I park the initial contribution and
the CESG in a money market fund, which I then liquidate and buy four funds according to my asset allocation target (TD Canadian Bond Index eFund: 20 %, TD Canadian Index eFund: 20 %, TD US Index eFund: 35 %, TD International Index eFund: 25 %).
Not exact matches
In the CIBC RESP,
CESGs earned on plan contributions are paid monthly and deposited directly to CIBC
Money Market Fund.
The
CESG is deposited into the account
in a
money market fund and can be used to rebalance the portfolio, say once every year.
Every other month (or so), the account should have enough contributions plus
CESG payments
in the
money market fund to switch into other e-Series mutual
funds.
If you opted to park your
CESG payments
in the TD
Money Market Fund, do not forget to switch into other
funds based on your asset allocation.
I'll mention that setting up a PPP for each of the e-Series
fund purchase, letting the
CESG accumulate
in a
Money Market fund and use it to rebalance the portfolio every few months.
One other point I should mention is that «switching» from the
Money Market fund, once sufficient
CESG grant has been accumulated
in that
fund, to an e-series
fund is not considered a pre-authorized purchase, and a minimum purchase of $ 100 of a
fund is required.
This generates $ 15 / month
in CESG, which TD allows me to park
in the Cdn
Money Market fund.
