Q: I currently have ~$170K of VOO in my RRSP, up 45%. I notice that ZSP and VFV have better returns. Would it be worth it to sell VOO and go to ZSP/VFV?
5i Research Answer:
We would prefer to stick with VOO; the better returns reflect the fast that the Canadian listed ETFs show returns after currency conversion, and VOO does not. The C$ has been weak and this is thusly not reflected in returns for VOO but Canadian investors still get the benefit in their accounts.
Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in VFV.
