Q: I am looking to simplify the management of my RRSP and my wife’s RRSP by shifting from stocks to ETFs. I’m thinking that it would be easiest to manage if I have 1 ETF for Canadian Equities, 1 for US equities, 1 for International Equities and 1 for bonds/ fixed income.

We have a 10-15 year time horizon so ETFs with a growth orientation would be preferred.

Thanks
Greg

5i Research Answer:

While there are specifically growth-focused ETFs, we think if one is using an all-equity portfolio (for three of four ETFs) then enough growth is embedded anyway. For a 'one stop shop' we would suggest:

Canadian: XIC

US: VFV

International: VIU

Bonds: XBB
