Max out your RRSP contribution room with a Take Ten RRSP Loan and see how much you can get back in your pocket.
More often than not, Canadians do not make their maximum RRSP contribution each year. Over time, their unused room accumulates. To best utilize this unused room, your Credit Union offers the Take 10 RRSP Loan.
Using the Take 10 RRSP Loan, you can make a lump sum investment into your RRSP now, and take up to 10 years to pay it off. This means your investment will have the most time to grow while you’re paying it off, putting the power of compounding interest to work for you.
Features of the Take 10 RRSP Loan
- Terms from 12 months to 10 years available
- Invest in any RRSP product including Term Investment, Index Linked, or Mutual Funds**
- Minimum payment of $100/month required
- Flexible repayment options
- Funds can only be used towards a RRSP investment with the issuing Credit Union
Borrowing to invest in your RRSP with the Take 10 RRSP Loan is similar to a monthly savings plan in reverse. You still make a monthly payment, just like a monthly savings plan, with the benefit of a lump sum investment earning interest from day 1.
Comparing a lump sum investment to annual contributions of the same principal amount, you can earn 12% more at the current 5 year investment rates. This is a result of your entire lump sum earning the interest from the beginning, versus only the accumulated payments earning interest at any given year.
On the other hand, unlike a monthly savings plan, a portion of your monthly payment goes towards interest on the loan. At the end of your term and even though you we’re paying interest on a loan during the entire term, your investment’s earned interest will be greater than your loan’s total interest, resulting in a net benefit to you.
