Join BMO investing experts on February 15th at 11 a.m. as they provide insights on how to manage investments within an RRSP and share their market and sector outlook
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 15, 2013) - According to a BMO Financial Group Study, 74 per cent of Canadians have already made, or plan to make, a contribution towards their Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) before the March 1st deadline. However, making a contribution is just the first step in helping ensure a well-funded retirement. How those funds are invested within the RRSP is equally important in helping set oneself up for retirement success.
