Q: You recently recommended US/CA equities at 65%/35%. With US ETFs and CDRs I am only at 20% US. I am considering significantly increasing my holdings of HXS, VFV, and HXQ to make up the shortfall of 45% US. Do you see any downside to this approach?
5i Research Answer:
Keep in mind this was a general guideline only, and each investor needs to set geographic allocation to their own goals. But we would be comfortable certainly with the ETFs noted for US exposure. Note HXS and VFV do follow the same index.
Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in VFV.
