 Each
year the BIG question seems to be:
Is there enough money to live when retirement comes around?
Introducing our newest special section - the 2005
Jumbo RRSP Centre, which draws all of our RRSP resources together
for you, including our RRSP calculators, current GIC rates and investment
fund data. We have updated and added new articles to provide an expanded
selection on retirement income and planning at our on-line library.
Our spectrum of articles will provide background to RRSP savings from
different perspectives - from stepping over the marginal tax rate
barrier, through to converting the RRSP into retirement income. |
We've reproduced two articles from
the AIC Tax Smart Bulletin relevant to this year's RRSP investing.

Pension Puzzle. In a few short steps you can get an
idea of the benefits or shortcomings of your present financial
planning course. |

| We all wish we had invested in “that
sure thing”. The problem is the Sure-Thing racehorse “could”
have won the Belmont stakes. Life’s like that - some you win,
some come in fourth. However, for most the sure-thing investment is
fixed term deposit instruments, like guaranteed investment certificate.
Financial planning experts counsel that a portion of your portfolio
be investor in fixed income securities. |
| Life lease is a unique housing option
for mature adults and seniors. A life lease project provides an opportunity
to purchase an interest in the project and to "share" in
any appreciated value of the building and property. The market value
life lease model, provides seniors with the potential to earn a return
on investment similar to the equity growth in a private home, without
the headaches and worries associated with the maintenance of private
property. Life lease communities create a sense of security and well-being
for residents. |
| Property taxes are one of the major
ongoing costs to consider when purchasing any new home. It's a good
idea to start off on the right track by deciding which method of payment
is right for you and your budget. |
| Some 37,000 individual investors have
been identified. $2,000.000 in RRSPs and $6,000.000 in non-registered
accounts have entitlement payments being processed. You may recall
Conded Trust was placed into receivership by CDIC about 10 years ago.
News from PriceWaterhouseCooper, its liquidator indicates that those
individuals that have interest claims are being paid out. If you’ve
moved since that time, you may wish to contact them at 416-815-5192
and find out how to get your information updated regarding this matter.
Further news is from National Bank in that its holding RRSP related
monies above $250.00. If you have received payment you will also
be issued a T5 slip in respect for this payment of interest income
and you’re required to report it as income on your tax return.

| We’ve talked about risk before,
and how best to understand its effect. We know that the risks you
undertake will be as different as you are individually. We also know
the risks in investing ultimately mean the possible loss of capital
in the pursuit capital growth or income.
In this article we examine 5 distinct types of risk using graphs
to better illustrate the definitions of each.
