1fubxnl | Hi all
I’m a Canadian currently living abroad, and I’m classified as a non-resident for tax purposes. I want to start investing long-term (something like the S&P 500 or other global ETFs if you can recomend), but I’m unsure about the best way to go about it given my situation. I have alreay looked into investing locally here and it's just not suitbal for foreginers to invest here.
A few questions I have:
1. Can I still use my TD account it (currently only have a checking and savings account with under $500 in them - just to keep the account) to invest, or would this cause any legal/tax issues since I’m not living in Canada?
2. If not TD, what are the best platforms or ways for non-resident Canadians to invest while living abroad?
3. Legality: Are there specific steps I need to take (e.g., informing TD or CRA about my non-resident status) to avoid issues down the road?
4. I’m looking for a long-term, relatively passive investment, ideally something like index funds or ETFs. Any advice on what to look out for to make sure everything is compliant with Canadian tax laws?
I want to avoid any trouble in the future, so I’m hoping someone here might have gone through a similar situation or can offer some guidance on how to start off on the right foot.

1fue4zv | I'd like to invest in Canadian private credit / private equity funds, like Invico DIversified Income Fund or ICM Music Royalties, but in order to do so I must use an Exempt Market Dealer like Rainreef or Equivesto or Liahona Capital or one of many others.
Can someone relay your experience investing through their EMD, such as what value they added or what kind of due-dilligence did they help you with? I have to pay very high fees with these EMDs (like \~8% upfront) in order to get access to private credit/equity, and I just don't see what value they add (aside from KYC, AML, & KYP).
Here was my poor experience with a certain google-able EMD, which I'd like to avoid in the future. Basically our "consultation" with a Dealer Representative was just a sales-pitch, and the Representative's grasp of her own funds was superficial at-best, being able to only rehash the fund bullet-points and past performance. She couldn't (or wouldn't) go over the funds' complex financial statements, nor could she state any of its risks, nor was she aware of the management's strengths and weaknesses. With an 8% fee, I felt very sour about the whole meeting. Since then, the funds have done okay.
Does anyone have a positive experience with a Canadian EMD and explain why? Or, are we just supposed to accept that they take high-fees for hitting the buy-button and facilitating the transaction. Am I being too entitled? | 2 | cocobipbip | 2024-10-02T11:43:39 | null | Which Exempt Market Dealer in Canada for exposure to Private Equity / Private Credit? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1fue4zv/which_exempt_market_dealer_in_canada_for_exposure/ | false | false | false |

1fulxb1 | Heyo,
I have contributed 15000 of my 16000 contribution limit in my FHSA to date, and I want to add in the last 1000, however when I look at the book value in my account I see it recorded at 15103.03. Both my records and a scrub through trade history would indicate it should be a flat 15k, has this happened to anyone else, or what do you think the source of this discrepancy is? (Dividends perhaps??)
Extra info:
At Scotiabank iTrade
All 15k was used to purchase XIU.TO

1fuoecn | Bought VEQT, XEQT, VFV from a friend’s recommendation a few weeks ago. After doing more reading VEQT/XEQT seem very similar. So going forward I’m just going to buy VEQT. Should I sell my 250 shares of XEQT and be all in on VEQT or just leave the 250 XEQT.
Currently have 1000 shares of VEQT. Buying another 1500 today. 23 male- not touching this money for 30+ years.
TLDR - going all in on VEQT, should I sell off XEQT to buy VEQT or just leave the 250 XEQT.
Thanks for all advice, new to this just trying to set myself up the right way.

1fur3fs | Earlier this year, I decided to keep a sizeable amount of cash in CASH.TO as it is risk free and I planned on buying a house in the next 5 years. My TFSA and FHSA and are maxed so I invested the rest in my non-registered account. Looking back, I wish I invested the entirety into XEQT, VEQT or VFV because I don’t think I’ll need to dip into the non-registered account once I’m ready to buy a house. I’ve got enough for a down payment in my WS Cash account which yields roughly the same in interest.
My current dilmemma at this point is:
Do I sell my CASH.TO position, pay capital gains tax in the spring and reinvest in one of the ETFs mentioned above?
Or do I keep my current position as is and just DCA future contributions to above ETF? | 0 | Auraful | 2024-10-02T21:06:53 | null | Regret buying CASH.TO in non-registered | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1fur3fs/regret_buying_cashto_in_nonregistered/ | false | false | false |

1fv8j2s | Hey Folks!
I’m 36 yo. I had my investments into CIBC index funds for around $70k into RRSP and TFSA.
I dont track the performance but it was up by 10 percent.
A friend works as Financial Advisor and i followed his guidance till date.
Fearing the market crash, i have withdrawn my investments into RSP and TFSA Cash accounts.
Need advice from the group on the following.
1. Should I stay in Cash Account until the market drop and re-enter? ( Although noone knows when it will happen)
2. Re-invest into Index funds at CIBC - lump-sum and continue regular investments.
3. Switch out to Wealth simple and invest into ETFs through automatic contributions on bi weekly basis.
Your inputs will be greatly appreciated. I want to invest but wont be able to track whats happening with my investments. I have no plans to use these investments as I have separate 6 months emergency funds in GIC.
Pls advise.

1fvboez | Hi everyone, I put about 20k into cash.to (my first non-reg) is this bad? I don’t really understand what the difference is in the long run if I chosen a non-dividend based ETF..I would end up paying taxes anyway once I sell?
I saw a comment saying that they got burned because of the dividend but now I’m just confused..
If it matters: late 20s, will probably purchase a house in a few years
Thanks in advance!

1fvg4l0 | Hi everyone, the below is my allocation. Note I have already maxed out both RRSP and TFSA. Time horizon is 15-35 years depending on how early I want to retire.
RRSP - convert to USD and buy US-Listed ETFs (no witholding tax).
TFSA - XEC, XEF and Canada-Listed US index ETF. (International ETFs have higher dividend yield, so putting them in non-registered would result in more dividends taxed at marginal rate. Use remaining funds for US ETF)
Non-Registered - Canada and US index ETFs, all denominated in CAD. (Canadian eligible dividends have lower tax rate. Use remaining capital for US index ETFs which have lower dividend yield)
Overall allocation is around 20CA/60US/20Intl. I don't plan on holding bonds for now (also considering switching a portion to a leveraged stock/bond/managed futures mix but that's another story).
1. Hows does the above look?
2. Do you think it even makes sense to keep substantial positions in international? I fully understand the benefits of diversifying internationally. But I'd be paying 0.6%+ (MER + withholding tax) which will add up over time. This makes me want to underweight international even more (never been a big fan anyway).
3. Has anyone opted for the total-swap ETFs from Horizon/GlobalX (e.g HXS, HXDM) to minimize dividends? I know there's regulatory risk if using it in non-registered, but within TFSA it sounds like a decent plan?

1fw1rx1 | If the yield on these covered call ETFs stays in the 9-12% range or so... and the stock price gets slowly (or in some cases not so slowly) eroded... then wouldn't your distribution get smaller? 10% of $50 share price is $5... 10% of an eroded $40 share price is only $4... so do the distributions get smaller assuming yield stays about the same? Or does the yield just forever increase? (Can't see that being the case)
Wouldn't that make these covered call ETFs bad for income for anything but the short term?
A retiree would see their income drop over time if it erodes and stays around the same yield, which is obviously not ideal. | 1 | WhatIsThePointOfBlue | 2024-10-04T15:22:15 | null | Covered call ETF question... | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1fw1rx1/covered_call_etf_question/ | false | false | false |
1fw5zlq | So far I've mostly been investing my long-term savings in VEQT, but as my portfolio has grown, I've become more and more interested in switching to buying the four underlying funds directly (VUN, VCN, VIU, VEE) and periodically rebalancing myself. I calculated that it would reduce the MER by a bit under 0.1%, which would amount to a few hundred grand over the next 30 or 40 years.
Apart from capital gains tax implications, my main concern was that the bid-ask spread might eat up a lot of those gains with the more frequent trading I'd be doing. I expect this would be worse depending on how frequently I rebalanced. The spread on those ETFs is pretty small, but I could see it adding up over time.
Is this spread a major concern? Is there an optimal rebalancing frequency I should use to strike a balance between keeping my allocations close to VEQT and minimizing loss to the bid-ask spread? I'm not sure whether to rebalance annually, quarterly, monthly, weekly, etc. My brokerage doesn't charge transaction fees so that part isn't a concern at least. | 0 | xX_420_NoScopes_Xx | 2024-10-04T18:19:38 | null | Does the bid-ask spread matter if rebalancing a portfolio frequently? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1fw5zlq/does_the_bidask_spread_matter_if_rebalancing_a/ | false | false | false |

One other issue that I have observed since Wednesday is that TD TRP stock charts are incorrect on my end and indicate a jump in price roughly equivalent to the value of a SOBO share, with the historic share price adjusted to reflect the netting off of a SOBO share. Things are all kinds of fucked up, which is frustrating but also says something about TD.

Hey everyone, sorry if these may be basic questions. I’m with TD and hold ETFs in both registered and unregistered accounts.
1) When are MER fees charged? Is this already incorporated into the gains/losses and what you see if what you hey?
2) How does capital gains tax work if you’re not selling all your shares? For example if I have 100 shares of an ETF at $100/share (10k total) and it grows to $120/share. If I chose to sell 50% of my shares, would capital gains tax apply to only 1k, keeping the same proportionality?
3) How quickly can you sell and buy the shares? Is there a penalty within a certain time frame? Or just the $9.99 order too?
4) If I have to make monthly payments for something, is it ever wise to buy an ETFs with the cash laid aside hoping it would grow a bit before selling it again to make the payment deadline a month down the road?

1fxless | **Hi everyone,**
First post here! I’m in a bit of a unique situation (I think?) and would love some advice. I’m currently contributing to an **RBC Group RRSP** because my **employer matches contributions**, but I prefer a **passive investing strategy** and currently hold **XGRO** in Wealthsimple. However, most of the funds available to me at RBC have **high MERs**, and there’s a lack of good ETF options.
**Some key details**:
* Employer matches contributions into the RBC plan, so I need to contribute at least 4% to keep the match.
* RBC charges a transfer-out fee, though they didn’t last time I transferred, but I know they do generally.
* Wealthsimple sometimes covers transfer fees for larger transfers, but I’ll be doing this on a regular (semi-regular) basis.
* I plan to transfer funds **every few months** to minimize the time spent in high-fee RBC funds.
* I’m thinking of using a **low-MER fund** (or a **money market fund**) to temporarily hold funds at RBC until I move them.
**My questions**:
1. Has anyone successfully gotten RBC to waive the transfer-out fee? If so, how did you do it?
2. Has anyone regularly transferred funds to Wealthsimple and had them cover the transfer fee? Should I be looking for **regular promotions**, or is there a standard approach to this?
3. Since I’m staying with RBC to keep the employer match, any advice on **minimizing costs** while holding funds there short-term?
Thanks in advance for any insights or experiences you can share!

1fxmio5 | I want help choosing the best ETFs for my FHSA.
I want to buy a house within the 7-10 years. I opened a FHSA this year and I maximize with $8k. I plan to invest $8k every year until hit the $40k. Within 5 years, I will also invest in my wife’s FHSA.
Considering that, I would like to invest my money in some ETFs to grow and have more money to buy a house. I would like a simple ETF approach, with at most 3 ETFs and I want some ideas of which ETFs to choose.
When it miss only 3 years to buy a house, I will start selling this investment and change to a conservative approach, like investing in CASH ETF or HISA. Right now, I am open to a less conservative approach, to grow even with down in the middle.
What I considered:
- VFV
- VGRO
- XQT
- VWCE
What would you do?
UPDATES: After I maximize the $80k in both FHSA, I plan to continue investing but in a HISA. I also update the timeframe from 5-10 to 7-10 years, and I am willing to wait extra years if something goes wrong. Finally, I also plan to liquidate the money from time to time to make sure I don’t loose. | 2 | Logical-Skin4229 | 2024-10-06T17:58:09 | null | Which ETFs I should choose for FHSA? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1fxmio5/which_etfs_i_should_choose_for_fhsa/ | false | false | false |

We have no near future plans for the money. Hoping to retire from our current careers in 15 years.
Which funds?
What mix (equities+fixed)?
Lump sum or DCA?
Bonus: What would you tell her to make her feel at ease about investing at all.
Edit: I need to clarify. She is ready for equities. She already has GIC, term-deposit, real estate, and me. I guess she finally feels secure.

1fyjiuy | I just transferred my tfsa to a tfsa options and I still don’t understand how TD works on their option trading: In tfsa , you can only - long call , long put, and sell a covered call.
For each of the following scenarios. Please share if my understanding is correct:
A. LONG CALL
If I long a call and at exp it is OTM, TD will auto sell to close it for me.( can it still be sold though ? Very little value remaining)
If I long a call and at exp it is ITM-
1. I got the money - TD auto exercise
2. I got no money - TD tries to sell my option to close (still got intrinsic value)
B. LONG PUT
If I long a put and at exp it is OTM, TD will auto sell to close it for me.( can it still be sold though ? Very little value remaining)
If I long a put and at exp it is ITM-
1. I got the shares - TD auto exercise to sell my shares
2. I got no shares - TD tries to sell my option to close (SO THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL ACCOUNT, WHERE you can sell shares you dont have and buy back?)
C. COVERED CALL
If I sell a covered call and at exp it is not assigned, nothing happens.
If I sell a covered call at exp it is ITM-
1. I got the shares - TD auto exercise to sell my shares
2. I got no shares - not gonna happen as you can only sell covered call | 1 | slaybrownbeast | 2024-10-07T21:42:27 | null | Please help me - tfsa options in TD | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1fyjiuy/please_help_me_tfsa_options_in_td/ | false | false | false |

1fynbco | Hi Reddit, I’m starting to establish my retirement portfolio and I’d like to get your thoughts on what I’m thinking of doing so far.
I’m a professional in my twenties so I think I can be somewhat aggressive. But I still want some dividends funds so the level of risk would be 70/30.
What I’m thinking of doing is this:
Equities: XEQT(17.5%), VUN (28%), VIU (17.5%), VEE (7%)
Cash/Bonds: CASH, BOND, IPPP (10% each)

1fyq9u2 | I have a side gig that I can fairly consistently earn at least 100 USD/day. Since it is a side gig, I don’t initially pay tax on it so I set aside about 45% for taxes (I make a bit over $150k/year on my career job).
My goal is to max out my TFSA and RRSP in the next few years. I have about $180k of RRSP room and have $85k of TFSA room.
I have been only been contributing to my TFSA with this money (my main job company has an RRSP match I’ve been doing for years).
It is money I won’t need to touch for awhile so just investing in S&P500 index funds and putting the tax portion in cash.to.
I’ve been trying to optimize the strategy, and I don’t know if I should focus on RRSP or TFSA. Since there’s no tax taken off, the RRSP contributions can climb more quickly since I’ll be claiming the contributions this year. But one thing I’m not sure about is which one to focus on first. Since they’re both effectively the same fund (I’m keeping my RRSP in USD so doing VOO instead of VFV), is it really down to personal preference or is it better to focus on one or the other? | 4 | tehclubbmaster | 2024-10-08T03:10:07 | null | Side gig investment, strategy discussion | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1fyq9u2/side_gig_investment_strategy_discussion/ | false | false | false |

1fz8lny | Hello all. Im looking for a community or network, and willing to pay to join, to help connect me with angel or start up investors.
My company has passed all the needed hoops and regulations in order to commence operations. It is a FinTech company, licensed, bonded in Alberta and has compliance approved by the bank (which was a 10 month process since the company is a MSB - Money Service Business).
As Christmas is just a few weeks away, Im looking to secure additional (to what I currently have) funding and take advantage of the season.
Im also looking to connect with business mentors and business partners as well, and who is willing to work on the business with me on a full time basis. Please note that as this is a startup, it will not pay a wage or dividend but I am absolutely open minded to give equity/share of the company depending on the experience and skill set brought to the business.
The company has a physical office/store front retail space.
Any directions or recommendations would be great.

1fz9xdl | Hello, I've been DIY investing (for retirement) with QT for about two years now. When I first opened an account it was a self-directed TFSA because I made below $55K at that time. I had recently learned about asset allocation ETFs and invested in VGRO (80/20).
When I got a higher paying job, I opened a self-directed RSP and, having read about Warren Buffet's 90/10 investment strategy, I purchased VOO and VSB on a monthly basis and stopped contributing to my TFSA.
I am now planning to transfer my TFSA money into my RSP. Before I do so, I have a few noob questions. The QT chatbox keeps refreshing and losing our conversation so I'm bringing them here:
1. If I move the money from my TFSA, does the allocation (80/20) transfer over or just the money?
2. If, after consolidating these funds, I decide to lower my 90/10 risk tolerance to 80/20 (for example, transfer everything from VOO and VSB to VGRO), how do I do that?
3. As someone who is currently only buying and holding with a 30-35 years investment horizon, does it make sense for me to stay with QT or should I consider other options? I've seen a lot of love for IBKR lately but am not sure it makes sense for me to leave since I'm not stock picking.

1fzh2yd | I've recently just got married, and now my wife and I have a joint income we want to plan out to invest for the future. In terms of goals, in the next 5 years we'd like to buy our own house.
Currently, we have \~35k that we can invest. For current monthly finances, once all expenses are deducted, we're left with approximately $500 to invest and $2000 we're setting aside to save up for downpayment. Also for context, my income is \~140k a year before taxes.
In the past year, I've Dollar Cost Averaged on a per month basis and invested in XEQT.to, XQQ.to, VFV.to, which has been quite a good plan thus far.
Now, from work I have an RRSP which matches by contribution. I want to get advice on how I should move forward so I can save taxes, invest, and also plan for our house.
Should I open an RRSP? FHSA? what should be by strategy in contributing towards it.

1fzl20q | 31M after much research, I have decided to take investing serious. I intend to setup recurring purchase of Xeqt at $50 every day
Is there any drawbacks to this? Wealthsimple doesn’t charge to buy so that concern is taken care of.

1fzsg4y | Hey this might be a question that is too dumb for life but I'm curious.
From what I understand these types of stocks essentially just operate as high yield savings account albeit increasing roughly the same each month before dropping back to the baseline again and paying dividends.
My question is could I theoretically sell each time before the drop and then just rebuy to maximize yield or is it too much work for it to ever be worth it. | 0 | Calhob42 | 2024-10-09T14:15:55 | null | Cbil/Cash.TO reinvestment plan question | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1fzsg4y/cbilcashto_reinvestment_plan_question/ | false | false | false |
1g00v8l | So I have a larger sum to invest and I know lump sum normally beats DCA but for my own peace of mind I feel better doing it over time to get an average of any lows or highs.
For my mindset and to not get worried about the price I'm buying at I've decided I need to set a time each day where I buy no matter the price. Likely will be doing several thousand each day but wondering if statistically is there a best time to do it during each trading day. | 14 | TheDoggydog23 | 2024-10-09T20:10:50 | null | Is there statistically a best time of day to invest during market hours? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1g00v8l/is_there_statistically_a_best_time_of_day_to/ | false | false | false |

1g05oce | # ... savings ... ugh.
I just opened a FHSA. It's mostly just to benefit from tax savings until I decide whether to buy property. I'm wondering where do most FHSA people invest the savings. Do you use it like a TFSA?
In my TFSA, I have a GIC, CASH, equity ETFs, and a few stocks. Thinking doing the same with FHSA until I get better ideas. | 0 | Betanumerus | 2024-10-09T23:46:55 | null | FHSA - Where to invest the saving? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1g05oce/fhsa_where_to_invest_the_saving/ | false | false | false |

1g08xm5 | Let's say I have 100k of equity in a stock. I take out a 100k margin loan against it. The stock goes to 0 so I'm left with a margin loan of 100k
Can I continue to deduct the interest on the loan indefinitely?
What if I have 50 stocks In my portfolio and I sell the one stock, take a small gain, can I continue to deduct the rest of the loan? What if I take a loss on the stock? | 2 | rbatra91 | 2024-10-10T02:35:50 | null | How does Margin loan tax deductibility work on sale of a stock? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1g08xm5/how_does_margin_loan_tax_deductibility_work_on/ | false | false | false |
1g09gv7 | I am trying to gain financial freedom and spent a lot of time to study this subject from the past 2 years. I realized that my best option actually is in the stock market. After many mistakes, I finally figured out the strategy that will work for me. However, I found 90% of the people I met only want real estate investment. It really make me sad that most Canadian are happy to become house poor with bad financial decisions. Many of them can't afford food with their big mortgage and still do it anyway.

1g0f3r5 | Sorry if this question seems a bit random, but with banking stocks performing really well, does this mean people are more focused on saving rather than spending? Just curious if anyone has some industry insights to share.

1g0o63n | Hi. I have the below portfolio with TD. I'm thinking that it is probably better to move most of it to Wealthsimple or to Qtrade or even to Desjardins. Let's say Wealthsimple for now. Is this advisable, or should I just keep it put where it is? If I should go ahead and move at least most of it, how do I do that without incurring losses? The types of funds and investments are as follows: a large amount of cash (CAD+US); a large investment under TFSA TD mutual funds (GL Equity/TD US DIV); a large amount under SDRSP TD Global/Canadian Equity Pools. If I should move the funds, what type of investments should I put them in with WS? Has anyone done that before?

1g0qxvs | Granite REIT completed a "merger" on October 8 where they replaced their stapled unit structure with a conventional REIT trust unit structure. I have the same number of shares for the same ticker symbol in my (non-registered) account as before, but the book value has been reset. The descriptions for the merger transactions include the phrase "IMMED GAIN/LOSS".
Does this transaction result in a crystaliztion of capital gains such that this will be a taxable event this year? I called in to my (online) brokerage and they had no idea. | 1 | BBQallyear | 2024-10-10T19:25:54 | null | Did Granite REIT (GRT.UN) "merger" this week trigger capital gains? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1g0qxvs/did_granite_reit_grtun_merger_this_week_trigger/ | false | false | false |
