Q: I own TD International Index-e, which has been a solid low-MER performer; however, I noticed that TD now has a new ETF called TD International Equity Index ETF (TPE) which has even lower MER. Does it make sense to switch from the fund to the ETF (in registered accounts, where no capital gain would be triggered)?

Q: Peter,

Could you please advise whether ala.r still makes more sense as an investment than ala. Correct me if I've got anything wrong here: Given the share price difference between when receipts were issued ($31) and today's share price (~$25). If the WGL merger fails, one gets the $31, right? If it succeeds, one gets equivalent shares in ala which appears to be making a decent recovery in share price. Meanwhile, one collects the ~9% dividend.

The only downside I see to ala.r versus ala is that the bid/ask spread is wider (is this because it trades more thinly). In this case, do you recommend a limit order?
