Hi All
New to the forum after stumbling upon Canadian Capitalist and Million Dollar Journey blogs. Ideal timing as their is some much to read and learn but I also have the realities of a six month old taking much of my time. It's a good job she's cute.
Anyway my wife and I had recently signed up to a group RESP provider as initially I had thought it was how things were done, being relatively new to Canada. I find big prospectuses and lots of terms and conditions a little concerning and again had little time and less inclination to read through ever detail. I decided to google what I could and now I'm here. I'm thinking of moving to a TD e-fund and when I cancelled the group plan (within 60 day so hopefully I won't get stung) the rep and I talked a bit about bank RESPs.
The only fees I had picked up about with the e-fund series is the low MER but I also had TER and possible termination fees throw in from the rep.
Is there a TER fee on the e-funds? I tried searching for info but didn't find any. It leads me to think their aren't any but thought I'd ask to be sure.
I understand that I only have to keep the money in the funds 90 days before withdrawing it to avoid any fees. Would that fee be classed as a termination fee? The rep mentioned that you usually had to have your money in a mutual fund for 4 years to avoid these.
Any other thoughts or comments please. I was planning to get the branch part of the e-fund done soon so I could do to get this cleared up.
Thanks
