Thanks for clarifying the MER claim, as I did realize the distinction beforehand, not knowing if the provider was omitting fees (like F-class MFs where the portfolio manager subs in the account management in lieu of trailer fees). Didn't occur to me that the TER was likely the culprit, and totally agree that only the full MER gives a true cost picture.

Thanks for the link, but let-the-buyer-beware seems most appropriate. Usually pretty easy to diss Mr Pape's pieces, without the depth of research the contributors to the forum have provided to this one.
