Today we’re going to cover how you can best automate the management of your investment portfolio, while still paying the lowest possible fees. We also share best practices when it comes to sticking to your investment plan.

To help us discuss this, I have Brendan Wood on the show who is one of the founders of Passiv, a Canadian fintech company that builds tools for DIY investors.

I’m a long-time user of their tools and they've saved me many hours of tedious work when managing my portfolio. So, I thought it would be great to have him on the show especially since Canadians can now get the premium features of the tool for free.

Questions and Discussion Points Covered:

I’m excited to share how I use Passiv because it’s saved me many many hours at this point and makes checking up on my investments super convenient. But, I’m curious to hear from you how others are using it. Are there certain features or use cases that you see being used most often?
