Toronto-based Optimize.ca has launched a new service intended to provide individuals with online financial advice, particularly regarding mutual funds and other banking products. The company plans to generate revenue through advertising and by finding users better performing mutual funds and other banking products. "Although largely gone unnoticed, Canadians are paying thousands of dollars each year in unnecessary investing and banking fees which Optimize.ca plans to expose and eliminate," said Matthew McGrath, president and CEO of Optimize. "When trailer fees and other commissions have been removed from the equation and replaced with a robust and free online software platform aimed at saving individuals money, investors are assured of our intentions."
