Q: Is VFV more suitable than ZSP for US exposure in TFSA?

Asked by Hali on February 26, 2026

5i Research Answer:

No; ZSP owns stocks directly and VFV through another ETF, so ZSP is more tax-efficient in a TFSA.

Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in VFV.
