Description

Portfolio manager Matt Ardrey demystifies the RRSP-to-RRIF conversion: when it must happen, how minimum withdrawals are calculated, and ways to avoid common pitfalls like OAS clawback and large end-of-life tax bills. He covers in-kind transfers (to fund a TFSA or non-registered account without selling), coordinating multiple RRIFs, and building a portfolio that reliably generates income so you’re not forced to sell at a loss. Practical, Canadian-specific guidance to make decumulation smoother and more tax efficient for the long haul.
