What is the difference between an RRSP and a RRIF?
An RRSP is for building savings, while a RRIF is for withdrawing income. By age 71, you must convert your RRSP to a RRIF or annuity to begin receiving a sustainable retirement paycheque.
How do I manage sequence-of-returns risk?
Market volatility early in retirement can significantly impact your portfolio's longevity. We use strategic cash buffers and non-correlated assets to ensure your withdrawals remain stable regardless of market performance.
Can I optimize my CPP and OAS timing?
Delaying CPP or OAS can increase your guaranteed lifetime income. We analyze your health, goals, and other assets to determine if deferring these benefits is the right way to maximize your total retirement payout.
How are withdrawals taxed in retirement?
Withdrawals from RRIFs and pensions are fully taxable, whereas TFSA income is tax-free. We help you coordinate these sources to minimize your total tax burden and protect your OAS from clawbacks.
