@Ray,
Hi Ray yes you can. I opened up a TFSA mutual fund account, and converted it to an e-Series account. It’s a two step proccess but it’s worth it. The interface is easy to use, and purchase funds. You just have to make sure you are actually buying the e-series fund and not the normal mutual fund — as they are named very similar

@Ray: I presume, you are asking about the ability to invest in TD e-Series index funds within a TFSA. I think you should be able to do that. I haven’t done it personally but I don’t see why not.

Hi, this is amazing! Your TD Index fund is identical to ING Direct’s new Streetwise Fund! You should sue for copyright. : )

I’m a newbie investor. Just started VERY late and am thinking of building a TD e-series Fund just like yours. Are there any fees besides the MER? Is this a good portfolio to start or do you have a better one? I’d like to go aggressive to catch up and as this is for retirement only – I’m in for 15-20 years at least.

A co-worker of a friend of mine apparently turned down his company’s RRSP plan recently. His answer was “I don’t do RRSPs.” Wacko.

It’s kind of hard to turn away money when the company matches or % matches it. That’s free money into your investment account and it’s beyond me why so many people fail to take advantage of such offers.

That’s really too bad that TD eFunds are not available to everyone. It is tempting to keep my TD RRSP open with the eFunds inside, but I really want to leave TD and I think having a good advisor now that I can talk to one-on-one will outweigh the benefits of the low MER. Besides I will be indexing using ETFs whenever possible from now on anyways (on the suggestion of my new advisor) so my MER will actually be even lower.

I wish my company had a group RRSP plan. Lucky guy…
