I have a $180,000 DC pension plan from my old employer, and I have to decide whether to transfer it to a LIRA within Manulife as a personal plan (where the group plan is right now), or to transfer to another LIRA (ETF direct investing with my bank).

I am 52 and am considering retiring at 55. I have about $120,000 in RRSP.  I also have an LAPP of approximately $600 a month, if I start collecting it at age 65.

My husband is 53 and will be retiring in two years with an RRSP of about $37,000 and a DBPP of approximately $33,000 a year, if he retires at 65. It is between 0.3%-0.4% less if he retires at 55.

I can start collecting CPP at 60 ($600), 65 ($940), and 70 ($1,335); while my husband can start at 60 ($669), 65 ($1,045), and 70 ($1,484).

We currently have a mortgage of $280,000 and will have about $230,000 by the time he retires, approximately nine more years to pay or longer at higher interest rate. Our kids will be finished in university in two years…

Why should you open a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP)? This account type is often described as “tax-advantaged,” meaning it offers a tax-efficient way for savers and investors to build wealth for the future, usually for retirement. To maximize its potential, it helps to know the differences between an RRSP and other kinds of registered accounts, like the tax-free savings account (TFSA) and first home savings account (FHSA). Plus, not all RRSPs are built the same—you’ll want to compare their interest rates and fees, for example…

How many ETFs can Canadian investors own?In Canada, today’s new investors and young people are probably more aware than any previous generation of the possibility of compounding their money in the stock markets—especially with Canada’s inflation at its highest level in over 20 years. At the same time, there can be the problem of having too much to choose from. Should you buy stocks, mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs)? Many Canadian investors veer towards ETFs because of their diversified portfolios and relatively low fees. But it’s an investment jungle out there, and more questions invariably pop up: Which is the best ETF to buy? How many ETFs should I own? And how should I buy ETFs in Canada?

Why invest in ETFs?

As a new investor, you have much to think about, including your investment objectives, your financial circumstances, your risk tolerance and your time horizon. When choosing investments, you’ll also need to consider these factors: return potential, risk factors, fees, ease of access, and the effort needed to maintain their portfolio…
