This means you get the lower cost benefits of ETFs combined with the benefits of mutual funds - such as automatic contributions, rebalancing and dividend reinvesting. And because the ETFs are held in a mutual fund, it’s easy to invest in them, you don’t need to research, buy, sell and rebalance the individual ETFs yourself.

  2. What are the investment fees for the Global ETF Portfolios?

    Since Tangerine Global ETF Portfolios are mutual funds, you’ll pay a Management Expense Ratio (MER), representing the annual cost of owning the Fund. The most up-to-date MER for Tangerine Global ETF Portfolios can be found here.

  9. What are some differences between an ETF and a mutual fund?

    One major difference is that ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) typically trade like a stock, meaning they can be priced and traded multiple times throughout the day on an exchange. Mutual funds, like Tangerine Investment Funds, simply trade once a day with a closing price at the end of the trading day. Another difference is that ETFs tend to be lower cost in nature because they simply track an index or sector without needing a fund manager to call the shots.
