RRIF: Registered retirement income funds
RRIFs are created when the capital accrued in an RRSP is converted into retirement income.
Key features of an RRIF
An RRSP must be converted into an RRIF (or LIF) in the year that its owner turns 71, otherwise the RRSP will be wound up and be taxable at its full value in that year.
Investments can grow tax-free until withdrawal. The amounts you take out of the fund will be added to your annual income.
A minimum amount that varies with age must be withdrawn from an RRIF each year (see below).
