Important Notes

Borrowing to invest in an RRSP may not be appropriate for everyone. Your clients will need the financial means to meet their loan obligations. In addition, investments held in an RRSP may fluctuate in value. Your clients should be aware that, regardless of their RRSP’s performance or value of any investments held in their RRSP, they will be required to meet their loan obligations in full. Please ensure clients read the terms of their loan agreement and the investment details for important information. Manulife Bank of Canada solely acts in the capacity of lender and loan administrator and does not provide investment advice of any nature to individuals or advisors. The dealer and advisor are responsible for determining the appropriateness of investments for their clients and informing them of the risks associated with borrowing to invest.

RRSP Loans are offered through Manulife Bank of Canada.
