Maximizing Your Investments
To make it easier to invest sooner, a Pre-Authorized Contribution
(PAC) allows you to start investing right away for as little as $50
a month. You can conveniently deduct your investment from your FirstOntario
account weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, every 6 months or annually. Simply
choose the frequency that is best for you.
Based on a return of 5%, you can see just how quickly this can add
