LIRA – Locked-In Retirement Account
If you leave or lose your job, a LIRA allows you to transfer the funds accumulated under a retirement savings plan or your ex-employer’s pension plan to an individual plan. With the help of a financial advisor, you can put this money into investment funds and enjoy greater control over your investments.
Characteristics and advantages of a LIRA:
- Your savings grow tax-free.
- You may not contribute nor withdraw money invested in a LIRA except under certain conditions.
- Upon retirement or, at the latest, the year you turn 71 years of age, you must convert your LIRA to a Life Income Fund (LIF).
