Account Options
Before you pick which investment products you want in your accounts, you need to know what kinds of account options are available. Most of the investment products — GICs, term deposits, savings accounts, mutual funds*, and more — can go in each of these types of accounts.

Save for retirement, while getting a tax break today
Money grows, tax-sheltered
Normally taxed as income when withdrawn, but you may be able to use funds to buy a home or go to school, with no tax payable today
Personal Savings
Non-registered, potentially taxable, accounts
Can be opened in one name or joint with another person

Products
The trick is to know which investment product to choose for which type of account. Each account has its own rules and tax treatment. It can get a little murky sometimes, even to experienced investors — just one more reason to work with a Libro Coach to pick the best investment type for your goals.
