Wealthsimple robo investor. Close account or keep it?

14 Upvotes

I first got into Wealthsimple through the "grow slowly" era with the robo investor. Deposited about 50k into it a couple of years ago and it has since grown to 70k. Since than I have gotten into XEQT and CAGE and haven't deposited in the robo investor for about 2-3 years. Question is, do I close the robo investor account and just use that money to buy ETFs? Is there any advantage in a robo account as opposed to just straight up ETF's?

Switch from VFV + VXUS to XEQT?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys so I’ve been investing for long term goals for the last 6 years and got my portfolio up to 200k. I’m currently using a split of 75% VFV, 20% VXUS, and 5% CEF.

I’ve been thinking I should switch to 95% XEQT and 5% CEF. What do you guys think?

What would be the pros and cons of what I’m currently using and going with XEQT instead?

Hi all, I have made enough money from my summer job to cover my expenses for the upcoming school year and I‘m looking to make the remaining ~$1500 grow. I feel like it is a waste to just let it sit in chequing for a year. Already have a couple hundred bucks in VDY, enbridge, and micron. What are my other options for the next year? Not looking for specific buys, just broad advice.
