Investment Q&A

Q: Good Morning
Am I correct that these three TD Waterhouse Savings accounts TDB8150, TDB8155, and TDB8159 are EACH separately insured to $100,000 by Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation? Even if all three are in my Cash account? I am just wanting the safest place to park cash for awhile with decent interest.
Thanking you........ Paul K

Q: To purchase this fund, a warning appears saying TD my receive a trailing commission. They refer you to the offering documents, but i cannot find clarification on this trailing commission. Can you please clarify for me.

Q: Wondering how money market funds, such as TDB8159, are taxed. Is it considered dividend, or interest income? If it is dividend income, would it be eligible, or non-eligible. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i Team

Further to questions on parking cash, all the discount brokerages offer "High Interest Savings Account" mutual funds which are CDIC insured deposit accounts for the various subsidiaries of the bank.
Each of these is insured to $100k under CDIC, therefore you are able to segregate $400k under CDIC insurance in one brokerage account.
I am most familiar with RBC Direct Investing and TD Direct Investing, each offer 4 separate subsidiary companies with CDIC coverage. Other discount brokerages may only offer 1 option. A list is available on-line at:

The benefit of using these in your brokerage account are having cash available for other security purchases and the value is included for calculating available margin (loan value). The interest is paid monthly and can be reinvested automatically.
Thanks
