Third-Party Management
In areas outside of investment expertise (such as real estate, infrastructure, private equity, etc), and where deemed appropriate for your portfolio, Management Expense Ratios (MER) may also apply to any third-party management selections. These are discussed in detail and made clear in advance.
Any proposed MER's for third-party management are in addition to the costs described above.

Costs are withdrawn from each account at the end of each month (+HST) and show as transactions that you can view on the client portal. Annual cost-statements are also provided at year-end.

Account trustee fees are charged to accounts in households that hold net cumulative household portfolio assets under $1M, and can range from $50-$200 per year. These potential costs are charged quarterly (+HST).
