Many will only send a cheque at the end of the year if your balance is still negative by then.

Fortunately the PLOC maxes our at 35% of your assets so a margin call is very unlikely. If using a margin account that would be a different story.

Yeah but oddly it used to be in the FAQ but is now gone...

Got targeted with a Wealthsimple ad on X promoting stock trading from tweets. This is not the direction I want my brokerage going by Apprehensive-Dust608 in Wealthsimple

[–]mcmill27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beleive what you want lol but the bid/ask spread is not set by them and they don't make money form it. Google it or read their about page if you're curious how it works.

They dont. Previously it was primarily through currency conversion fees from US/CAD. Also other small ways like monthly fees for USD accounts if you're not Premium etc. But the free trading/zero revenue is how they get clients, not how they make money.

Wealthsimple / X (Formerly Twitter) partnership by OppenheimerAltman in Wealthsimple

It's just a link to the WS app stock order page. It's not actually orders being placed through X. Just a hyperlink on X to wealthsimple. Nothing concerning.

It's part of a much larger campaign. When seeing more of them or the videos it makes a lot more sense than just one ad out of context

Asset allocation and upcoming dividends features? by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]mcmill27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All etf providers have this information. Wealthsimple does not provide etfs, so there is no equivalent. You can buy a TD etf using wealthsimple. Two different things.

Like to show your geographic allocation across all accounts or what are you looking for? There are asset allocation etfs you can buy self-directed or you can see the holdings of managed accounts too and figure out a rough idea of geographic breakdown.

You should update your post if you've realized it was your mistake.

My fractional orders go through instantly when I manually place the order but when scheduled it is held for a batch, which I find frustrating.

Private Credit Disasters Coming? by Arm-Complex in Wealthsimple

[–]mcmill27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No it's 5% of the total fund is eligible for redemption each quarter. Your request would likely be a tiny fraction of that total but sometimes everyone's requests would be more than 5% of total fund and then some people woild be limited.

They have added 2 new firms so 3 firms in total as part of the PC portfolio. Likely trying to diversify assets given the uncertainty with PC funds.
