Unfortunately, how an ETF has performed in the past can't help you predict how it will perform in the future. Unlike high-interest savings accounts, an ETF is not CDIC-insured. If something were to happen to the assets of the ETF for whatever reason, there's no government insurance to secure your investment.

ETFs are traded on the stock exchange like an individual stock, which means that investors may have to pay a real or virtual broker in order to facilitate the trade.

Investing is an effective way to put your money to work and potentially build wealth. Smart investing may allow your money to outpace inflation and increase in value. The greater growth potential of investing is primarily due to the power of compounding and the risk-return tradeoff.

What is the main reason for investing in equities? ›

The main benefit from an equity investment is the possibility to increase the value of the principal amount invested. This comes in the form of capital gains and dividends. An equity fund offers investors a diversified investment option typically for a minimum initial investment amount.
