However, please note that if you withdraw funds from your TFSA account prior to the 180 day hold period, the amount withdrawn will be deducted from your net deposit total and may result in a reduction of your bonus.

All investments involve the risk of loss, and the past performance of a security or a financial product does not guarantee future results or returns.

These risks are to be assumed by the client. Clients should consider the investment objectives and unique risk profile of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) carefully before investing. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of other diversified portfolios.
