Consider the 1-2-3 impact of a Group Retirement Savings Plan for your employees

FINANCIAL SECURITY & PEACE OF MIND

• Most Canadians worry about their retirement savings and struggle to save. An employer that delivers on these two concerns lowers the collective stress of its workforce.
• Employers rest with the knowledge that long-term employees can retire well and at a healthier age.

HIGHER ACCOUNT BALANCES

• Low management fees lead to higher savings growth. These plans offer employees much lower investment management fees than they can obtain on their own.
• Employer matching automatically boosts the rate of return on employee contributions.

IT MAY NOT COST AS MUCH AS YOU MIGHT THINK

• Can cost as little as adding 2% to your payroll.
• Attracts less payroll taxes than other forms of compensation.
• By building in vesting rules, you lower the cost of turnover and increase the incentive for employees to stay.

For the employee, the ability to save income-tax at source lessens the impact of retirement contributions on cash-flow.

**When sourcing a provider, a cost-savings can be achieved by combining it with your group insurance program.
