A PRRIF provides people in Saskatchewan and Manitoba a flexible income that can last a lifetime.
Similar to a RRIF, a PRRIF is a way for you to turn money you’ve saved in a pension plan or Locked-in retirement account (LIRA) into income once you retire.
They are only available for Saskatchewan or Manitoba regulated pension funds.
- When you’re eligible to start drawing a pension, you convert money held in a pension plan or LIRA to a PRRIF, subject to applicable legislation.
- You can work with an advisor to choose how to invest that money, which can still grow in a tax-advantaged environment.
- Withdraw the minimum amount each year, with no maximum.
- Control over income and investments
- Growth potential
- Death benefit (any money left over goes to whomever you choose)
- No maximum withdrawal amounts
- Can be held to age 100
- Requires some financial decision-making
- Legislated minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts
- Potential for market volatility
- Potential to run out of money
