What fees does Wealthsimple charge?
Wealthsimple uses a fee-only model.
This means Wealthsimple gets paid a flat fee regardless of what financial products or services you use. It also means they have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients. Instead of making money on trades commissions or selling products, they recommend an asset allocation and get paid a flat-fee or a percentage of the assets under administration. That requires that they act in their client’s financial best interest at all times.

What management fees does Wealthsimple charge?
Wealthsimple charges an annual management fee that starts at .40% and ranges up to .50%.
Many financial advisors charge based on how much money they oversee by using a fee-structure called “assets under management,” or AUM. For instance, a 0.40% fee translates to $4 per year for every $1,000 an investment advisor manages. Management fees, also known as maintenance fees, cover the operating costs of investment advisors and are typically deducted from your account every month or quarter. The management fee does not cover the underlying expense ratios of the investment vehicles purchased by investment advisors.
What are the investment expense ratios of Wealthsimple?
Hiring an investment advisor with competitive investment fees is one of the most important steps to maximizing your portfolio's performance. Investment expense ratios can vary drastically depending on the types of accounts and assets involved. A survey by the ICI puts the average expense ratio for actively managed funds at 0.76% and indexed funds at 0.08%. The investment expense ratios of an investment advisor will vary depending on the type of assets they invest in and whether they attach additional charges to fund fees.
Wealthsimple charges an investment expense ratio that starts at .09% and ranges up to 0.13%.What features does Wealthsimple offer?
Access to human advisors: Robo-advisors are great at keeping costs down and helping investors with modest balances make good investment choices. However, it is also nice to have access to human financial advisors when you need them.
Automatic rebalancing: Having a good balance of investments is important. But a well-balanced portfolio is not something you can set up and forget. Markets are constantly changing and can easily throw your portfolio out of balance. Wealthsimple allows you to rebalance your investments back to your target asset allocation at set intervals.
Wealthsimple is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Registered investment advisors are required to provide detailed information on the financial and legal status of the company and its staff. This allows investors to examine closely any conflicts of interest and look into the background of the company and its advisory team.
Wealthsimple offers the option of direct indexing. Direct indexing allows investors to buy individual stocks in all the companies included in an index without having to pay a trading fee for each one. Among other things, this allows investors to take advantage of tax-loss harvesting tools at a scale that is not possible with traditional index funds.
What type of investment accounts and asset classes does Wealthsimple support?
