Q: Which one do you prefer?

Asked by David C. on November 29, 2024

5i Research Answer:

They are essentially identical, except for the Canadian dollar hedge on XSP. Five year return is about 3 percentage points higher on XUS, because of the weak Canadian dollar. We prefer unhedged produts, and would side with XUS.
