  As a physician, building long-term financial security can become more complex as your career and incorporated practice grow. An Individual Pension Plan (IPP) may offer incorporated physicians an additional way to build retirement savings while creating potential tax advantages for their professional corporation.

  Join MMAC for an informative session exploring Individual Pension Plans and how they may fit into the financial planning strategies of Muslim physicians in Canada.

  What We'll Cover:

  • Retirement planning options available to incorporated physicians and professionals
  • How an Individual Pension Plan (IPP) works and how it compares with an RRSP
  • IPPs versus investing directly within a professional corporation
  • Potential tax deductions and tax-planning opportunities available through pension plans
  • Pension plan features that can help optimize long-term retirement savings
  • How retirement strategies can be tailored to physicians with high incomes, delayed savings, and practice-related assets
  • How Sharia-compliant investing can be incorporated into an IPP and broader retirement strategy
  • Building a retirement and wealth strategy that aligns with both financial goals and Islamic values
  • Live Q&A with our speakers    

  
  

  Speakers: 

  Siddiq Mohamed - Advisor Team Manager, ShariaPortfolio Canada.

  Jean-Pierre Laporte - Chief Executive Officer, Integris Pension Management Corp.
