Get a 1% Bonus* when you invest in The Streetwise Funds in your RSP or TFSA.
The Streetwise Funds® are mutual funds with a powerful index-based investment strategy that is designed for long-term growth potential. They’re ideal for your Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) or Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA).
Your retirement savings can grow over time without the need to worry about it.
The Funds use the strategy of investing in the whole market rather than betting on individual stocks. Experts agree, it’s the way to go, as the markets have historically outperformed 80% of most actively managed funds over the long term.
Of course, past performance is no guarantee of what will happen in the future, but if you’re looking for a low-stress way to achieve greater growth potential, The Streetwise Funds could be right for you.

RSP Fast Facts
- The RSP deadline is February 29, 2012.
- Your money grows tax-free as long as it remains in your RSP, so you can grow your retirement savings.
- Contributions are fully tax-deductible.

TFSA Fast Facts
- You can have more than one TFSA, and TFSAs with several banks are allowed, but your total annual contributions between all of these accounts needs to be $5,000 or less.
- You have a wide array of savings and investment options for your TFSA, including savings accounts, GICs and mutual funds.
- You can contribute up to $5,000 per year, and this amount can be carried over into future years, if you don't make the maximum contribution.
- You can withdraw funds, and then re-deposit that amount the following year, in addition to your annual $5,000 limit.
- Remember that your savings grow tax-free in your TFSA, but your contributions can't be deducted from your taxable income the way they can be for an RSP.
