I would look at SRS as a long-term investing account, not just a tax-saving tool.
The tax relief is attractive, but the real benefit comes from investing the money for many years.
The biggest question is liquidity. If you may need the money before retirement, contributing too much could become uncomfortable.
For a 10–20 year horizon, diversification may be more important than chasing the highest dividend.
Keeping everything in SRS cash protects capital but may reduce long-term growth potential.
Higher returns always come with higher risk, so the investment should match your risk tolerance.
Bottom line:
The key question is not “How much tax can I save?” but “Can I comfortably lock up this money and invest it for the long term?” If yes, SRS can become a powerful retirement-building tool.
