken out all at once, since a LIF is meant to provide retirement income throughout your life.
RRSP (Registered retirement savings plan)
A type of savings account specially designed to help Canadians save for their retirement.
It comes with tax advantages that let you save and grow your money now, while deducting your RRSP contributions from your current tax bill.

RESPs (Registered education savings plan)†
A tax-deferred account to help you save for a child’s or grandchild’s post-secondary education. Anyone can open a RESP and contribute money at any time, up to a lifetime total of $50,000 per child. Contributions aren’t tax deductible, but any investment income earned within the plan will be taxed only when it’s withdrawn.
GICs (Guaranteed investment product)**
Designed for people who want to protect their principal and earn a guaranteed rate of return.
Because of their many features, guaranteed interest products are an important component of both registered and non-registered savings plans – as well as retirement income plans.

Mutual funds†
A mutual fund is a pool of money and investments (e.g. stocks, bonds and other types of investments) that are managed by a professional fund manager.
Segregated funds
Segregated fund contracts are a popular investment option, available only from life insurance companies. Similar to mutual funds, segregated funds are large pools of money invested in stocks, bonds or other securities. These contracts have higher fees than mutual funds because they also offer guarantees and some of the additional benefits of a life insurance contract.
LIRA (Locked-in retirement account)
A registered account designed to hold and invest pension assets that you and your former employers contributed to. Investments within the LIRA grow tax-deferred – this means you won’t have to pay taxes on investment growth until you withdraw funds.
FHSA (First Home Savings Account)
The Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA) is a registered investment account that allows Canadian residents to save for their first home purchase.
