An investment plan for all of your life stages

Helping you achieve financial clarity

A plan tailored to your needs.

Get an idea of your retirement readiness based on your age, income, and goals. By taking into consideration your existing savings and expected government benefits, your plan will show any gaps or shortfalls that need to be addressed to reach your goal. Your plan will automatically adjust as you save or transfer in funds, so you can easily track your progress either online or through their mobile app.

Smart saving made easy.

The plan will suggest a monthly savings amount. Simply connect your bank account to save in the RRSP or TFSA every month. Once you’ve set it, you can forget about it until you want to make a change. Better yet, choose the auto-escalation feature to automatically increase your monthly contributions each year to keep up with inflation and your income growth.

Automatically adjusts throughout your life.

Get matched to a risk-appropriate investment fund that automatically reduces your risk as you near retirement. This way, you can take advantage of opportunities for higher returns in your earlier years while you are building your wealth. Over time, it will move towards more safety and lower volatility for when you will start using the investments. Learn more about the investment funds here.
