Designing Retirement Income

It is harder than ever to create a worry-free retirement cash flow to pay for lifestyle after age 60. Low interest rates on bonds, fewer pensions, kids at home and longer lives have left the average Canadian struggling to find enough money to survive in retirement. This seminar is in collaboration with CPA Western Provinces. The content is applicable to all participants.

   
In this fast-paced webinar, Kurt Rosentreter will address retirement cash flow considerations on retirement age, CPP, RRIF, income splitting, tax planning, estate factors, insurance and real estate. The full range of investment products possibly considered for retirement including: dividend paying stocks, preferred shares, corporate bonds, GICs, bond funds and ETFs, REITs, TSWP mutual funds, guaranteed withdrawal insurance products, segregated fund from insurance companies and much more will be covered. It will also include a case study on how to pull the plan together – from understanding expenses and how to match them up with income sources after tax.
