Retirement Savings Plans

 

These days, more and more Canadians are looking for a retirement savings plan that gives them the power to choose from a wider range of investment opportunities, provides them with the potential for greater returns and allows them to match their investments to their comfort level.

A RBC Direct Investing RSP can help you build a well diversified portfolio. It gives you access to a whole range of RSP-eligible investments, including GICs, treasury bills, money market instruments, bonds, strip bonds, stocks, over 2,500 mutual funds , and more.

There is NO FEE for a RBC Direct Investing Self-Directed RSP if you maintain a balance of $25,000 or more. If your balance is less than $25,000, you pay a low annual administration fee.

Use our convenient online form to transfer your RSP account from another institution to RBC Direct Investing.

Spousal Retirement Savings Plan

By directing part of your annual contribution into a Spousal RSP, you can build a separate retirement fund for your spouse and gain the benefit of a tax deduction now.

Here is how it works:

  • Each year, you can split your allowable contributions between your RSP and a separate Spousal RSP set up for your spouse.
  • You receive the same deduction as if you were contributing to a single RSP.
  • This allows you to save taxes during your retirement years by splitting your retirement income with your spouse.

Locked-in Retirement Account

You can transfer locked-in funds from a registered pension plan to a separate RBC Direct Investing RSP called a Locked-in Retirement Account (LIRA). You'll pay only one annual administration fee, no matter how many RSPs are registered in your name.

Contribute to your RSP without cash

Another advantage of the Self-Directed RSP is the ability to contribute RSP-eligible securities from your RBC Direct Investing Investment Account. The value of each direct security contribution to your RSP is based on the previous day's closing price of the security on the date of your contribution.

RBC Registered Rewards

RBC Registered Rewards. For every dollar you spend on your eligible RBC Royal Bank Visa card, you earn 1 RBC Rewards point. In turn, you can redeem your points for an RBC Registered Rewards voucher that you can make a contribution into your RBC Direct Investing RSP, just like cash.
