Locked-In Registered Income Fund (1)

Continue to benefit from tax sheltered investment growth with a Locked-in Retirement Income Fund (LRIF). As a qualified registered pension holder you'll enjoy tax-sheltered growth on your investments with minimum payments made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. The amount of the annual minimum payment is determined by the age of the plan holder or his/her spouse. The earliest a member can establish a LRIF is 10 years from the normal retirement date as outlined in the pension plan. The LRIF funds may come from:

  1. A Locked In Retirement Account (LIRA)
  2. Directly from an eligible pension plan
  3. Another LRIF under Ontario pension jurisdiction

Deposits held in registered savings plans are separately insured from the deposits held in other accounts. All deposits made to RSP plans are fully insured through the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Ontario with no limit on the maximum amount.
