Q: Good afternoon.

Would you consider XAW a good quality core holding for a TSFA.
Please provide a couple of other ETF that would compare to this.
Thanks.

5i Research Answer:

We would have little issue with this ETF. It offers 'world' exposure excluding Canada so it makes sense as a bit of a broad base of market exposure outside of Canada. VXC looks like the other main option here.
