Q: My daughter is planning to start a new TFSA (full $88K) and contemplating the following:
Option#1, Autopilot All in one global index fund, such as XEQT or VEQT.
Option#2, All in Canadian equity index fund, such as XIU or XIC added to XEQT or VEQT.
Option#3, 5i favourite picks, such as BN, GSY, DSG, TFII, TOI and WSP .
Please advise which option is best for a buy and hold long term TFSA investment or suggest a better alternate. Thank you. Bill.

Q: Which do you prefer and why. HXT seems to have better performance over time. Is there a particular reason?

Thx

Yves

Q: Hi there,

With both ETFs tracking the same index, why with a much higher MER does XIU get so much more volume? Is it because of how long the ETF has been out? I'm a bit surprised to see even with that, VCE hasn't taken in more volume than it has over time as it's not new and the MER is much less. Both are from equally reputable companies also.

Thanks!
