Why invest in non-registered savings?

You have contributed the maximum amount you can to an RRSP and/or TFSA.

Registered plans such as RRSPs make it possible to benefit from tax breaks that non-registered savings don't offer. However, if you've reached your RRSP and/or TFSA contribution limit, non-registered products can be an interesting option to save for a project or to supplement your retirement savings.
