A Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) provides an income at retirement. Although you may set up a RRIF at any age, it is mandatory at age 71 when you must convert a maturing RRSP.

A RRIF provides you with a regular stream of income, subject to a minimum annual amount, from the funds accumulated in your RRSP or registered pension plan. One of the benefits is that you’re able to minimize taxes by spreading your RRIF income over a number of years. In addition, the money that remains in your RRIF continues to grow tax-sheltered – just as it did in your RRSP.
