As a responsible employer and corporate citizen, Kaleido makes it a priority to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees, its representatives in the field, and of families like yours. We sincerely hope that you and your loved ones are healthy, safe and in good spirits.
Faced with this serious situation, Kaleido quickly implemented preventive measures at the head office and within our distribution network. These will ensure we continue to offer quality service to our clients while protecting the general population and respecting government directives.
Here’s how Kaleido is doing its part

Your RESP with Kaleido is a capital-guaranteed investment. Concretely, this means you recover all the contributions you invested at plan maturity, regardless of market conditions.1 The grant amounts received from the government are also protected and your child will receive these funds in full once enrolled in post-secondary studies, according to the regular terms and conditions of your RESP. Rest assured that, despite the current turmoil, Kaleido RESPs remain a safe investment.
