Paying low commissions to order growth stocks and exchange-traded funds is possible because of
ShareOwner's unique Co-operative (Co-op) Investing Service. |
How Co-op Investing Works
Investors make their choice of securities from ShareOwner's list of:
 |
Pre-screened Canadian and U.S. growth stocks; and, |
|
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) that represent stock market indexes
from around the world. |
| |
|
Co-operative Trades
ShareOwner combines all orders – to buy or sell a security
– into one Co-op order that is executed on the security's
principal stock exchange.
Buyers pay, and sellers receive, the same average price paid (or
received) for all shares included in the Co-op order.
For example, one week of orders to buy or sell Home Depot shares are accumulated
and combined into a single Co-op trade, every Thursday. The somewhat less-popular
shares of Johnson & Johnson are traded once a month – on the
fourth Wednesday.
Investors participate in a Co-op trade by providing ShareOwner with
online instructions:
| |
(1) |
to buy, with cash in their investment account
or with an electronic funds transfer from a bank; or, |
| |
(2) |
to sell, and deposit the proceeds into their
investment account or receive a cheque. |
| |
|

Dollar-based Orders
Co-op trading lets an investor purchase a single security or a
diversified portfolio with convenient dollar amounts, such as ... $100
... $500 … $1,000,
instead of often-expensive board lots of 100 shares.
Busy, self-reliant investors enjoy additional convenience by setting up
automatic withdrawals from a chequeing account – every 1, 2 or 3
months – to buy a diversified portfolio (or single security) with
an amount that easily fits their cash flow. |
