When you put these 2 together, you essentially get the TSX. These ETFs split up the TSX into growth and value in the traditional sense. You might as well just buy XIC.
Value has the banks and a lot of the energy names. If you want value in Canada, just go to the banks directly or to one of the broad-based financial services ETFs. When you look at growth, you have SHOP and CSU and some gold/silver companies -- that's the definition of growth in Canada. If you want to be a growth investor, don't look to Canada.

XCV-T vs. XEI-T. XEI-T is a high dividend strategy. XCV-T is a value approach. XEI-T has 24% exposures to each of pipelines and banks. XCV-T has 31% in banks and oil/gas at 16% and these are the major differences. Neither one is particularly good value, but he would go for XEI-T at the moment.
