About This Course

The traditional concept of retirement—leaving work at 65 with a defined benefit pension and sufficient government support—is disappearing for most Canadians. With fewer employer pensions, potential government benefit changes, and financial market uncertainties, retirees must increasingly rely on personal savings and effective financial management.

This course explores retirement income sources and strategies, helping advisors guide clients through the complexities of generating stable income across different retirement phases.

Key Learning Areas:

  • Determining Retirement Income Needs & Managing Assets
  • Portfolio Allocation & Diversification Strategies
  • Retirement Risks & Income Survival Strategies
  • Government & Employment-Based Retirement Benefits (CPP, OAS, GIS, Defined Benefit Plans)
  • Annuities, RRIFs, and Efficient Withdrawal Strategies
  • Investment & Tax-Efficient Income Strategies (dividends, bonds, systematic withdrawal plans)
  • Home Equity Income Options (reverse mortgages)
  • Comparing RRSPs & TFSAs for Retirement Planning
  • Safe Withdrawal Rate Strategies

By completing this course, financial advisors will be equipped to help seniors navigate retirement planning, optimize income streams, and manage risks to ensure financial stability in later life.
