Both the Retirement Income Fund (RIF) and the Life Income Fund (LIF) from Equitable are ideal options for providing income during retirement. Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) assets transferred to a RIF and pension assets in a LIF continue to grow in a tax sheltered environment while providing you with control over how your assets are invested. The wide investment selection allows you to change your investment mix as your needs change.
Some provinces require that a LIF be converted to a life annuity in the year you turn 80.
Notable features
- Choice over how much income you receive every year (subject to government minimums and maximums)
- Competitive interest rates
- Flexible income options
