Q: Best ETF for growth oriented investors IWY or IWF?

Any ETF tracking the same indexes in Canadian dollars?

Asked by Marcela on August 06, 2025

5i Research Answer:

XSU is a Canadian traded (dollar hedged) small cap ETF. There are not a lot of great Canadian traded equivalents.

IWY is interesting, as it focus on the Top 200 companies of the Russell 2000 small cap index.

IWF focuses on the Russell 1000.

On day, small cap growth (IWO) will move, and the sector has lagged the others above quite badly for five years. But when they move, they move big. For now, we think IWY looks best of this bunch.
