An investment account allows investors to invest unlimited amounts of money in a non-registered account. Investment accounts are not tax sheltered. Investment accounts offer many benefits to you as an investor:

  • There are no restrictions on the foreign content that can be contained in the plan
  • You can invest for a short or long-term period and potentially receive a higher rate of return compared to leaving the money in the bank

Administrative information

  • You must complete an investment application
  • Your financial advisor will take care of all the administration to set up an investment account

Special information

  • You are taxed on the distributions from the funds you hold in your investment account
