Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIF's)...The features of our RRIF plans are similar to the RRSP accounts. RRIF's are a preferred destination for RRSP funds when you are ready to receive income (or reach age 69). You decide the payment frequency and amount according to your needs (subject to government set minimums). You continue to maintain complete investment control as you choose the rates or terms that suit your objectives. See our RRIF calculator under "Financial Tools".
