Understanding the Personal Pension Plan


What is a Personal Pension Plan™?

It is a Canadian tax-savings solution for business owners and incorporated professionals looking for a better way of saving for their retirement. As compared to an RRSP, the pension solution allows up to 60% greater tax-deferred compounding until the individual retires.


Why HAVE A PERSONAL PENSION PLAN?

Shelter More Income - The ability to build a larger retirement nest-egg by increased contribution levels on an annual basis.

Safety of Your Assets - Your savings within a pension plan are protected from the claims of trade creditors and furthermore, we offer tax-exempt roll-over of existing RRSP assets which will provide further protection of all registered assets.

Tax Deduction of Fees - The ability to deduct all investment, actuarial, administration and trustee fees related to your account from corporate income.

Mitigating Market Losses - The Pension Plan allows the sponsor to make additional tax-deductible contributions each year to top up your account if investments return less than 7.5% to ensure full funding of your pension plan.

Contribution Flexibility - We offer a combination plan that allows you to switch between Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution components to allow for changes in the economic climate of the business.

Greater Scope for Investments - INTEGRIS provides the flexibility to invest in a wide range of non-traditional investment vehicles that are otherwise not available inside of an RRSP.
