SELF-DIRECTED RRSP/TFSA

A self-directed RRSP/TFSA account is held outside of a bank or credit union.

This is not a brokerage account where investors can buy and sell stocks on platforms such as RBC Direct Investing, CIBC Investor's Edge, TD Direct Investing, Scotia iTrade, or BMO InvestorLine.

A self-directed account enables eligible investors and accredited investors to invest in a greater range of investment products such as exempt market securities, syndicated mortgages, mortgage investment corporation shares, and private mutual fund trust units such as the OCMI Mutual Fund Trust.
