Save time and make investing easy

Investing can be so rewarding, but also time consuming and stressful. Passiv is here to save you time and make investing easy.

Get Started

Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world, once wisely said, “Price is what you pay, value is what you get.” After months of interacting with our early users, we put together this cheat sheet of sorts to help you get as much value from Passiv as possible. So without further ado, here are 3 ways you can get the most out of Passiv.

Manage as many accounts as possible

The most obvious way to get as much value from using Passiv is to use it to manage more than one account. Do you have a kid? If so, you could open a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) account with Questrade to take advantage of free money from the government. Here’s more information on RESPs. Do you have a significant other? Does she/he have a Questrade account? If so, you could seamlessly manage your spouse’s account with Passiv. The idea is to get the most out of Passiv by using it to manage your entire household’s investments. Let’s pretend that both you and your partner have an RRSP and TFSA, and you’ve set up an RESP for your kid. That’s 5 accounts for the price of one! Not bad, eh?

Set up recurring contributions & reinvest those dividends

Why leave your money sitting on the sidelines when it could be working hard for you? Pay yourself first by setting up recurring transfers into your brokerage account via pre-authorized deposits or online banking bill payments. It may take a day or two for the money to enter your account, but don’t worry — we’ll let you know when the money arrives. Not only will you get more out of Passiv by setting up automated contributions but you’ll also have one less item on your to-do list. Here is more information on how to set up recurring transfers.

Saving for retirement is all about forming positive investing habits. One of these habits is to reinvest your dividends while in the accumulation phase. Whenever Passiv notifies you of dividend payments, don’t hesitate to put that money back to work for you. When you log in, Passiv will have already calculated the trades for you. By consistently and quickly reinvesting dividends, you’ll grow your portfolio and reach your retirement goals faster.

Use One-click trades to save time and money

Congratulations, you’ve made your future self over 30% wealthier by not investing in high-fee mutual funds. However, it shouldn’t have to come at the cost of taking shorter lunches and spending your precious free time making trades and updating spreadsheets. Compared to other options out there, Passiv’s one-click trades feature will save you a ton of money and time, especially if you’re managing more than one investment account.
