A fantastic blog. Keep it up. Here's a subject that interests many; how to buy & sell everything, like music on interest free credit; pay whenever you want.

Great clarification. The reason I choose the mutual funds which track the indexes instead of the ETFs is obvious. Comissions! I’m buying these mutual funds on a bi-weekly basis with my RRSP contributions.

However, I am considering ETFs for investments outside of my retirement portfolio.

Here’s how I did it:
1. Go to http://www.globefund.com
2. Click on Fund Filter
3. Change Load Type to “No load”
4. Change Include Index Funds to “Index Funds”
5. Hit Go
6. Click on the Key Facts tab.
7. Click on the MER% header.

Now you have all the funds sorted by lowest MER. Disregard the iUnits ETFs (you can easily see that they have no minimum investment), and everything else is a mutual fund.

TD is the cheapest

You should look at more than just expense ratios and returns. Some actively managed funds only capture 50-75% of the upside of their benchmarks but do so with a very low beta.
