The government requires that you close out your RRSPs by December 31 of the year in which you turn 71. Three conversion options are available: a lump sum withdrawal from your RRSP, an annuity or a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF). When making your choice, you will need to ensure adequate income to meet your retirement needs now and in the future, including lump-sum expenditures and unforeseen costs.

Choosing a Comtech Fire RRIF will enable you to have a continued but controlled tax deferral of your RRSP funds. With a variety of options available at your Credit Union, a RRIF is an attractive alternative that is more flexible and allows you to withdraw extra funds if unexpected needs arise.
