Robo Advisors

Tangerine Investments offers lower fee and comprehensive indexed-based portfolios. But they are not the first name that comes to mind when looking at the Canadian Robo Advisors.  But Tangerine can be a complete digital experience just like the other Robo’s. The portfolios are mutual funds all with management expense ratios of 1.07%. There are no fees for when you buy or sell. Investment advice is available.

Here’s the Tangerine Investments Review.

In January of 2021 they introduced the Tangerine Global ETF Portfolios.

The Robo Advisors Have Landed – Don’t Be Scared.

The Canadian Robo Advisors allow investors to create complete ETF portfolios online, with very reasonable fees. For example, based on a $100,000 investment portfolio the annual fees would range from $360 to $800 (.20%-.80%) depending on the Robo Advisor selected. Investors will also pay the underlying management expenses of the ETFs. Human advice is also available.

Here’s a post that looks at the best-performing Canadian Robo Advisor. In that post you’ll see the 5-year and 3-year returns for the leading Robo’s in Canada.

Two active managers that we like

Visit Mawer Investments

The Mawer Mantra is “Be Boring. Make Money”. That’s music to the ears of many no-nonsense indexers. They believe in a simple buy and hold value based investment approach. They offer a comprehensive Balanced Portfolio for a management expense ratio of .94%. At times, they certainly can provide or create alpha. Minimums may apply, typically $5,000 per fund. They might be the best mutual fund company in Canada.

Visit Steadyhand

OK, I love the cheeky claim of Steadyhand that they are not Indexers but Undexers. Here’s my review Most Canadian Investors Want Advice. Many More Could Use A Steadyhand. They have those more reasonable fee structures to go along with advice and sensible asset allocation. The performance has been soft, but you will get advice and that holding hand.
