Planning for retirement is more important than ever. Yet, many Quebecers simply aren’t planning well enough to secure the income they need to sustain their lifestyle and make for a comfortable retirement.
To fully enjoy your retirement, it’s important to plan it as early as possible with the right strategy that aligns with your priorities, future projects and current savings capacity.
To make your decision easier, use one of your savings goals as a starting point.
If you’re looking to save for retirement, buying a home, renovations or to build an emergency fund, it might be better to opt for an RRSP. But if you want to save for a trip or home renovations, a TFSA may be your best bet.
Since every situation is unique, meet with a Laurentian Bank advisor to discuss RRSPs and TFSAs and figure out the best solution for you.
At Laurentian Bank, we have several solutions to help you save. Depending on your savings goals, life priorities and investor profile, our advisors will help you establish a personalized investment strategy adapted to your situation and aspirations. They will then recommend the registered plans, investment products and financing options that are best for you.
Guaranteed Investment Certificates3 (GICs) are investments that offer a guaranteed rate of return over a fixed and pre-determined period of time.
ActionGICs4 allow you to take advantage of market performance and greater growth potential than a conventional GIC, while guaranteeing 100% return of capital.
A mutual fund2 is an investment group (made up of stocks, bonds or other securities) that is managed by a professional portfolio manager. When you invest in a mutual fund, you pool your money with other investors. Your capital is not guaranteed, but there may be a higher return potential depending on market fluctuations.
Did you know that you could invest responsibly with the Mackenzie Global Women’s Leadership Fund, the Mackenzie Global Environmental Equity Fund and the Mackenzie Global Sustainability and Impact Balanced Fund in the Laurentian Bank mutual funds range?
An ESG fund is an ethical fund based on an in-depth analysis of the companies it’s composed of, including their risk management and their societal and environmental impacts. ESG refers to environmental, social and corporate governance factors. Although they have existed for more than a decade, the public’s interest in this type of fund is growing as it encourages responsible investment, unlike other, more traditional mutual funds whose main selection criteria is profitability.
The ESG fund brings together companies that work in, among other things, green and renewable energies, or that encourage healthy working conditions and/or the presence of women on boards of directors. These criteria help minimize risk and can, therefore, generate stronger returns compared to portfolios that fail to take these criteria into account.
The PSIP is a saving solution that helps you adopt good saving habits, allowing you to put money aside on a regular basis without having to think about it. Together with an advisor, you can determine the amount you want to save and then establish the frequency of your payments (weekly, monthly, etc.).
Laurentian Bank PSIP direct debits allow you to save year-round and at your own pace, helping you reach your savings goals and achieve what’s important to you.

Three reasons why you should diversify your portfolio:
The goal of diversifying is to spread out the risk, choosing different investments to protect your savings against market fluctuations without sacrificing potential returns. If certain investments don’t generate the expected return, other investments can compensate, allowing you to balance out your losses and gains.
