Portfolio Fee Audit

Portfolio Fee Audit

Your bank advisor won't show you this number. Enter your fund holdings and see your blended MER — then compare it to a low-cost target like VEQT (0.24%), XEQT (0.20%), or your own hypothetical portfolio.

Most bank portfolios charge 10× more in fees than a simple all-in-one ETF, and the gap compounds over decades. Use this when you're deciding whether to stay with your advisor's funds or move to self-directed investing. The dollar amount at the bottom is usually the wake-up call.
