Decumulation Phase

When an investor retires, their investment focus switches to cash flow and the preservation of their portfolio’s value.

Transitioning to retirement is becoming a bigger focus for Canadian investors, whether it’s planning what they’ll do in retirement, ensuring they have a sustainable cash flow, or how to fund their increasing health needs and retirement home.

Health Care Planning

Canadians are living longer today than any previous generation in history, in fact 2/3 of Canadians say the biggest concern as they get older is their health care, yet less than ¼ of them have planned or saved for this.

Retirement Income

A Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) is a registered account designed to give you income flow in retirement. Think of a RRIF as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) in reverse – RRSPs allow you to accumulate tax-sheltered savings for retirement, while your RRIF generates a taxable retirement income stream from these savings – which still continue to grow and remain tax-sheltered.
