My RDSP Report Card

In 2012 I switched my child’s RDSP from BMO to TD Waterhouse. I was fed up with the limited investment options at BMO and their outrageous pricing.

I decided that my investment choices would follow the recommendations of the Canadian Couch Potato using TD e-Series funds.

How have things worked out so far?  Well, I’m pleased to say that the account has done very well with a rate of return for 2014 of 10.34%.  I don’t think this will repeated every year, but it’s a very good start.

I love the simplicity of the plan.

• I make a contribution once a year
• The government will advise you by letter of the contribution that will attract the maximum grant and bond.
• Wait for the government to add their contribution.
• Re-balance the account to the original asset allocation.
• That’s it.  You are done for the year.

To make the switch refer to my post RDSP – Change of Financial Institution
