Financial advisor

‍

A financial advisor who manages your investments can invest in this fund for you. Many investors find working with a financial advisor helpful, especially as they build wealth and their financial situation becomes more complex. In addition to investment advice, a financial advisor can help you with taxes, retirement, estate planning, insurance, education planning and more.

‍

If you don't have an advisor, ask your network for referrals or choose one through the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada or the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada.

Online brokerage account:

Excellent way to invest your money if you're able to let it sit for 2 to 3 yrs. Payoff is greater than any other financial institution I've researched. Professional and friendly staff with proficient lawyers working. I was very nervous when I did my first investment and now I'm excited to flip it into another investment after my 1st investment paid out this past April 2019. What a great way to save for your future especially if you don't have a pension plan.
