I have parted ways with my advisor & his company & have transferred to BMO investorline.I am slowly going to do my own research & rebuild my portfolio with low cost MER mutual funds, ETF's & possibly some blue chip stocks to go along with my RRSP GIC's.Do any of the retirement guru's on this forum have any favourite funds that I could research & form my own opinion on?I like several of the Mawer funds,along with their low fees.I cross reference my funds that I am interested in on Morningstar & Globe & Mail website to see their history.These site give a lot of info.I am looking for a 4-6 % average yield.Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

No guru here, but you might look at the latest recommendations for the "couch potato formula". There is usually something about it on the moneysense site.

Besides Moneysense, there is lots of information on finiki, e.g. http://www.finiki.org/wiki/Por.....portfolios and on Canadian Couch Potato http://canadiancouchpotato.com//

Realistically, one can have a complete portfolio with 3 very low cost ETFs, or even just 2 if you limit yourself to Canada. A perfect portfolio can be extremely simple.
