Q: VFIAX. What is so unique about this US fund?

Why is it unavailable in Canada?

Is there a similar one for Canada or in the US?

Thank you.

Asked by Ross on July 31, 2025

5i Research Answer:

US mutual funds are not available in Canada due to differences in regulatory requirements. There is nothing unique about VFIAX, it is a basic S&P 500 mutual fund. ZSP in Canada would be an equivalent.
