Retiring 30% Wealthier illustrates how investing with a Questwealth Balanced Portfolio could improve your retirement savings using a hypothetical example. The Questwealth Balanced Portfolio has an annual fee of 0.41%, compared to mutual funds that have an average annual fee of 2.16% (94 comparable Class-A Canadian Global Neutral Balanced Funds). This is based on an initial investment of $30,000 and a yearly contribution of $3,000, compounded annually over 30 years. Fees may change over time and actual results may vary. No representations and warranties are made as to the reasonableness of these assumptions. Questwealth Portfolios is a service provided by Questrade Wealth Management Inc.
