Q: Which one do you prefer and why?
Asked by David M. on January 29, 2025
5i Research Answer:

Both are total market ETFs and both gain the exposure through holding other ETFs. Performance is very similar as are the exposures so it is hard to really choose between the two. VUN is a bit larger and only holds one other fund, where XUU holds a few different funds for the exposure, so for simplicity we might side with VUN but again, both are very similar.
