RDSP-E-C-T: Find out More About the RDSP
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/31/11 -- BMO Financial Group today encouraged Canadians to learn more about the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP).
"The RDSP is a fantastic savings vehicle, introduced by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, which helps families manage the financial costs associated with having, or caring for someone, with a severe disability," said Mark Stewart, Director, Product Development & Management, BMO Investments Inc. "Yet, our research shows that that only one in ten Canadians with a disability, or those with a family member with a disability, are knowledgeable about the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) and its benefits, with nearly half having never heard of it."

"Bank of Montreal, a leader in the field from the beginning... now controls about 50 per cent of the market...The message needs to get out. The RDSP is a great program. Spread the word. Please." - Financial Post, October 26, 2011
