Q: I have U.S. dollars to invest and am looking for an ex- North America fund like VIU which you often suggest. How about VXUS? Can you suggest a better option? It has a 3% divided yield and an mer of .05%?

Thank you during these times of tumult.

5i Research Answer:

We like VXUS a lot and would fully endorse it. We often suggest VIU as many of our customers prefer Canadian-traded ETFs. But VXUS has a lower MER (VIU is 0.22%).
