ETF vs Index Funds
- Thread starter Big Rig
- Start date
They can be one in the same. ETFs are generally more liquid and have lower fees. Being exchange traded you can get in and out of them at any time the exchange is open and not only at the daily NAV value.
Agreed, these are the same investments. In other words, an ETF that tracks the Toronto Stock exchange will perform the same as an Index fund that tracks the Toronto Stock exchange. I would suggest if you are not comfortable opening a brokerage account yourself and buy an ETF on the stock exchange then simply walk into whatever bank you deal with and buy their index funds.
Thanks for advice
I just opened a TD trading account and I will go see an advisor at the bank
I am keen on their E series which seems to be ETFs wrapped inside an index fund at .05 % and I want to know which funds should go into TSFA, RRSP and non-registered accounts for tax reasons.
I also want to go defensive in anticipation of a downturn so I need to know where to park cash so I can get back in after the bear has left the building.
I am actually hoping for a crash so I can profit. My theory is I will not lose on the stocks I own as I will not be cashing them in until they rebound so the bigger the crash the better.
You do not lose on a stock until you sell.
