Self-Directed RRSP

    0.01 sec.
Self-Directed RRSP
In Canada, registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) in which the account holder has a great deal of control over the investments made on the account. That is, either the account holder or a designated representative has the ability to make investments off of the contributions made to the account. However, investments not ordinarily permitted on an RRSP are still not permitted on a self-directed RRSP. The individual account holder must ensure that investment conforms to this rule, or risk losing the tax deductible nature of contributions.

These investments are the same investments available to the self-directed RRSP plan holder, and include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and mortgage-backed securities (MBS), amongst others, though your employer will choose which investments will be offered.
Second, there are self-directed plans that allow contributors to choose investments for themselves with qualified investments similar to self-directed RRSPs.
Some of the investment strategies to consider include the type of return you want your RRSP to earn, how close you are to retiring or using the funds for income, and whether you are actively going to manage the funds in a self-directed RRSP with or without the help of a financial advisor.
