That's a trick question since there's only one fully SRS qualified annuity: Manulife's single life annuity. It's the only one that can extend the tax advantaged SRS withdrawal period beyond 10 sequential calendar years, an important feature if you have a large or larger SRS account balance and then struggle to keep annual withdrawals within the 0% tax bracket (or at least within a lower tax bracket). Manulife alone can help solve that tax reduction challenge, if you have it.

There are other annuities currently available, some not for life, that can be funded using SRS dollars. However, none of those other annuities allow you to stretch the tax advantaged withdrawal period beyond 10 sequential calendar years. At the end of the 10th calendar year, counted from the date of first qualified withdrawal (whether or not you actually took any more withdrawals), the entire remaining SRS account balance (plus any remaining non-fully qualified annuity flow) is "deemed withdrawn" then tax assessed on that deemed withdrawn amount. Manulife's single life annuity is the sole exception.

You mean RetireReady can get around the 10 year withdrawal issue ?
