How many companies does BMO have that offer ISA's. Can someone list them.
Or is BMT104 the only ISA that BMO has.
If you are concerned about CDIC coverage, how many BMO entities are there that offer ISA's

Three each of CAD (BMT104/BMT109/BMT114) and USD series, from BMO, BMMC, BM Trustco respectively. I have no issue with being way over CDIC limits with any of the big 5 banks and only invest in 1 of the offerings.

The advantage is that the 4.35% per annum from the BMO ISA's is real. The 4.5% from 30-day Government of Canada treasury bills is not after one adds in the commissions.

The CDIC issuers and FundServ codes are listed in these two documents:

BMO HISA Terms & Conditions

All MM should have higher rate compared to ISA.

Not that great, 4.63% - 0.24% MER = 4.39%

only 0.04% better than DYN6000

The Feb 24 rate of 4.63% rate is net of all expenses.

January 2023 month performance of 0.37% compounded for 12 months results in 4.5%. Short term interest rates are rising. Repeating the effort for February 2023 data will result in ~4.6%

Norman1, love these tables. Any chance we could convince you to do Series F ones as well, or add them? I'm finding them a great place to temporarily park money in my registered accounts at Qtrade.

As a playground for some programming tools, I've got some code that retrieves and stores ISA rates from the various websites (unfortunately, BMO rates don't seem to be available except to logged-in InvestorLine customers). I might set it up to run automatically and create a webpage at some point; if I do, I'll post a link here.

To get the yield for the F, just take the rates on Norman’s table for the A series and add 15bps, we don’t need another column nor table for that.

The A-series commission can vary from company to company; some are 15bps, others not (RBC and NBC are 25bps, for example).

ok. I will rephrase, add 15-25bps. A max 10bps diff (talking about $100 on $100k for a full 12 months) is trivial plus most can not access the F series unless you are their direct customer in most cases anyway.
