I am not referring to TD MFs, which like you said, is minimum $100. Non-TD MFs are minimum $1,000 per transaction.jeffyjaixx wrote: ↑ TDDI has their own e-series MF's that I bought in the past. Minimum buy is $100, why does TDDI need you to buy $1,000 per transaction?
The minimum is set by TD. Any non-TD MF (so RBC, Scotia, BMO, CIBC, other FI MFs...) will have a per purchase minimum of $1,000. It's stupid that TDDI doesnt mention this, the trx just wont go through unless the amount is more than $1,000xgbsSS wrote: ↑ Did you check whether that minimum is a rule set by TD or CIBC?
For instance, minimum for CIB502 is $500. This is set by CIBC. Perhaps TD sets a minimum purchase rule for outside mutual funds, but that isn't generally a set rule because the brokerage wants the commission.
The TD e-Series are minimum $100 on CIBC IE too. So my guess is it has to do with the fund, not TD
CIBC doesn't offer Series D on their house mutual funds
I don't think you will have better luck with CIBC, unless you are thinking stock purchases, then CIBC IE might be better. You can reply here or PM me for details on a specific fund you are looking at as I have CIBC IE now and can check for you
Yes, the $1,000 still applies to subsequent investment. I actually have to call and talk to an investment manager to confirm as the DI rep has no clue why the purchases werent going through.
Thanks, will probably give up on this idea.
Initial purchase has to be $500 or more, after that, $25 minimum. Only when you buy through normal online banking, if you buy through IE, it has to be $500 each purchase.wakka2u wrote: ↑ is there a minimum buy through your CIBC branch financial advisor? Ie start-up a monthly automatic contribution? $1000 minimum per transaction sounds a little high for bank mutual funds when their MERs tend to be high and not everyone has minimum $1000 to do per transaction.

Source: https://www.onlinebrokerage.cibc.com/ob ... ct2016.pdfWith the exception of CIBC funds, there is a $1,000 minimum initial investment for all mutual fund orders (unless a higher minimum is set by the mutual fund company). For CIBC mutual fund orders, the minimum investment is $500.
I have further clarified the above with a CIBC investment fsr. CIBC MF subsequent purchases are only minimum $25 when you go on a pap. A manual purchase will always be $500 minimum.angel_wing0 wrote: ↑ Even for CIBC MF, it is $500 per transaction. So probably all the subsequent investments on the fund profile are for buying through normal cibc online banking buying and not through CIBC IE. IE is a terrible place to buy MF indeed as @macy69 said!
I wouldn't agree with "terrible", it depends on your needs. IE is a winner in a couple of aspects, which happen to be very important to me:angel_wing0 wrote: ↑ Even for CIBC MF, it is $500 per transaction.

Those are indeed good stuff, especially the extended cutoff time. Might really open one as there are a few good CIB MFs that I want to buy and not looking to buy 1k every purchase.yvrbanker wrote: ↑ - Cut-off time for mutual funds order on the same day is 4pm ET. None of other brokerages have that, to my knowledge. It's typically 3pm ET...
- No restrictions / fees on early redemption of mutual funds by IE. (The fund companies still impose fees.) It's not something I am planning, but if I happen to redeem early, I'd rather not pay a fee to the broker on top of 2% fine to the mutual funds company.
Some more observations on how it works at IE. (Just my impression. Not an official info.)angel_wing0 wrote: ↑ Those are indeed good stuff, especially the extended cutoff time.
Are those funds CIBC MF or other bank's MF, or both? And that also caught my attention actually. Are you allowed to switch a CIBC fund to another FI's fund directly without going through sell/buy on IE? TDDI cannot do that online (don't know about phone).yvrbanker wrote: ↑ There are some limitations in IE, such as for switching particular mutual funds that have a 4-digit number in their symbol (not all, depends on "from" and "to" funds). Had to call in for those. It wasn't a problem for outright purchase or redemption transactions.
It shouldn't affect the funds you mentioned (such as CIB502) as those have only 3-digit numbers.
The limitations I encountered were with another bank's MF. You cannot switch between MFs of different issuers directly at any broker. Dealers/brokers and fund companies use a centralized online system for orders, so that kind of limitation will be everywhere.angel_wing0 wrote: ↑ Are those funds CIBC MF or other bank's MF, or both?

It's not just TDDI, it's the same with IE/iTrade (havent tried bmo/rbc, but likely the same). As long as we are not buying their own MFs, minimum $1k every purchase.dmehus wrote: ↑ TL;dr, but in response to @xgbsSS et al. who answered in similar ways, am I understanding correctly that @angel_wing0's issue is that TDDI has a minimum purchase transaction amount for non-TDAM mutual funds? @xgbsSS rightly does note individual mutual fund purchase amounts, which may be lower than $1,000, but each distributor may also have their own minimums.
I'm not certain which MFs you're wanting to buy @angel_wing0, but at any rate, CIBC Investor's Edge is one of the top 5 discount brokerages I'd consider using if I didn't deal with Scotia iTRADE. I love the look of their platform—it's modern, yet has an old fashioned look and feel to it that is intuitive and just makes sense. Not sure if they allow online enrollment in DPPs/DRIPs like Scotia iTRADE, but they, presumably, have decent enough customer service, lower commissions than Scotia iTRADE, access to research that is comparable to or better than Scotia iTRADE, and your assets will qualify for the CIBC Smart Plus Account, should you be so inclined. In short, any time people are migrating away from Canada's worst discount brokerage, TDDI, they have my full support.
Cheers,
Doug
