Your step-by-step enrolment guide Follow these steps to enrol online in PuroPension, your new retirement and savings plan with Sun Life Financial
Purolator is committed to ensuring you have a retirement and savings plan that supports your retirement and savings goals. You will need to complete your enrolment online to ensure your contributions are invested according to your preferences and tolerance for risk, and to designate your beneficiary. If you do not take any action, your assets will be directed to your plan s default fund, the BlackRock LifePath Index Segregated Fund with a target date closest to, without passing, the year you turn 65. This may not be the right choice for you; you will be responsible for moving these assets to your desired investment option(s) once your assets have been transferred to Sun Life Financial.

Step 8 Automatic asset mix re-balance At the bottom of the fund selection page for each product, you will find the automatic asset mix re-balancing feature. As markets go through various cycles, the allocation of your investments may shift from the balance that you have chosen. The re-balancing option adjusts your investment selections quarterly back to the allocation you last selected. For example, say you have actively elected to have 50% of your contributions put into the PH&N Bond Segregated Fund (Bonds) and 50% to the Jarislowsky Fraser Canadian Equity Segregated Fund (Stocks). Let s assume that equities (Jarislowsky) produce a higher rate of return than bonds (PH&N). As a result, the allocation of the portfolio has changed to 60% equities and 40% bonds. The re-balancing option, if activated, would automatically move funds from equities (Jarislowsky) to bonds (PH&N) to achieve the 50-50 split that you previously selected. To proceed to the next step, please check either Yes to activate this feature, or No if you do not wish to activate automatic re-balancing. Note: You can turn this feature on or off at any time once you ve enrolled. Sign in to mysunlife.ca/purolator using your access ID and password. From the Home page, select my financial centre, > Requests > Change investments > Update under Automatic asset mix re-balance. Online enrolment 7 Purolator
