Your Money Matters



May 2009 Issue


Consolidating your RRSPs


Many of you probably have more than one RRSP account. Consolidating your RRSP accounts can help you save money on managing your investments. Many people receive their quarterly statements, from either different advisors or financial institutions which show the different funds and/or stocks you have. The problem that can arise by having different RRSP accounts are that you may end up with the same holdings therefore you aren’t diversifying your risk. By consolidating your plans it also gives you a truer picture of your investments and makes the management of your financial easier.

By having several RRSP accounts, you end up not knowing your true asset allocation and that can result in having inappropriate weighing toward one type of asset or geographic area.

Some of you may have group RRSPs which most of them give you the option once a year to sweep you and your employer’s contributions, transferring the funds into your main RRSP account. Although, there are some financial incentives to keep a group RRSP open such as reduced management fees.

If you choose not to consolidate your RRSP accounts, providing us with copies of the statements will provide us with the full picture of your situation.

If you are worried about having too much money at one firm, choosing a financial planner like our company that deals with multiple companies reduces that risk.

The past two months has seen significant improvement in the markets. As always, if you have any questions or would like to review your investments, please do not hesitate to give us a call.
