RRIF (Registered Retirement Income Fund)

RRIFs - Registered Retirement Income Funds
By the end of the calendar year in which you turn 71, you must either withdraw your RRSPs or convert them into RRIFs. RRIFs are a sytematic withdrawal plan that allows you to take out a minimum payment, a fixed amount or a maximum amount (in the case of locked-in plans).  All of the same options exist as with RRSPs for investment. Just remember you can only deposit RRSPs into a RRIF. Talk to someone at your Credit Union and set up your retirement plan with a KCCU RRIF.

What investments are eligible? – An RRIF can hold a combination of eligible investments, such as mutual funds, stocks, bonds and ETFs *, Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) and cash, providing they were originally transferred in from an eligible RRSP.
