Are Investment Fees Draining Your Wallet?

Canadians are paying some of the highest investment management fees in the world, and these fees can have a massive impact on the ability of your portfolio to grow. With a whopping $1.68 trillion held in mutual funds, Big Banks and Mutual Fund Dealers are making big bucks on your investments. It's time to take control of your finances and start thinking about the long-term impact of these fees on your portfolio's growth.

Did you know that a 1% reduction in management fees on a $100,000 portfolio can make a difference of up to $100,000 in portfolio value over the life of your retirement plan? Fees matter more than you might think.

But don't worry, there are solutions.
