Source: RBC GAM. The pie graphs represent the target asset mix of each RBC Target Education Fund along the education savings timeline for 2024. For illustrative purposes only. Target allocation of the Fund may vary in accordance with the targets outlined in the prospectus. Each fund becomes increasingly conservative over time.
By holding RBC Target Education Funds in a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) you could receive a grant of 20% on the first $2,500 you invest each year, up to a life time maximum of $7,200 per child.
Further, growth in an RESP is tax-deferred. In the future, when your child begins to take Educational Assistance Payments from their RESP, they will be taxed as income to your child. And since many students have little or no income, taxes will likely be low. For more details, read our article on RESPs.
