Q: I have a question about the Emerge ARK ETFs vs the ARK ETFs in the US (under Cathy). I was thinking of buying the Cdn version but am a little concerned. My understanding is that the ARK funds (under Cathy) in the US charge a "total" of 0.75% for their services. Their Cdn version, the Emerge ETFs, I thought charged 0.80% for their services but looking closer, they appear to charge a "total" of 1.15% which consists of the mgmt fee and other expenses I assume.

I believe I have to look at the MER to see the total cost and not the mgmt fee?

Is it possible the extra costs are for converting Cdn $s into US $s to acquire US equities?

I assume we are better off buying the ARK etfs in the US under Cathy?

If you could confirm my understanding of the above few questions it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan,
My basic subscription was renewed a month ago but I'm thinking of getting the Portfolio Analytics subscription so is there any way to do this without losing the money spent on the basic one? I would like to make the switch in a month or two.

Thanks,
