Definition: In Canada a registered retirement income fund or RRIF is established by a financial institution to provide retirement income to an individual. A RRIF is set up by directly transferring money from registered retirement savings plans or registered pension plans. Each year the RRIF holder must withdraw a set portion of the money in the fund and pay tax on it.
