ETFs for Steady Retirement Income
Harvest Equity Income ETFs, Enhanced Income ETFs, Fixed Income ETFs, and Multi-Asset ETFs are built to deliver consistent monthly retirement income to bridge the retirement income gap. These ETFs use a call option strategy to generate income from a portfolio of stocks or fixed income securities. They can be held in RRSP or RRIF accounts and the income they pay can offset mandatory RRIF withdrawals. They pay high income yields and fill a need for retirement income not fully met by bonds, GICs, and government benefits like CPP. These are simple, consistent, high-yield solutions for retirement income.
