Manage your retirement income

When you were working, your employer paid you a regular salary, provided you with a group health insurance plan and contributed to your pension fund.

Now that you're retired, it's now up to you. You are the one who must make the decisions regarding:

• how to manage your income
• life and health insurance
• the transfer of your assets to your heirs

Luckily for you, the Desjardins Vision-Retirement service is there to help you with suggestions for all of your needs upon retirement.

Where to start
