Is there a Canadian economic equivalent for the US IEFA ETF in Canada? Would either XEF or XEF.U qualify?
Thank you, Michael

Q: Which of these three ETFS do you prefer if I was to pick one? I have 25% of my portfolio in USD Equity ETFS so already have some currency diversification.

Q: I have the above (ZBK, CJP, VEE, XFH) ETF's making up part of my portfolio in order to gain exposure to international markets and US bank growth as a result of tax cuts, rising interest rates and deregulation. I'm wondering whether i should be making any switches to other ETF's that would be giving me a better overall return (given currency, growht profile, MER, concentration etc.)...or would you switch nothing?
