Investing at Vanguard Canada
« on: January 17, 2019, 12:03:36 PM »
I'm trying to invest some of my money with Vanguard Canada in the S&P 500.  From my understanding, you need to use an Online Brokerage.  Does anyone have any experience with this and/or recommendations on what Online Brokerage to use? Particularly in regards to fees etc. 
I was considering using QTrade, but I'm just looking for input on this as I'm new to all of this.

Questrade is good, free, simple. They are good enough, I think. CIBC's Investor's Edge is ok, $7 a trade.

Questrade is free for buying ETFs, at least. You have to be careful that you are buying with the right currency as their markup for foreign exchange is bad, but can be circumvented.

I've always heard positive things about Questrade. I use Scotia iTrade and that has worked well for me (and others I know).

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
