Why invest your SRS funds
01
tax savings
Lower your taxable income when you contribute to your SRS; SRS contributions are tax-deductible and can bring about significant tax savings.
02
beat inflation
Inflation reduces the value of money, meaning that the same amount will buy you less in the future, and investing your SRS funds can help you to keep up with inflation.
03
Potential for Higher Returns
Investing your SRS funds a diversified portfolio, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, can potentially yield higher returns compared to leaving your funds in a low-interest account.
04
flexibility
Your SRS funds can be invested in a variety of instruments including our Core Equity100, Income+, and Cash+ Flexi portfolios. This allows you to tailor your investment strategy based on your risk tolerance and financial goals.
