Registered Plans

Choose a registered plan: choose a direct savings path to your future!

 

What are registered plans?

Registered plans are savings plans that have been registered with the government and are designed to provide tax-advantaged investing. With registered plans, you save in the following ways:

  • The most significant advantage is the tax-deferred compounding of all investment income earned in the plan

  • An advantage available for retirement plans is the opportunity to make tax-deductible contributions

Registered plans provide one of the best tax-sheltering opportunities available and are an exceptional tool to help you maximize your savings. Our wealth advisors will work with you to determine the registered plan that fits your savings and investment goals.

We are proud to offer the following registered plans.
