ETFs
Free to buy
Buy any ETF listed on Canadian or U.S. exchanges, commission-free.
Here’s how it works:
- All Canadian and U.S. ETFs are free to buy with the Questrade IQ trading platforms
- When you’re ready to sell, you’ll pay the standard commission for the trade
- Buy ETFs whenever you like and hold them as long (or as short) as you’d like. There’s no minimums or limits on your ETF purchases.
It's that simple. No strings attached. Learn more.
Note: exchange and ECN fees may still apply.
Bonds
Zero commissions
We've eliminated the charge to buy and sell bonds and GICs. Now you'll pay no commission fees when you diversify your investment portfolio with fixed income securities.
Our new bonds website provides Questrade clients with additional resources:
- a bonds 101 page to learn more about trading bonds
- access to the daily Bonds Bulletin – a list of liquid bonds and other fixed-income securities available to trade.
