A flexible way to invest

Save as much or as little as you like

No need to worry about minimums, contribution limits, or carry-over. With non-registered accounts, you can keep as much money in the account as you want.

Withdraw without any stipulations

Since there are no conditions on how much you can save or what it’s used for, you can also withdraw any time.

Benefits of a non-registered account

One important note:

Non-registered accounts are great if you’ve already maxed out your TFSA or RRSP — but remember: they’re not tax-sheltered.

So while non-registered accounts offer a ton of flexibility without many limits, you’ll need to pay taxes on your growth.

Depending on your financial situation, you may want to consider a TFSA or RRSP.

Unlimited room

There’s no cap on how much you can save or grow with a non-registered account.

Individual or joint

Save on your own, or combine your non-registered account with a spouse or common-law partner.

Suitable for all timelines

Since there’s no expiry on non-registered accounts, you have the flexibility to invest for the long or short-term — whatever works for your goals.
