Q: Good morning,
I currently own HXS and HXT in most of my RESP/TFSA/RRIF and NON - REGISTERED accounts.
In completing an annual performance review of my family portfolio, I noticed that the difference in calendar year performance between HXS and HXS.U is quite significant. In fact for 2024 the calendar year performance of HXS was 35.04% while the calendar year performance of the HXS.U was 24.48%.
I assume that most of the difference can be attributed to the difference between the Can $ and US $.

Q1. If one believes that the CDN$ will remain depressed compared to the US$ for the foreseeable future, which version of these Global X ETFs, do you recommend holding in RESP/TFSA/RRIF accounts where taxes are not an issue.

Q2. Which type of accounts (RESP/RRIF/TFSA/Non-Registered) stand to benefit the most from holding these Total Return ETFs and in what order?

Thank you and I'll await your response.

Francesco

Q: Awhile back I asked a question about the Horizon etf's , which pay in capital gains, rather than dividends. You were good enough to supply me with HXS and HXT. The HXS is the S&P 500. But, it is bought in Canadian dollars. I didn't mention it but I was looking for one that could be bought and sold in US dollars. Is there something from Horizon that can do that? Or, from another company?
thanks for the great service

Q: Is there an equivalent to HXS in USD? If not, which ETF would be similar with no dividends?

Thanks for your service!
