Description

Make the big banks work for you, not against you!

You work hard. You sacrifice to save. You risk your money in the market over your working lifetime and you trust your bank to treat you fairly. But your bank strips away half of your lifetime investment returns in fees, costing you tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of dollars. Without realizing it, millions of Canadians are in precisely this position.

How does the industry pull this off? The big Canadian bank, and by extension our entire financial industy, brilliantly capitalize on the combination of individual investors' poor understanding of fees, deep loyalty, and misplaced trust by charging Canadians the highest investment fees in the world. There is a better way!

Larry Bates, a former senior banker and investment industry insider turned investor advocate, reveals industry secrets and tactics that most hard-working, hard-saving Canadians need to be aware of to beat the banks at their own game.

Provides a step-by-step guide to investing that slashes banking fees and can potentially double investment returns.

Shows how to build a larger retirement nest egg by switching from high-cost mutual funds to more efficient, low-cost investment products.

Outlines a simple approach to investing that takes just a few hours each year to implement.
Offers the knowledge and tools to achieve the long-term investing success you and your family deserve.

Beat the Bank proves that you don't need to be an expert to invest successfully . . . you just need to know the basics. It's easy when you know how!
