Today I'm looking to get started in ETF investing

ETFs trade on a stock exchange, so you would buy an ETF (like you would a stock) on a stock exchange through a broker such as TD Waterhouse, QTrade, QuestTrade, Investor's Edge, Scotia iTrade, BMO Investorline, RBC Direct Investing, Interactive Brokers, Credential Direct, National Bank, Disnat, HSBC Invest Direct, Virtual Brokers or any full service broker.

Exchange Traded Funds are investments that can track an index (i.e. S&P/TSX 60™ Index), commodity, or currency. They can also offer active management like a mutual fund.

ETFs trade like a stock on a stock exchange so their price fluctuates throughout the day and can be bought or sold throughout the trading day making them very liquid.

If you have less than $15,000 to invest, consider a TFSA account as most brokerages waive the annual fee on TFSA accounts. And be sure to look into a PACC (Pre authorized cash contribution) so that you can add to your ETF commission free. Please note that not all ETFs are eligible for a PACC.
