Ah retirement...as the song goes, so close, yet so far away, right?

Too many of us live in the beautiful (or crazy busy!) moment but forget about the long term, assuming it will just…work itself out. (Uh oh.)

Here’s the thing, you need a retirement plan that gets you in the game now. A retirement plan that protects your assets when markets drop, helps lock in gains when markets are up, and guarantees you a lifetime of income no matter how the market performs.

(Guess what? It actually exists!)

We were pretty pumped when we heard about the Ideal Income Series from The Standard Life Assurance Company of Canada, the latest enhancement to their Ideal Segregated Funds – Signature Series. Yep, whether you are saving for retirement, approaching retirement or already retired, their Signature Series family is an ideal choice to help protect and grow your assets.

But why Segregated Funds? Well, they’re sort of like supercharged/superhero(ine) funds, with unique, unbeatable features that can help you achieve your financial goals... growth potential estate planning opportunities potential for guaranteed income* flexibility sense of security

Ah ha! That security one sticks out. With Canadians living longer (and women in particular), there is a higher chance you could outlive your assets. The Signature Series thus helps by protecting capital, providing lifetime income* and allowing you to maintain control of your assets.

It can be part of a plan that makes sure you grow your savings, manage risk, and don’t outlive your money.

All in all, it can make your retirement better...starting now. We like the sound of that.

To find out more about Standard Life’s Ideal Segregated Funds – Signature Series, consult their website or speak to your advisor. (Don’t have an advisor? They can help you with that too.)
