Asset Mixer Portfolios
If you're just starting to build your portfolio then it's good to keep things simple. You can't go too far wrong with our basic portfolios. If you're more knowledgeable then our advanced portfolios may be up your alley. These portfolios are just starting points and they don't take into account your unique circumstances. Always make sure you understand what you're getting into before investing and remember that no investment is risk free. Talk to an investment advisor if you need assistance. Basic Portfolios Both the Simply Canadian and Classic Couch Potato portfolios are great replacements for high-fee balanced funds.

Conservative: with iShares ETFs or eFunds Balanced: with iShares ETFs or eFunds Aggressive: with iShares ETFs or eFunds Permanent Portfolio Modelled after Harry Browne's U.S. permanent portfolio this Canadian version opts for a little more stock diversification due to our relatively small stock market. It splits its money equally between cash (as represented by 3-month Canadian Treasury bills), long-term Canadian bonds, gold, and stocks. The stock component is split equally between Canadian stocks, U.S. stocks, and international stocks. Canadian Permanent Portfolio: with iShares ETFS Funds We highlight two fund options. One, the TD eFunds which are regular low-fee mutual funds that are easy to access for many new investors. The other, exchange traded funds, or ETFs, which trade like stocks and require a brokerage account. ETFs tend to be better for those with larger accounts and for more experienced investors.
