Q: Please explain the difference between "management fee" and" management expense ratio". Is the management fee included in the MER or separate? In other words to find out the total fees charged, one would add the 2 fees together. Correct??
Q: I'm wondering if the management fees on ETFs and Mutual funds are tax deductible? My tax software ask for "Management and safe custody fees" and it tweaked my interest and this question. Sorry it is so late. If possible can you answer this weekend? Thanks for the great service.
Q: Can you verify the return of capital for HDIF.Not sure how I found a chart on it but if I am right it showed 87% ROC for 2022.Surely I am wrong . Also A new issue Is HRIF without leverage. Can you explain this? And also I currently hold some CIG686 for monthly income . Would you comment on a switch to either or or suggest something with less ROC .Please and thanks and use all questions to cover.Larry
Q: This is in response to Greg's question on cash etf's through TD Webbroker. I use the TD investment savings accounts, TDB8150 for CAD and TDB8152 for USD, they are structured as mutual funds but are not mutual funds, no mgmt fees, no trading fees, current rates are 4.05% and 4.15% respectively, interest is calculated daily and paid monthly, unit value $10 does not fluctuate i.e. no capital gains or losses. Check it out. You have next day liquidity if trade is placed before 3 pm ET and you can buy securities if these holdings are in your account as units are treated like cash, you just have to ensure you sell units to settle trades. Hope this helps.
Q: We have a diversified portfolio. We would like to automatically invest on a monthly basis going forward for the next 7-8 years. Can you suggest 3 no load mutual funds: 1. Canadian 2. US 3. General bond fund.
We understand that we cannot automatize ETF investments, so even funds that mirror the Canadian, US indices would be good.
