Self-Administered Accounts

RRSP | RIF | LIRA | LIF & TFSA

Western Pacific Trust Company works closely with Private Issuers and their Investors to facilitate capital raising and investment in the private capital markets.

As trustee for registered plans and TFSAs holding exempt market products, WPTC ensures that close attention is paid to every aspect of the process, from the review of the investment for acceptance into its plans, through the account opening, transfer and/or contribution process, to the maintenance of plans, and ongoing support of issuers and investors.

At WPTC, we understand the frustrations that too often result from dealing with large, faceless financial institutions, and pride ourselves on the personal, responsive and knowledgeable service provided to our clients and business partners, all at competitive rates. (WPTC Fee Schedule)
