Trading on the TSX isn’t complicated. Here are a few steps to help you get started investing:
- First, you’ll need a brokerage account. If you don’t already have one, you can see our top picks for Canadian brokers here.
- Next, you’ll want to load funds into your account. You can add as much or as little as you can manage. The important part is that you start with something!
- Research the type of investments you want to buy. Stock investing isn’t one-size-fits all. You can buy stocks directly, or, if you want to take a passive approach, you can buy a fund (which essentially chooses them for you).
- Purchase your investments. This is the fun part! Submit a trade order for your stocks or funds of choice.
- Invest consistently over time. Most beginning investors assume they need a large lump sum to invest in stocks, but that’s not true. What you need is the dedication to invest frequently and consistently, over a long period of time. That way, you can take advantage of the power of compound interest to build your wealth.
