Built for how Canadians invest
TFSA contribution room is limited — every ETF choice inside it matters. RRSP allocation affects retirement; structured research beats annual guesswork. FHSA adds another tax-advantaged vehicle to think about alongside your other registered accounts.
Canadian discount brokers (Questrade, Wealthsimple Trade, TD Direct) give you execution. Cognitor gives you an independent research layer on a fixed 40 US-listed ETF universe; each week, SENIOR focuses on the tickers most relevant for that scenario — names that often sit inside global equity sleeves, mapped from popular TSX-listed funds (XIU, VCN, XAW, ZSP, VFV, XEQT, VEQT, ZAG, etc.).
Cognitor does not custody assets, route orders, or sell bank products. You trade where you already bank or broker; you research here.
Your research layer: Panel, SENIOR, PRIME
One auditable protocol each week — same engine US and Australian investors use.
Layer 1 — Panel
Six specialists evaluate the weekly scenario against the same 40 US-listed ETFs independently — macro, tech & risk, geopolitics, emerging markets, fundamentals, market psychology. The dossier deep-dives the edition's selected tickers.
Layer 2 — SENIOR
Five independent verdict pipelines review the Panel output for the week's focused ETF set. Agreement and tension are both visible.
Layer 3 — PRIME
Synthesis with a fixed protocol for that edition: consensus, divergence map, risk flags — comparable Friday to Friday.

Canadian journeys
TFSA, RRSP, and whole-book mapping — same underlying weekly dossier on US-listed tickers.
TFSA ETF research
Limited contribution room — make each tax-free dollar count with structured weekly context.
Tax-free growth rewards good research geometrically; bad picks forfeit that edge inside the same room.

Decades of tax-deferred compounding — align ETF sleeves with long-horizon evidence, not headlines.
The ETFs inside your RRSP will meet your retirement date; independent lenses reduce narrative drift.

All-in-ones, wrappers, and US sleeves — map sleeves to the monitored US-listed universe; weekly depth follows the edition’s selection.
XEQT, VEQT, XAW, and direct US names can all be tied back to the 40-ticker universe Cognitor monitors; each week, SENIOR focuses on the tickers relevant for that scenario.

Representative tickers Canadians often map from TSX-listed or all-in-one funds. Each card opens an overview page. Informational only — not a recommendation.
