Are traditional Canadian retirement planning strategies (RRSP, TFSA, RIF, ect) setting you up for success—or failure? What if the research shows that strategy isn’t enough—and that a smarter, more resilient asset mix could ensure a stable, worry-free retirement?

Many investors rely on the classic stock-and-bond investment portfolio, believing it's the safest way to ensure a stable retirement. However, market volatility, inflation, and economic downturns can leave even the most disciplined savers vulnerable. When the market crashes, emotions take over, and many investors make costly mistakes—selling low, hesitating to buy, or failing to adapt to changing financial conditions.

But what if you could create a Canadian retirement plan that minimizes risk while optimizing returns? This episode explores Ernst & Young’s research on integrating insurance products into retirement planning and why the traditional "buy term and invest the rest" strategy may not be the most effective path to financial security.

You’ll learn: 

• Discover why permanent life insurance can act as a volatility buffer, protecting your investments from market downturns.
• Learn how combining high early cash value whole life insurance with investments can outperform traditional stock-and-bond-only portfolios.
• Explore strategies to maximize retirement income while preserving a greater financial legacy for your heirs.

Tune in now to uncover the research-backed strategies that can help you build a more resilient retirement plan—one that stands strong no matter what the markets do.
