“I compared everyone. Then I did the math and stopped comparing.”
Robin is not a take-their-word-for-it person. Here’s how he arrived at the platform that finally fit.
We have it all
RRSP
Invest in your future with tax savings today. Every dollar you deposit in an RRSP lowers your taxable income and grows tax-free until it’s withdrawn.
FHSA
Lay the foundation to your downpayment with a mix of tax benefits. With an FHSA, every dollar you deposit lowers your taxable income and grows tax-free.
RESP
Every dollar you contribute can be matched by the government, up to $7,200 per child. And it grows untouched by tax until tuition's due.
Cash account
Invest without any ceiling. After you’ve maxed contributions in other accounts, use your Cash account to invest with no limits, no withdrawal rules, and no deadlines.
Margin account
Access additional buying power and trade beyond your balance on margin, giving you the flexibility to act on opportunity.
TFSA
Save for any goal, big or small, with the most flexible registered account. In a TFSA, your investments grow tax-free and can be withdrawn anytime for any reason.
