YOUR 1993 RRSP AN
WHAT TO DO WITH IT

Every year since 1980 we have taken it upon ourselves to prepare a list of recom-
mendations we think are the most appropriate for your RASP. This year is no excep-
tion. We have made adjustments for the times. For example we have overweighted
“equity” vehicles and we would use the “foreign content’ rules to their limit. Our-1993
RRSP Kit includes all of the following: “

1 ) Our premier Mutual Fund choices which include 4 Canadian Equity Funds, 4
Canadian Balanced Funds and 4 Foreign Equity Funds.

2) _ If you prefer stocks to Mutual Funds we have prepared a short list of 5 which
we believe will do well. Many think that capital gains should be confined to non-
RRSP accounts. It seems to us that growth of your RASP, by whatever means,
is also important.

Some investors prefer “Guarantees” in their RRSP. This section of our RRSP.
Kit details the best of the “guaranteed” options.

The RASP tules. In January 1991 new guidelines were established for RRSP
contribution limits — mostly for the better. Some of the regulations are still
confusing some investors. We think that our report entilled “The New RRSP °
Rutes” answers all those questions.

We sense that having just one Self. Administered t RASP all under one root is
gaining acceptance with investors. It’s cheap, it's efficient, it can include all
RRSP eligible items from GIC’s io Mutual Funds to Stocks to 18% Foreign
Content (20% on Jan. 1/94.) in our Kit we discuss the merits of having your
own Self-Administered Plan.

For your “1993 RASP Kit” please call 844-5380 or 1-800-663-0706 (B.C. Toll-free) or
