1g841be | Quick backstory, Spring 2023 my mom was gifted (living will) 302 CIBC (initial price of $57.31) and 300 CNR ($158.82) stocks, and she has kept them in a non-registered account, largely because two different banks failed to help her in transferring the shares into her account (they were held under Computershare and TSX Trust, since they were physical shares), but she finally now has access to them thanks to WealthSimple.
My question is about the tax implications. So, the CIBC shares have gone up significantly (total difference of $8,809) and the CNR shares have gone down a bit ($594), if she was to move all of it into her TFSA (and she does have the contribution room), what would the end tax implication be?
Would it just add $8,809 to her taxable income (she's retired and living on a pension, but my dad still works and owns his own business so I have no idea what their tax rate would be)? | 4 | MikeJeffriesPA | 2024-10-20T17:28:50 | null | Moving two different sets of shares from a non-registered account to a TFSA, trying to figure out the tax implications | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1g841be/moving_two_different_sets_of_shares_from_a/ | false | false | false |

1g8cmt1 | Pretend you have $1 million in cash today to invest and you need to generate $50,000 (or more) in annual cash flow indefinitely, increasing annually to account for inflation. What are you going to invest in? The cash flow must be sustainable: no significant erosion of capital through things like return of capital from income-generating funds. Assume 50% is in non-registered accounts and 50% is in registered accounts. No other income.
For me, it would be some combination of stale dividend-generating ETFs (e.g., XEI.TO, CYH.TO, VRIF.TO), fixed income (e.g., BND.TO, XHY.TO, HAF.TO), preferred shares (e.g., CPD.TO, ZPR.TO, ZUP.TO), with a 1-2 year cash buffer (e.g., CBIL.TO, ZMMK.TO).

1g8i1g1 | Anyone currently holding this? RBF602 is the one I’m talking about and I know it’s a mutual fund and ETFs are obviously preferable but an MER of 0.7% (for series F) isn’t terrible for an actively managed fund. I’ve attempted to find an ETF with high quality fixed income as well as a high % of qualified Canadian dividends, but I haven’t found one that matches this criteria as it seems like all the monthly income ETF options (ZMI and XTR being the two biggest examples) hold low quality corporate junk bonds for the majority of their fixed income allocations. I’m currently in the accumulation phase and have all my assets in XBAL but I’m just looking ahead a bit to the future and trying to find the best option to get a tax efficient yield of ~3.5% as well as capital growth to keep up with inflation.

1g8mo2i | I’ve been trading stocks for many years and have only recently started looking at ETFs.
I would be considered a swing trader as I prefer to set a stop loss when buying and I could end up holding for only a few days.
Just about all the discussions that I’ve seen have talk about buying and holding ETFs.
Are there any disadvantages of trading ETFs the same way that I’m doing with stocks?

1g90yiy | I've just tested doing a currency conversion at BMO's InvestorLine using the Norbert's gambit method since I was reading possible differences with the new BMO's platformed refered to as 2.0 in some posts. So I did the test with RY since it is listed as both RY:US and RY:CA and everyting works as expected. Was able to buy USD, Sell CAD and CAD found are available right away for a CAD buy transaction.
I realized that it would be safer to use something like DRL since it does not fluctuate much during a short period.
Now I am wondering if it will work the same with DLR since it is listed as DLR**.U:CA** (and DLR:CA) vs DLR:US like RY (RY:CA and RY:US) as an example ?
(Short questions is: Is DRL the same as DLR.U on the BMO InvestorLine plateform ?)

1g92gmg | Thought I would share some info with the group. I have been tracking my stock portfolio in Google Sheets for a few years. Initially, I was able to track prices using the GoogleFinance function, and import more detailed data using YahooFinance API scripts that were free to use.
Recently, as many of you know, the GoogleFinance function has been unreliable - and completely broken for REITs and other -UN stocks. YahooFinance also restructured their website, and took down their free end points that allowed data retrieval using scripts.
The best solution I have found, even though its not free is Wisesheets. (there is also Excel version, though I haven't tried it). The Pro (base) plan is $60 USD per year, which is about half the cost of any other solution I researched, and after using it for a week I can say it works great. All of the common markets are supported, and you can pull all kinds of stock data using the Google Sheets Extension and built in formulae.
I do not work for Wisesheets nor do I have any affiliation to them, just wanted to share this bit of info for anyone who may be looking for a replacement for GoogleFinance and YahooFinance functions. | 2 | Apologetic_Kanadian | 2024-10-21T22:15:14 | null | The Solution To Broken Google Finance and Yahoo Finance APIs | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1g92gmg/the_solution_to_broken_google_finance_and_yahoo/ | false | false | false |

1g9i2ej | Looking for thoughts on how to balance return and income as best possible. My in-laws are selling a house and moving into retiremeng living. The sale will provide enough capital to pay all costs over their expected remaining liferime plus. Have been thinking ladder GICs but the yield curve is just not very enticing. They do not need the income per say but I wiuld like to earn something as their annual costs will be about $100,000 per year. They do have small Pensions and other savings.
Looking at approx $1million, so this is not small and ages are 88 and 93. Advice... just go the safe secure route?

1g9jqk3 | Hi all, looking for your honest opinions here. Background - I’m planning to sell my rental property in Toronto and reinvest in another unit in Vancouver (where I live, so it’s easier to manage). I hope to recover approx. $400k in the sale. I currently have a mortgage of $1M on my principal residence.
It was suggested to me to put the $400k into my mortgage, and use a line of credit as the down payment in purchasing the new rental property because it allows you to write off the LOC interest.
The other option is just to pay down the mortgage and invest in stocks etc.
When I did the math the interest saved by paying down my mortgage is 100k, but the interest also paid on the LOC is 100k (if repaid in 10 years), so it cancels out although one is tax deductible.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this strategy and have any precautions? Thanks in advance! | 0 | fiddleleafpop | 2024-10-22T14:39:32 | null | Use LOC as down payment | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1g9jqk3/use_loc_as_down_payment/ | false | false | false |

1g9tlxk | Hi.
I just closed my first mortgage and have some money leftover to payoff my car loan (35K financed at 4.5%). I’m debating if paying off is better vs investing in unregistered account. (I already have RRSP, TFSA & RESP topped off)
Option1: pay off car loan, save 800/m in monthly operating expenses. Money is tight every month hence this is tempting. Rely on Secure line of Credit (34K @ 6.95%) for emergencies.
Option2: keep the car loan and invest in VUN or XEQT. I keep myself an easy to access emergency fund and hope that I make more than 9.6% return to match after tax benefit of atleast 4.5%
Which one would you recommend and why? | 0 | Tight_Competition_78 | 2024-10-22T21:27:47 | null | Payoff car loan vs Invest | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1g9tlxk/payoff_car_loan_vs_invest/ | false | false | false |
1g9u18e | Hello all,
For Past few years I’ve been saving aggressively to reach $100k it’s currently sitting in a HISA. I want to and have the ability to max out my tfsa limit which is $64k previously no contributions, looking to make long term investments 20+ years no withdraws. I am thinking about purchasing XEQT and VFV knowing the risk level and being all equity, I believe I am comfortable with that decision, but I just cannot see my self investing the full amount right now. Currently I feel comfortable with investing $20k approximately right now and starting next year I will DCA the limit of every new year going forward, Plus a little more $3-4K on top to catch up on that remaining unused contribution limit.
Does this sound like a sensible plan? I want to invest long term but cannot see my self investing full 64k right away I know I that I should max out the full limit but my current living situation and employment are not ideal at the moment. when I get my self into a better living situation in life and headspace I guess, I’d be comfortable and would not mind to invest more to max out the limit faster.
Thank you all for lending an ear, I’ve really been losing sleep over this for the last few weeks.
Many Thanks.

I have an RRSP, TFSA, and FHSA. I'm 27 and I just started making real money so I have a lot of contrib room on the TFSA and RRSP (FHSA only started last year so I'm up to date on that one).
I can contribute whatever my yearly room is for all three accounts, and then I still have all that extra room from not maxing out since I was 18.
I'll make like $125-145k this year, and then add hopefully an extra 20k a year for the next three years at least.
My strategy has been to max out yearly room in FHSA first, then RRSP, and then use my nice tax return to contribute to TFSA. I am aiming for 75% VEQT, 10% VGRO, 10% [CASH.TO](http://CASH.TO), 5% fun in all accounts.
Maxing out the yearly room in all three accounts is taking up all my saving capacity, but in a couple years I hope I'll be able to put a good chunk of money in for all that extra room in my TFSA and RRSP.
In terms of savings goals, I would probably be liquidating my FHSA (which would be at least $40k), take that $30k or whatever is allowed out of the RRSP, and whatever else I need from the TFSA in about 5 years. I guess I will start moving more stuff to [CASH.TO](http://CASH.TO) in the year before I want to have a down payment ready.
Is this a reasonably good strategy? I'm not worried about the exact best optimized portfolio, just something reasonably optimal that's easy to set and forget.

1g9xl62 | This is a stupid questions but trying to understand the math behinds taking profits.
I've talked myself into something that I know I'm wrong with but don't know why.
Scenario:
* Book Cost: 200,000K (1000 Share)
* Market Value: 240,000K (+20% / 40,000K)
* Plan: Take out $40,000 profits, back down to 200,000K
If I take out the $40,000K with the assumption this stock will drop back down 20%.....how and I better off and what does one do with that $40,000K.

1g9yb1x | I have a TD mutual fund account (holding E-Series funds). There are 3 RESP and 1 RRSP in total for $130000. TD will not offer me their 1% cash back promotion if I open a Direct Investing account with them and transfer the mutual funds into similar TD ETFs.
Are there any other banks or platforms that are offering a 1% cash back and some free trades for opening a direct account with them as a new customer? I would only be holding ETFs like XEQT, VGRO or maybe ZMMK. I'd like 50 or so free trades as the 3 RESP accounts get contributions twice a year PLUS get government money (CESG) as well.

1ga3pp3 | Need advice if on the right track or invest in other
Profile: Late 20s. Currently have ~62k in TFSA. Nothing in RRSP. Annual salary is ~54k.
For my age and salary tax bracket, my plan was to invest in TFSA first then RRSP. Currently, live with parents and do not pay rent. I pay for everything else I need. Initial investment was ~$15k.
Goal: Saving sizeable amount for downpayment on house or for retirement.
Current investment holdings:
TFSA 1
- 8.79% in CNR.to stock (+13% since initial invesment in 2020).
- 24.56% in VBAL.to ETF (+21.58% since initial investment in 2020)
- 66.65% in VFV.to ETF (+31.87% since initial investment in 2020)
TFSA 2
Cashable GIC (emergency fund) = $15.3k at 4.2% interest which matures in November.
Since 2020, in TFSA 1, I have been DCAing or more so adding lump sum of $1000+ almost every other month to make it worth the $10 TD trade fee. (So far have chosen to stay with TD since easy and quick to move money around and I have other accounts with them, and recieve better customer service for all banking needs than an online roboadvisor).
Overall made $13308.44 (+%27.44) since having started investing 2020.
Im still a newer investor and am open to advice for either more aggressive or conservative investments advice. I would appreciate hearing investment advice for the short term and long term. | 3 | juvencius | 2024-10-23T06:14:23 | null | May I have feedback on if Im on the right track or need to change strategy with some suggestions? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1ga3pp3/may_i_have_feedback_on_if_im_on_the_right_track/ | false | false | false |

I'm leaning towards XEI and XEQT + 2-3 years in fixed income like HISA CASH/CBIL ETF's.

1gbvxd9 | This post got removed from r/PersonalFinanceCanada for some reason, maybe they don't like questions regarding speculation..
Earlier this year I took a $16K RRSP loan and invested it all at once to max my RRSP. Then I paid off the entire loan at once with my bonus and tax return, so I incurred maybe 2 months and a half of interest. But within those months, I made quite a bit of money on that $16K, and the months that followed.
I know the market has been doing pretty well in the last couple of months, but this got me thinking, that maybe it makes more sense to invest a lump sum as soon as the contribution room becomes available to take advantage of compound growth sooner and with a larger amount? As opposed to doing smaller monthly contributions throughout the year? Given that I can pay off the loan with my tax return + bonus in April to incur as little interest as possible.
Then I just focus on maxing the TFSA throughout the year.

1gbwhj3 | My wife and I (mid/late 20s) are looking to open an FHSA each, our goal is definitely in 5 years time to buy a house. We had an appoint with TD bank today where I have other accounts open, and to my surprise they said there is no direct investing and instead we have to choose out of the following holdings for our FHSA:

What is the general slow and steady suggestion people have? or should I look into the portfolios TD has to offer?
Based on above then the question is, to go the direct investing route should I open with wealthsimple? is it all the same at the time of buying a house to get your money out, how have people’s experiences been, how exactly does it work with wealthsimple? don’t want to run into any hurdles | 5 | JonSnow_123 | 2024-10-25T15:08:04 | null | FHSA Confusions: What to hold?

1gc6mkx | Looking at the prices of XEQT and XGRO -- starting at the inception of XEQT 5 years ago -- I'm struggling to see any considerable advantage of XGRO over XEQT. For example, is there some obvious, appreciable dampening of downturns -- and not merely of overall growth? Maybe the effects would be more evident on longer timescales, during different downturns, and in different bond-return environments?

Looking at prices over a longer period, starting when the very first ETFs in this family arose, and comparing XGRO and XBAL, I can see that the greater bond weighting in XBAL seems to have lent investors some protection from the intensity of the 2008-2009 crisis. (Right?) Would XGRO and XEQT compare similarly, had they existed back then, or during a similar crisis in the future?

1gcuryo | My current emergency fund is kept in a scotia momentum savings account with a very poor interest rate of 1.8%… Would it make sense to move this to a TFSA and buy CASH.TO instead?
Should I ever need the money does withdrawal affect total contribution room?
Where do you guys keep your emergency fund?

1gcxrt6 | Is anybody here still using Wealthsimple’s robo advisor? How’s it performing for you guys?
I’m still new to investing. I started WS back in 2020. I set mine to risk level 9. Continued investing through Covid. Took a big hit but I just kept investing every month. I’m currently sitting at almost 27% positive return.
For long time professional investors, can this be considered a good performance? | 72 | OutlandishnessSea258 | 2024-10-26T23:24:39 | null | How is your Wealthsimple Robo advisor account doing? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1gcxrt6/how_is_your_wealthsimple_robo_advisor_account/ | false | false | false |

Looking for advice if anyone considered investing in Artwork. I looked up Masterworks and they are suggesting that their artwork deals have outperformed S&P500 over the years. Seems too good to be true but want to ask if anyone here considered that.

1gdqm8t | Hi team,
In my late 20’s and finally started making good money now.
I’ve neglected investing these past few years but looking to change that now.
I’m getting married next year and have funds saved up for the wedding and a down payment for the house already. I don’t think I’ll need the FHSA to purchase a house but I’m looking to take advantage of it to eventually roll it over into a RRSP.
How would you/did you invest into a FHSA?
Thank you! | 15 | 6Flight | 2024-10-28T01:23:01 | null | How did/would you invest in a FHSA? | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1gdqm8t/how_didwould_you_invest_in_a_fhsa/ | false | false | false |
1gds8y2 | My goal is to invest
1. ETF that follows the s&p (VFV & VOO)
2. ETF that invests in the total stock market (VEQT)
3. ETF that earns dividends (SCHD & VDY)
I understand that buying US ETFs may incur foreign transaction fees or withholding taxes on dividends. But the withholding taxes are not charged if it's invested in an RRSP? What is the general consensus for how one should invest in the above-listed ETFs and from which of the 3 accounts (RRSP, FHSA, TFSA) is holding these recommended? Like for does it make sense to have some of these ETFs in 1 of these accounts but not the other?
VFV, VOO, VEQT, SCHD & VDY are what I've shortlisted and wanted to get opinions on how I should distribute/split my portfolio with these or if I should reduce this list or expand them? | 2 | AnSmartDude | 2024-10-28T02:51:07 | null | Recommended ETFs for RRSP, FHSA, TFSA | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1gds8y2/recommended_etfs_for_rrsp_fhsa_tfsa/ | false | false | false |

1ge5wa4 | After some recent re-evaluation of platform and offerings, I want to move my TFSA from TD to WealthSimple. I already have a TFSA open in Wealthsimple as well.
One of the questions I had was, is it possible to move just a select few holdings form my TD TFSA to Wealthsimple, or do I need to move over my entire TFSA? and does it matter that I already have a TFSA in WealthSimple?
Also what would be the fees associated, I have around \~12k in my TD TFSA. | 13 | JonSnow_123 | 2024-10-28T16:08:40 | null | Transferring TFSA Holdings from TD to Wealthsimple | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1ge5wa4/transferring_tfsa_holdings_from_td_to_wealthsimple/ | false | false | false |

1ge8q47 | I want to max out the $8000 per year FHSA, but the ETF i want to use has dividends. I am trying to figure out if the dividends re-invested would count as contributions. If they do I would just put the money towards a tax free account where i have lots of room.
Also trying to learn from CRA but not finding the information easily.

1gegckz | I'm 22 years old and this is my Long-Term growth portfolio. Trying to be a "high-risk" investor while being diversified.
- 50% US equity large caps (75% in vfv and 25% in xqq) here I want exposure to s&p and the nasdaq . I feel like it's better to be into the s&p more as nasdaq is tech oriented higher risk. I know there's some crossover here.
-20% in global large caps growth equities (xsu)
-15% in cad all cap index (vcn)
-15% in small cap US growth (xsu)
The goal for me is to be well diversified and have exposure to maximize growth over the next decades of my life. Still want cad exposure but don't want to have too much home country bias. Not interested in fixed income assets. I want to focus primarily on growth equity.
Suggestions and comments are more than welcome. | 3 | defga1326 | 2024-10-28T23:21:29 | null | Portfolio, let me know suggestions or improvements | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1gegckz/portfolio_let_me_know_suggestions_or_improvements/ | false | false | false |
