2 CRM2 Answering your questions about new investment industry regulations coming into effect Providing investors with greater transparency about the cost and performance of their accounts is the driving force behind new industry-wide regulations, known as the Client Relationship Model II (CRM2). What is CRM2? New industry-wide regulations that improve how the financial industry reports and discloses information to investors Changes are now being phased in, with full implementation at RBC Dominion Securities by early It includes two new reports: (1) account costs and (2) account performance. Applies to all investment dealers and advisors in Canada, including: Investment dealers regulated by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), such as RBC Dominion Securities o Firms regulated by the Mutual Fund Dealers Association (MFDA), such as the respective mutual fund distributor of each of the major banks o Investment counselling firms regulated by provincial securities commissions in Canada To provide investors more details on the fees and performance of their investment accounts To improve investors ability to assess how they are progressing towards their financial goals How will CRM2 affect you? CRM2 does not change the amount you are paying your investment firm; it only provides more detail to you about your account fees and performance. All investors will receive more specific details on the cost and performance of their investments via: Conversations with their investment advisors More details on existing account statements and confirmations Two new annual reports you will receive starting in 2017 for all investment accounts: An Annual Charges and Compensation Report, showing a detailed list of account fees An annual Investment Performance Report to provide details on how the account is performing using a moneyweighted rate of return Why is CRM2 being implemented? CRM2 is part of a global shift towards increased disclosure and transparency in the investment industry Speak with Jim or Allan if you have any questions
3 RSP Quick Tips Quick tip #1 contribute early to maximize your RRSP You have until Wednesday, March 1, 2017 to make your 2016 RRSP contribution. But remember to contribute early to avoid the last minute rush. Contributing early can also boost your RRSP s growth over time, as your RRSP assets will have more time to benefit from tax deferred compound growth. Determining your available contribution room for 2016: Start with 18% of your 2015 earned income, or $25,370 (whichever is less). Subtract any Pension Adjustment appearing on your 2015 T4 tax slip. Add any unused RRSP contribution room carried forward from previous years. You can also check your latest Notice of Assessment, Notice of Reassessment or RRSP Deduction Limit Statement (Form T1028), or log on to your Canada Revenue Agency account at You can start making RRSP contributions for the 2017 tax year as early as January 1, 2017 (March 1, 2018 is the deadline). The contribution limit is rising to $26,010 for Quick tip #3 make the most of your RRSP choices With a RRSP held at a full-service wealth management firm at RBC, you can invest in a wide range of investments, from T-bills, GICs and bonds to equities, mutual funds and select risk management solutions. This gives you greater control over how your RRSP is managed. Consider global diversification to potentially reduce risk. There is no limit on the amount of foreign content you can hold in your RRSP (including U.S. securities). This helps you to diversify, which is a proven risk-reduction strategy. Quick tip #4 remember the final contributions You can contribute to your own RRSP until December 31 of the year you turn 71, at which time your RRSP must be converted into a retirement income source such as a RRIF. If you have a younger spouse and are still earning income, you can continue contributing to their spousal RRSP until they turn 71. The bonus contribution - You can make a cumulative lifetime excess contribution of $2,000 without penalty over the life of your RRSP. After that, there is a 1% per month penalty on any amount you over contribute. Quick tip #2 maximize the tax advantages You can claim your 2016 RRSP contribution as a deduction on your 2016 Income Tax Return to reduce your taxable income and potentially receive a tax refund. It may make sense to wait to claim the deduction if you expect your taxable income to be higher in a future year, as you may receive greater tax savings. You can also claim deductions for contributions made in any previous year since 1991 if you have not claimed them previously. Speak with Jim or Allan to discuss your options
