RRSP Dos and Don’ts RRSP investing may seem easy, but there’s more to it than you think

Your Money Team with Glenn Gaudet

As the March 1 RRSP deadline nears, many Canadians will, as they do every year, stash a lastminute lump-sum of cash into their retirement accounts. While it’s better to contribute before the deadline than not contribute at all, investing under pressure isn’t the best way to maximize your savings. “For a lot of a people, it’s a bit of a scramble at this time of year to make an RRSP contribution,” says Todd Sigurdson, IG Wealth Management’s Director of Tax and Estate Planning.

Your portfolio needs to model your stage in life. People in their 50s and 60s may need to be more conservative than younger investors.

Fortunately, RRSPs aren’t that complicated – you put money in, potentially receive a tax refund and then watch your savings grow until you need them in retirement. However, there are still some dos and don’ts that people need to keep in mind at the deadline and throughout the year.

For a lot of a people, it’s a bit of a scramble at this time of year to make an RRSP contribution. But why wait until the deadline when you can do automate contributions? RRSP deadlines don’t have to be stressful.

Do automate contributions

Waiting until the RRSP deadlines can result in a variety of issues. Some people find it difficult to find the money to invest, and this can result in them foregoing a contribution altogether while others end up making a smaller contribution than they would like

Others end up rushing and simply writing a cheque without confirming their RRSP contribution room, which can result in an

overcontribution and a subsequent financial penalty.

The best way to avoid the last minute cash stash is to set up automatic monthly withdrawals from your chequing account into your RRSP. That way, by the time the deadline arrives, you’ll have already reached your contribution limit Investing regularly will also allow you to reap the benefits of dollar cost averaging.
