Many investors with multiple accounts, like an RRSP, TFSA, and non-registered account, may be leaving money on the table without realizing it.
That’s because most people focus only on asset allocation, what they own, and miss an important opportunity around asset location, where those investments are held.
It’s not just what you invest in. It’s where your investments live.
Different investments are taxed in different ways. Interest income from things like bonds and GICs is fully taxable, while stocks may generate capital gains and dividends that receive more favourable tax treatment. Asset location is about matching those investments to the right account types to maximize your after-tax return.
For example, more tax efficient investments may make sense in non-registered accounts, while investments that generate taxable interest are often better suited to registered or tax-sheltered accounts like an RRSP or TFSA.
