Life Income Funds

Life Income Funds combine the features of a Life Annuity and a RRIF. They are available to those with locked-in funds in RRSPs or Registered Pension Plans, who are seeking a choice of investments and income level.

As with a RRIF, you can make adjustments to the amount of income received – subject to annual minimum payments, the income frequency and you control the type of investment. A LIF provides for a maximum annual income to age 80. At this time, the remaining savings must be used to purchase a life annuity. This restriction ensures a pension income for life.

The main difference between a LIF and a RRIF is that a LIF restricts the maximum amount a person can withdraw in a year, in addition to the minimum payment requirement.

Talk to an investment professional to see if a LIF is the right choice for you.
