E*TRADE Canada FundPlus Program
|
The E*TRADE Canada FundPlus Program offers more choice to investors by providing access to a special class of mutual funds that do not pay a trailer fee, resulting in a lower Management Expense ratio (MER) and the potential for higher returns for you, the investor. For the first time, E*TRADE Canada provides self-directed investors the opportunity to realize the higher returns available through lower MER mutual funds.
The Management Expense Ratio (MER) is the percentage of assets that is spent to run a mutual fund. Because there are no trailer fees or associated with the distribution of this special class of funds, the MER is lower.
The typical annual return on the class of lower MER funds offered through the FundPlus Program can be about 1% higher than the traditionaltrailer-fee paying versions of the same funds, as a result of this lower MER1. Assuming annual compound interest, earning just an extra one per cent can increase the value of a $50,000 investment by over $5,000 in ten years!1
Lower MER funds, which have traditionally been offered in association with advice-based managed or wrap accounts with full service brokerages, are now available through E*TRADE Canada for a service fee of $26.99 for each purchase or sale.
