Q: What US equity ETF do you suggest for a very long time horizon (I’m in my 20s so likely will keep investing for decades)?

Earlier this year I had been adding to RSP since most of the gains were concentrated in the Mag 7. With the market having broadened out a bit, I’m not sure if I should keep adding to RSP or if I’m better off investing new money in VOO (or VTI).

Which of the 3 ETFs (RSP, VOO, VTI) would you expect to have the best long-term total return?

Q: What do you think of Blackrock’s new Long-Term US Equity ETF (BELT)? It is actively managed so a higher fee but maybe a nice way to diversify the growth portion of one’s portfolio? Or would you recommend sticking with VOO and QQQ? I notice you have also recommended VUG lately. Thanks!

Q: Looking at ETF SPYG for my $US Acct. Holdings are sub-set (about 228) of S&P 500 said to have better growth. MER=0.04%.

Appears similar to VOO, VUG, MER also similar. Looking for growth, not income. For 3-5 year hold, Please comment on SPYG and compare to the two Vanguard ETFs.

Thank you,

Q: Hoping you could suggest an ETF portfolio for an RRSP account with a minimum 12 years until withdrawals are made. The account is starting from scratch.
Thanks

Q: VFV vs. VOO:
I understand VFV ETF contains VOO ETF, correct? What would you recommend, buy VFV in CDN $ account, or convert CDN$ cash in US$ cash using Norbit gambit and buy VOO in US account with US$? Any other recommendation for ETF to invest in US S&P500?

Q: Hello - for my RIF- I have done well with VOO over the last year or so and am wondering if this is a good time to move to a different ETF such as RSP or IWP. My thinking is if the US economy does avoid a recession and the rally broadens, then maybe there will be more growth somewhere other than VOO. Your comments and suggestions please.
Thanks, al
