For the past 15 years, we have helped bring down the cost of investing to the tune of $200 million in savings passed on to Canadian investors through our fee reductions. 

We focus on creating value for our clients, not extracting value from them. Every dollar saved in fees is a dollar that stays in an investor’s pocket. And that compounds over time. That’s why we’re excited to announce another significant reduction in our investment fees.

Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Lower Fees: We’ve cut the fees on one quarter of our lineup of ETFs and Mutual Funds, ensuring that more of your money stays in your pocket. This reduction applies to both new and existing customers, so everyone benefits.

  2. Immediate Impact: The changes take effect immediately, so you can start enjoying the savings right away. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been with us for years, this reduction will make a difference.

  3. Why now? We’re constantly evaluating our pricing and leveraging our global scale to drive operational efficiencies. These efficiencies allow us to reduce costs and pass the savings on to our investors, ensuring that you benefit from our ongoing commitment to lower the cost of investing.

Our latest fee reduction means that you can now invest in these high-quality products at even lower costs, making it easier than ever to build your portfolio.
