RRSP season is here. Our most recent Edward Jones survey looks at how Canadians are thinking about the ways in which they invest - and, ultimately, if an RRSP is right for them.

Everyone is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. If you're not already having these conversations about what’s right for you ...with your advisor, it’s never too late to start! DM me and I'd be happy to offer you a second opinion -- a fresh look -- with no commitment. You can read more about the study here [EDJ2021].
