Everyone and their dog seems to be talking about investing these days, and there’s a good reason for that.

Investing is the best way to not only protect your money from losing value (yup, that’s right) due to inflation, but also build wealth.

Even though investing is one of the best things you can do for your future, figuring out how to get started or where to invest can feel overwhelming. We are excited to partner with Qtrade Direct Investing™ to make investing your money even easier with their direct investing and guided portfolio options. Not to mention it can all be done from the comfort of your couch!

In this article, we’ll break down what new investment products we are offering, how they work, and how you can get started today!

What New Investment Products Are We Offering?

Partnering with Qtrade Direct Investing™ means we can now offer two investing platforms for people looking for online investing options!

They offer a platform, Qtrade Direct Investing™, that allows you to manage your investments so that you have the confidence to buy and sell stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds – with low trading fees.

And they even offer a fully automated service, Qtrade Guided Portfolios™, for people who prefer a more guided hands-off approach, so you don’t have to make any investment decisions.

Regardless of your investment strategy– there’s an option for you with Qtrade.

What Is Digital Investing?

Life is busy. You want to grow your savings, but in-person banking doesn’t always give you the value or convenience you want— that’s where digital investing fits in.

In simple terms investing is using money to purchase an asset that you expect to increase in value over a period of time.

So, digital investing is investing but using your computer to buy, sell, or trade stocks, bonds, etc., rather than going into a bank and investing in person.

Why Should You Invest Your Money?

Investing is a way for you to potentially build wealth.

By having your money sit in a savings account, not only do you lose out on the opportunity to put your money to work and build wealth– but you also usually lose money due to inflation.

This happens when the value of a dollar decreases over time. If your money isn’t growing at the same rate as inflation, you’re actually losing money. Yikes!

Online investing platforms provide Canadians with flexibility in investing for their future, and are a way to protect your hard-earned money.
