In 2012 I switched my child’s Registered Disability Savings Plan (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. For this account I chose the balanced approach.
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 2015 of 6.1% and an overall average annual return of 9%.
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
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any financial institution. I believe you should get the best deal possible, but the prime objective should be to open an RDSP and start collecting free money from the government. If you are more comfortable at a different bank, then by all means go there.
