Top reasons why we are the largest and most preferred provider for RESPs
A Management Expense Ratio (MER) is the fee structure used in all RESPs invested in mutual funds.
This can be a difficult fee to find, but it is important to know so you understand the impact it has on your return. It is a non-negotiable fee and is charged yearly on the whole amount in the fund. This third party video will speak more about it in detail if required.
The standard MER% charged at most banks and financial institutions are between 1.6% and 2.5%. This graph shows the fees paid if saving $100 per month for a newborn baby and receiving a 5% rate of return.
