Qtrade Direct Investing
Qtrade Direct Investing is a Canadian self-directed brokerage that combines $0 online stock, ETF, and mutual-fund commissions with independent research, portfolio analytics, and phone or chat support. It is a strong fit for buy-and-hold investors who want low trading costs without giving up the research and service associated with a fuller brokerage platform. Qtrade supports cash and margin accounts alongside Canadian registered accounts including TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP, RRIF, and locked-in plans. The main cost exceptions to check are the $0.75 per options contract, the $150 outgoing account transfer, and the US$15 quarterly charge for USD registered accounts other than FHSA.
