Hi New desi in Town,

You are correct.

Re self- directed account- TD might be charging a yearly fee to keep the accounts, not sure. Please do check it out.

To avoid these fees should there be one, best to direct your RESPs thru a financial advisor who does these RESPs all front end at no cost to you.

Unless of course you are contemplating GICs, even then a finacial advisor can help you get better rates than the bank.

If TD does not charge a fee- then TD mutual funds are dash good, their GIC rates are not the best.

There's no fee for e accounts.

It's better than trailer fees to financial advisors which is a cost to the plan.
