37: Tontines! Part 1: Canada’s Latest Retirement Innovation

Today, Caleb and Riley are talking about a brand new innovative retirement product that has hit the market. Canada's rollout of the “Tontine!” For North America it is a product that is exclusively available for Canadians. This is exciting because anything we can do to out do our American neighbours to the South is a win in our books. It's also exciting because it was developed to specifically address an area that is near and dear to our hearts, a problem coined as “the retirement dilemma”. Learn more about:

• Canada’s new innovative retirement solutions to address todays ‘retirement dilemma’.
• A basic understanding of what a tontine is and how it works and why it could be an important product for retirees.
• What others are saying about these products and the risks and concerns that should be considered.

Memorable Quotes:

• “When it comes to the ‘retirement dilemma’, guard rails solves this from a financial planning perspective. Tontines however offers a solution from an investment product perspective.“
• “In Canada today people are living longer then ever before...the number of Canadians aged 85 or older has actually doubled since 2001 and researchers have said it could triple by 2046.“
