It can be difficult to navigate all the investment platforms, such as online brokers and robo-advisors. Of course, self-directed <strong>online investing<\/strong> requires more knowledge than investing at a bank with a financial advisor. But the potential returns, combined with lower management fees, can make a huge difference over the long term.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What Is an Online Investment Platform?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;what_is_an_online_investment_platform_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to investing online, there are several options and strategies to choose from. For the purposes of this article, we&#8217;ll concentrate on <strong>investing in the stock market<\/strong>. More specifically, investing in the stock market via an online brokerage platform or a robo-advisor.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>An online brokerage platform, also known as an online broker or discount broker, acts as an intermediary between you and the stock markets. To buy or sell shares in listed companies such as Apple or Microsoft, you need an account on a brokerage platform. This is self-directed investing. You will be able to enter your trades (e.g. purchase Apple shares) and receive the shares when your trades are executed by the broker. You can then hold on to your shares and resell them at a profit, depending on your investment strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Another option, for those who prefer to wait before starting with self-directed investing, is to invest online using a <strong>robo-advisor<\/strong>. Robo-advisors streamline investment processes by doing everything for you. Based on your investor profile and investment timeline, a robo-advisor can recommend investment portfolios that match your needs, automatically rebalance your portfolio, and reinvest dividends for you.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"wpb_content_element wpb_miles_element\">\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='s'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='post'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_post container_template--s container_count--4'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"post_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"371472,336193,341803,402789\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Investing Online &#8211; What Type of Investment Account Should I Choose?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;investing_online_-_what_type_of_investment_account_should_i_choose_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-placeholder-blurred=\"R\u00e9digez un contenu\" data-placeholder-focused=\"R\u00e9digez un contenu ou saisissez \u00ab \/ \u00bb pour r\u00e9diger avec l'AI+ Content\">As a Canadian, you can invest in registered or non-registered accounts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Registered account<\/strong>: A registered account, also known as a registered plan, is an investment account that receives special tax treatment from the government (tax deferral or tax exemption).

However, investment choices are generally limited to that bank\u2019s mutual funds and fixed income investments. In addition, these investment products have fairly high management fees in Canada, typically ranging from 2% to 3% on average. Not to mention that most mutual funds under-perform their benchmarks.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>investing online using a brokerage platform<\/strong> opens up a wide range of options and investment strategies. If you are a beginner investor, don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s very easy to invest online. Of course, self-directed investing requires more time and knowledge than investing with a financial advisor. However, with basic knowledge of the stock market, an online brokerage mobile app, and an all-in-one ETF that matches your investor profile, you can achieve higher returns than your bank\u2019s mutual funds. In the long term, the difference with the <strong>principle of compound interest<\/strong> is enormous.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;How Do I Choose an Online Brokerage Platform?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;how_do_i_choose_an_online_brokerage_platform_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>There are several online brokerage platforms available in Canada, and each one has its own features and functionalities.

Of course, investing online can seem complicated. But brokerage platforms are now designed for the general public. What&#8217;s more, all-in-one ETFs make it possible to invest passively in the stock market at low cost.<\/p>\n<p>As we\u2019ve seen in this guide, there are several online brokerage platforms available in Canada. Each has its own characteristics, so choose one to suit your needs. In particular, check fixed and negotiation costs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column el_class=&#8221;faq&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Frequently Asked Questions&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;frequently_asked_questions&#8221;][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What&apos;s the best online investment site?&#8221; open=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-placeholder-blurred=\"R\u00e9digez un contenu\" data-placeholder-focused=\"R\u00e9digez un contenu ou saisissez \u00ab \/ \u00bb pour r\u00e9diger avec l'AI+ Content\">The best online investment site depends on your financial situation and objectives.
