Q: Non-resident tax, I'm considering to reduce my percentage of U.S. contents gradually, since nobody knows what to expect from donald...
Hopefully, this eventual new tariff policy wouldn't affect RSSP .
As you notice, some of the ETF posted are all U.S, companies in the case of XHY and NHYB, they both are mainly Bonds or gvt.Bonds,how tariff could affect the two.?

Thanks again to the team
