What Is an RESP?
A registered education savings plan (RESP) is an investment vehicle specifically designed to help people save for a child’s post-secondary education. RESPs offer a host of advantages. Not only do your savings grow tax-free, but RESPs are also the only financial product eligible for education savings grants! What’s more, anyone—parents, grandparents, relatives, and even family friends—can open a plan to save for the education of a child they love!

A Program Tailored to Your Needs
Since every organization is different, the RESP Corporate Program offers several options to help you find the perfect fit for your company and employees or members.
Being progressive doesn’t have to be expensive! The key is to invest in what matters most: the well-being of your employees and their loved ones.
