Q: With respect to Canadian or US mortgage ETF, what 2 ETFs would you suggest I investigate more or are there 2 large cap stocks in Cda and US?.....Thanks for the assistance.....Tom

Asked by Tom on March 11, 2025

5i Research Answer:

For general sector exposure, ETFs are safer and more diversified. VMBS and MBB can be suggested for the US. In Canada, there is not much choice: ZMBS is an MBS ETF; VRE/ZRE could be used for general real estate.
