Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Is there any daylight between XAW and VXC? Any difference in hedging? I see the fees are similar and XAW has slightly higher distributions.
Asked by Matthew on March 04, 2025
5i Research Answer:

Both ETFs are 'world ex-Canada' and both are funds of funds. Fees are quite close and as noted XAW has a modestly higher yield. Neither ETFs utilize currency hedging from what we see. Both ETFs are quite similar. We might give XAW the slight nod here with the higher yield.
