• Stephen Cheng, our Managing Director and Senior Consulting Actuary, presented at the B.C. Medical Association Annual General Meeting on June 12, 2010 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver on the subject of Individual Pension Plan (IPP). For a copy of the Power-point presentation slides, please click here.

  Individual Pension Plan (IPP) is the most tax-efficient and tax-effective strategy for business owners and incorporated professionals to achieve their pension and retirement savings objectives through their corporation. As illustrated in the case study near the end of the IPP presentation at the BCMA AGM, an individual who established three years ago as at January 1, 2007 with full past service recognition for the years 1991 to 2006 would have $747,000 more of registered plan assets under the IPP strategy as compared to an RRSP-only strategy for retirement savings.
