Plus, if you ever need it, you won't have to liquidate other assets like equities and bonds thus avoiding commission fees etc. Keep in mind that “Cash is not Trash” and it’s a wise move to keep at least 5% in your RRSP just in case.

Most institutions will charge upwards of $100 to transfer the RRSP. So it is important to pick the institution and investment type carefully!

Invest It: Index Funds or ETFs</strong>. I've also written numerous articles on ING's Streetwise offering, which are linked into this section. :) I am a huge fan of Index Funds and ETFs. Which is why I wrote this statement above: <em>I truly believe tracking an index is the most cost effective and wisest way to invest one’s dollars. Simply put, you cannot underperform an index and this form of passive investing keeps costs low.</em> I write about mutual funds in the second part of this article since some people don't want to index, for whatever reason. I hope this helps. :) Tony A.A.: ING’s Streetwise Funds are mentioned under point 1. Invest It: Index Funds or ETFs.

It was a good read nonetheless. Thanks! I am a little confused why you didn’t recommend ING’s Streetwise Fund for RSP investing knowing that is has lower fees (1%) than 2 of your recommendations.
