Questrade Review 2023: What matters to Canadian investors + MORE Jun 27th

For over 20 years, Questrade has provided Canadian investors with its attractive fees on a full range of assets—including stocks, mutual funds,  ETFs, initial public offerings (IPOs), bonds, and even gold and silver. If you’re shopping around for a discount brokerage, you’ve likely come across Questrade, especially since it’s  among the most popular online brokerages,  and competes with Wealthsimple.

Questrade has a few different offerings aimed at different types of investors in Canada. Questwealth Portfolios—its robo-advisor—caters to first-time investors, those with limited experience or those who simply don’t want to actively manage their investments.  The brokerage service is meant for do-it-yourself (DIY) investors and traders, and it is best suited to those with more investing knowledge and confidence. Among its latest offerings, Questrade also offers mortgages—making its inroad into another sector of the financial services landscape…

Mallory Greene is modernizing the funeral industry. Greene is the co-founder and CEO of Eirene, which offers end-of-life services—including cremation arrangement and funeral planning—that families can set up online or by phone, 24/7.

This May, the Cost of Living Act (Bill C-46) passed, putting into motion several key plans to make life more affordable for Canadians—including a new, one-time grocery rebate. If you have questions about the Canada federal budget grocery rebate, including amounts, eligibility and when it will be paid out, read on.

What is the grocery rebate in Canada?
