How We Create Your Portfolio

The ETFs (and cash) we recommend for your portfolio will depend on your answers to our short online questionnaire. For example, if you’re investing for retirement and have 30 years to save, we’ll recommend a different portfolio than if you’re investing for a new car and need the money in 5 years.

ETFs are flexible investments that offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Diversification (a strategy used to reduce risk by holding securities across a variety of issuers, asset types, sectors, industries and geographies);
  • Lower fees than mutual funds;
  • Liquidity, which means they are easily bought and sold.
