Group Retirement Savings Plans

  • Group RRSP plans are an employer-sponsored retirement savings initiative where employees contribute pre-tax income which is most often matched by the employer up to a pre-defined maximum.

    Group RRSP Plans offer employees tax benefits, investment options, and portability, making them a popular choice for businesses of all sizes.

  • As the name suggests, the RRSP / DPSP Combination Plan brings together a Group RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan) with a DPSP (Deferred Profit Sharing Plan).

    RRSP/DPSP Combination plans provides tax-deferred growth for employees, and a more flexible retirement savings strategy for employers.

  • Designed for large, well-established businesses, Group Pension Plans are employer-sponsored and provide employees with retirement income based on salary and years of service.

    Employers and employees contribute to a pension fund, aiming to secure retirement income. In recent years, Employers are choosing a Defined Contribution plan model for Group Pension plans.

  • Group Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) and Group Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) are employer-sponsored plans offering tax advantages to employees.

    TFSA’s allows tax-free growth and withdrawals, while RESP’s help employees save for a child's education, providing grants and tax-deferred growth.

  • Group RRSP Plans offer several benefits for both employers and employees. For employees, a Group RRSP Plan provides a convenient way to save for retirement through automatic payroll deductions, taking advantage of pre-tax contributions. It also offers a wide range of investment options, including various funds and securities, allowing employees to tailor their investments to their risk tolerance and financial goals. Employers benefit from offering a Group RRSP Plan by attracting and retaining top talent, as well as encouraging a culture of saving and financial well-being among their workforce.

  • RRSP / DPSP Combination Plans provide a unique blend of benefits for both employees and plan sponsors. The Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) component allows  employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax income towards retirement savings, enjoying potential tax savings and growth on their investments. The Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP) component allows employers to share profits with employees by making employer contributions based on company performance. This combination provides employees with additional retirement savings opportunities and allows employers to foster a sense of shared ownership and reward based on company success.

  • Group TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account) and RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan) plans offer valuable benefits for employees and their families. Group TFSA plans allow employees to save and invest money on a tax-free basis, with the flexibility to withdraw funds at any time without penalty. This enables individuals to grow their savings while maintaining access to their funds when needed. Group RESP plans, on the other hand, help employees save for their children's post-secondary education. Contributions to RESP plans are made with after-tax income, but the funds grow tax-free until withdrawal, providing a tax-efficient way to save for educational expenses.
