It looks like they just redesigned their website and now the fees are gone (they were listed before in quite some detail). I might mention this to them, thanks for pointing it out. As to why I went with them, the main reasons were: 1) From <a href="http://www.clearsight.ca/aboutUs/default.aspx" rel="nofollow">their website</a>, "Unlike most full-service brokers and financial planners, our Investment Advisors do not earn an individual commission based on whether a client places a trade order." 2) Access to <a href="http://www.strategicanalysis.ca/" rel="nofollow">Strategic Analysis Corporation (SAC)</a> (Ross Healy's company) through their <a href="http://www.clearsight.ca/products/stockPortfolio.aspx" rel="nofollow">Clearsight Stock Basket</a>. 3) When I went in to meet with one of their advisors, I liked his approach.

I had never heard of them, so I clicked on the link and visited their website. Their website has hardly any details at all. I clicked on Lower Fees to see what they are, but they don't tell you. It just says lower. I don't trust companies that aren't up front about their fees. I was just curious why you went with Clearsight.
