Amanda (aged 28) and Bill (aged 30) have just got married. They both have full time jobs, have no children and are saving for the deposit to buy a condo. Their goal is to save a deposit 7 years from now. They currently have no debts but also no savings. They will start saving by contributing $5,000 at the end of the year for the next 7 years to reach their goal. After talking to someone who did ADMS 2541, they have decided to invest in an equity fund. The couple will choose between two different options: a Keele index fund or Steele ETF. Both funds invest in the top 200 companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
