Registered Investment Plans
Our investment products are tailored to help you reach your life goals.
Registered accounts can be used for specific goals, such as saving for your child’s education, your own retirement, or a new house. As plans registered with the government, these options are subject to different government rules regarding contributions, withdrawals, and taxation.
Whether saving for retirement, education, a new home or a vacation, our investment options will help get you there. Plus, all deposits are 100% guaranteed by the Deposit Guarantee Corporation of Manitoba. You can feel secure knowing both your principal and interest are guaranteed.
