The Single Best Equity ETF for Canadians
Posted: Thu Aug 08, 2019 4:26 pm
Earlier this year Vanguard launched a global "all-in-one" equity ETF for Canadians.
Believe it or not, despite all the years Vanguard has been in my domestic market, this is really the first of its kind here.
The fund has a management fee of 22 basis points and holds the following underlying allocations:
39.7% - Vanguard US Total Market Index ETF
30.1% - Vanguard FTSE Canada All Cap Index ETF
22.8% - Vanguard FTSE Developed All Cap ex North America Index ETF
7.4% - Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets All Cap Index ETF

Several other all equity ETFs over the years have come close to being perfect in our market, but this is the first one that really fits the bill. If you like keeping the equity portion of your PP separate from the other assets, I honestly can't think of a better option.
Every other option previous to this one always had some kind of flaw. It would always be a fund that, say, held only ex-Canada, or had an expense ratio that was too high, or didn't include emerging markets.
I've already put a little bit of new money into this one.
