Manage your investment journey online

Not at all! Qtrade Direct Investing is designed for all investors – whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned investor.

With Qtrade Direct Investing you simply have to be serious about taking control of your investments. Before you get started buying and selling stocks, bonds and other financial products yourself, you may want to learn a little about how the stock market works. You can learn the basics quickly, but start investing gradually. You could begin with a small portfolio, or transition a portion of your investments to an online account. Then, shift more of your investments online as you gain experience and confidence.

That’s the beauty of an online brokerage - you have control over your investments and can increase your knowledge over time as you use it.

An ETF, or exchange-traded fund is a collection of investments (that includes stocks, bonds, foreign currency, gold, etc.) that are selected and managed by a fund manager. The investments are then divided up and sold to individual investors on exchanges.

With Qtrade Direct Investing, you get exceptional value, with $8.75 stock trades for everyone, regardless of your account value, and $6.95 stock trades for more active traders. Plus, choose from 100 free ETFs and trade mutual funds commission free.

No! There is no account minimum, so you can open an account with any amount. The sooner you start, the more time you’ll have to reach your investing goals.

No – what Qtrade Direct Investing will do is give you access to the tools and resources to help you make well-informed decisions on where and what to invest in.
