What is a RESP?
RESPs are tax-advantaged accounts designed to help Canadians save for higher education. RESP funds can be invested in countless ways and if they are spent on higher-education related tuition or expenses, no investment gains in the account will be subject to income taxes.**

What makes a RESP Halal?
A RESP is just an account with some tax rules around it. It is how the money that is deposited into this account gets invested that will make it Halal or not. The focus here should not be the account type but the underlying investments. As long as that cash is being used to buy Shariah-compliant investments, such as the OneVest Halal Portfolios, then your investment is Halal.**

01
Free government money
The federal government adds to RESP savings each year through the Canada Education Savings Grant. They will match 20% of the annual contribution, up to a lifetime maximum of $7,200 per child.
02
RESP savings grow tax-free
No taxes are paid on any investment earnings as long as they stay in the RESP account. That means that savings can grow faster.
03
Avoid interest based student loans
The money that is put in a RESP account gets invested into the Halal Portfolios to save for the child’s education. This will help the child avoid interest-based student loans in the future.
04
Friends and family can contribute
Anyone can set up an individual RESP for a child – not just the parent. A child’s RESP can grow more quickly with contributions from friends and family.
