You have also more choices than just the 3 streetwises Funds from ING Direct. Their saving account is at 3.05%, compared to 2,7% at ING (Nov 28, 2008). PCFS also offer a free chequing account. So, I'm not a big fan of ING anymore. PC Financial MER is aroud 0.88%-0.86% for the Canadian Index fund. You have also more choices than just the 3 streetwises Funds from ING Direct.
