The TD Direct research gap
Bank-owned platforms bundle execution with house research and partner content. Cognitor adds six blind-to-each-other specialist analyses and five SENIOR deliberations — then PRIME maps agreement and tension. No fund shelf, no order flow.
- Useful when your ETF book spans Canadian-listed wrappers and US-listed names — one weekly protocol for the US-listed layer Cognitor covers.
ETFs in the Cognitor universe
The fixed universe is ~40 US-listed ETFs—not the whole market. Each weekly dossier focuses on the subset selected for that week's scenario (deep research with theses, validations, and invalidations). The Panel still grounds the process in the full universe scan. Below are examples TD Direct Investing investors often hold or can map from their menu; each card opens that ticker's overview page. Inclusion is informational, not a buy or sell recommendation.
Examples below are US-listed tickers in Cognitor’s weekly dossier. Canadian-listed wrappers (VFV, ZSP, XAW, etc.) often map to similar economic exposure — use for narrative read-through, not tick-for-tick replication.
How it fits your workflow
- Step 1 — Export or note the US-listed tickers in your TD Direct book that appear in Cognitor’s weekly set.
- Step 2 — Read Friday’s dossier before changing weights in registered accounts.
- Step 3 — Keep statements and orders in TD; keep research timestamps in Cognitor.
