services, such as the firm's website, retirement products and services,
research offerings and its extensive branch network, to successfully build and
manage an investment portfolio.

agency Cossette Post, targets self-reliant, confident investors and began
appearing nationally in print and on television January 7th.

there to help with their investment decisions, the majority of our customers
ultimately want to be in the driver's seat when it comes to their portfolio,"
said Chris Armstrong, Chief Marketing Officer of TD Bank Financial Group, of
which TD Waterhouse is a part.  "Our campaign reflects TD Waterhouse's ability
to provide investors with all the tools and services they need to manage their
portfolio, so they truly feel in control."
