Our verdict on each
Justwealth
Justwealth suits Canadian investors who want a managed ETF portfolio handled for them and accept a high starting balance. A management fee of 0.5% sits above the robo-advisor median of 0.35%, and the minimum investment of CAD 5,000 is the real barrier for most readers here.
Nest Wealth
Nest Wealth is a Canadian robo-advisor for households wanting a managed, ETF-based portfolio rather than self-directed trading. A management fee of 0.35% keeps the running cost modest, while the account fee of CAD 60 to CAD 1,800 and the CAD 1,000 entry level set it apart from cheaper automated options.

Pros and cons
Justwealth
Pros
- A single management fee of 0.5% covers the managed account, so the ongoing cost is easy to compare.
- Portfolio styles cover etf and esg, giving a plain ETF option and an ESG tilt.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so help is available by phone and email as well as in the help centre.
Cons
- The minimum investment of CAD 5,000 sits far above the robo-advisor median of €60.06, which rules out readers investing smaller amounts.
- The management fee of 0.5% ranks 30 of 49 brands on our data, so price is not its strongest point.
- Markets are ETFs (etfs) and the account type listed is corporate (corporate), so the service is narrower than a general investment platform.
Nest Wealth
Pros
- A management fee of 0.35% sits under the robo-advisor median of 0.4%
- The CAD 1,000 minimum is below the robo-advisor median of €60.06
- Portfolios cover etf for a hands-off approach
Cons
- An account fee of CAD 60 to CAD 1,800 sits on top of the management fee
- The CAD 1,000 minimum is well above the $100 entry point
- Support runs on email and help centre only
Who each suits
Justwealth
Who it suits
- Canadian savers with a lump sum who want an ETF portfolio picked and rebalanced for them.
- Anyone who can clear the CAD 5,000 minimum and prefers a single ongoing charge of 0.5%.
- Readers who want phone and email help (email, phone and help centre) rather than a chat-only desk.
Who should look elsewhere
- Small savers: Axos Invest asks for $100 to start, a fraction of what Justwealth asks for.
- Readers after no management charge: eToro lists 0% where Justwealth charges 0.5%.
- Shoppers comparing account pricing: Vivid Standard's fees run 0.5% to 1.5%, a different structure from one portfolio charge.
Nest Wealth
Who it suits
- Households that would rather hold a managed portfolio than place trades
- Investors who can commit at least CAD 1,000 to get started
- People who prefer ETF portfolios of etf
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting to pick and place trades, since the account covers etfs only
- Buyers starting small, because the CAD 1,000 minimum is high next to the alternatives
- eToro, Vivid Standard and Axos Invest readers after a 0% or a wider fee choice

Questions about each
Justwealth
How much does Justwealth cost?+
Justwealth charges a single management fee of 0.5% on the managed account. Portfolios are built from ETFs rather than individual shares (etfs), so the ongoing charge is the main cost line to compare against other robo-advisors, and there is no per-trade decision to make.
What is the minimum I need to start?+
You need a minimum investment of CAD 5,000 to open an account. That sits well above the robo-advisor median of €60.06 and above the €560.82 mark that most brands stay under, so smaller savers are ruled out early.
Nest Wealth
What does Nest Wealth charge?+
The management fee is 0.35% and the account fee is CAD 60 to CAD 1,800, both in Canadian dollars. Neither is a per-trade commission, so the cost follows the size of the portfolio you hold.
Is there a minimum investment?+
Yes, the minimum investment is CAD 1,000. That sits below the robo-advisor median of €60.06 on the site, so the entry point is not the highest in the category.
