I could use a little guidance with a mutual fund changeover.


My brokerage [CIBC Investors Edge] in Canada has informed me that “there will be a planned transition of mutual fund units to fund classes or series where no trailing commission (“zero trailer funds”) is paid by the fund manager to CIBC Investor’s Edge” – because of regulatory changes.

My current fund is a monthly income fund but i need to switch to something that has higher growth potential, and i'm willing to manage some higher risk. It will be for the longer term; about 5-10 years, and i'm not looking to manage it.

I'm looking at a few index funds that track either the Nasdaq 100 or the S&P 500. Not really sure where to go with it as i play the market a little and the fund is just for year over year accumulation. I was given a list by the brokerage and was looking at:

CIBC NASDAQ 100 INDEX FUND F

TD NASDAQ INDEX FUND E

INVESCO NASDAQ 100 INDEX ETF [QQC/F:CN]

FIDELITY HIGH QUALITY INDEX ETF FUND SERIES F

There's also some S&P 500 index funds and a thousand other miscellaneous – i would appreciate any ideas – and of course i will research and make a decision myself. I'm an old rock musician with no pension so i need to try to grow my little nest egg as much as possible over the next 10 years. Thanks

Here's a link to the available funds: LIST OF FUNDS
