What is our Classic portfolio?
The Classic portfolio is one of our portfolio options in our managed accounts. Other options include Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) portfolios and Halal portfolios.
With our Classic investment portfolio, your money is invested in a diverse portfolio made up of low-fee ETFs. Like all of our portfolios, the Classic portfolio is diversified across asset classes and geographies to help investors achieve a higher rate of return while taking on less risk.
What fees does Wealthsimple charge for Classic portfolios?
Our management fees for all of our managed portfolios are the same — 0.5% (it drops to 0.4% if you have more than $100,000 with us). As with all investments, there is also an additional fee that is charged by the firms that manage the ETFs (generally 0.1-0.2%).
