There's a distinctively local fla- vor to the national conference for women entrepreneurs being held this week in Toronto. The options used to be fairly simple. You could withdraw the entirety of your RRSP in cash, buy an annuity or transfer the RRSP into a Registered Retirement Income Fund GRIP). The first choice is considered the most unattractive since cashing in an RRSP creates a heavy tax bill. The second-buying an annuity- guarantees a regular income for the rest of the owners life but doesn't guard against inflation. The third, rolling your RRSP into a RRIF is now. more than ever. the most attractive option. For anyone turning TI, it's time to ask an important question: How will you convert your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) to obtain the best income possible for the remainder of your life? In a recent budget, the Federal government dramatically altered the rules governing RRIF's. a tax- sheltered plan that provides periodic payments to the investor for the remainder of their life.

If you opened a RRIF at age 71, what you would receive the first year would payout l/20th the value of the plan, the second 1/19. and so on until the age of 90 when the remainder of the plan would be redeemed. With changes in the budget. however, the RRIF may now last for the duration of the RRIF-tyvner's lifetime. Now the payments will increase gradually until the age of 94 when the minimum payment of 20 percent will continue for the remainder of the investors life. ‘TRIMARK MUTUAL FUNDS A gala awards dinner to honor women entrepreneurs from across Canada - hosted by Diane Francis - author, entrepreneur. and editor, will be held on Fri., Nov. 5th.

Street Wt "viu" TO LITE†Ft 338-8600 D The advantages of owning a RRIF are fairly evident. Yet there is more. When buying an annuity, payments are based on fixed-income returns. A RRIF, on the other hand, can be invested in a variety of growth or balanced investments, such as mutual funds. Talk to your r1nancial advisor to discover how a RRIF can be tailored to fit your retirement income needs.
