Vanguard S&P 500-CAD Hedged, VSP-T

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He hasn't sold a single share for years, just keeps buying it. Hold on. Has it in all his portfolios.

BUY

Great product for investors. Will get exposure to S&P 500. Border line "free" management expenses. Good option for long term investors. Would highly recommend this product.

BUY

VSP is a hedged version for the S&P index, for those wanting exposure to the S&P but using Canadian dollars. XSP is fairly similar. MER costs are quite low for both. He prefers the market-weighted over the equal-weighted right now. Large and mega-caps will continue to perform well.

His mid-term target for the S&P 500 is 5500, then maybe a pullback in September-October, and then go on to hit 6000 in the first quarter of 2025. Good opportunities in it, even though the market's performed well.

BUY

CAD ETF for the S&P 500 with some growth and dividends, 5-year hold.

He likes to keep it simple. XSP or VSP are his choices. Both similar, market-weighted, hedged to CAD, track fairly closely to the underlying index. Though there are offerings from other companies, these 2 have the lowest fees.

BUY

ETFs for RRSPs and TFSAs.

He and his team are not tax experts, and the answer is very individual-specific. Consult your tax advisor.

XSP or ZSP are good starting points. One is hedged, one is not. HXS is another option, though it doesn't pay distributions, just accumulates as capital.

BUY

Great product for investors.
Will perform well over the long term.
Very tough benchmark to consistently beat.
Best product for most investors.

BUY

XSP vs. ZUE Almost identical. Track the same index, structure is the same by holding the 500 stocks in the S&P 500 and applying the currency hedge so movements in the CAD don't impact the NAV as much. Long term, did a good job insulating from currency moves. XSP is 10 bps, ZUE is 9. Long term, US large caps should be the core of a lot of portfolios. Risky, as it was this year, but you should still have it.

WEAK BUY

XSP vs. ZQQ He's underweight tech and communications and high-growth stocks. If you look at the NASDAQ 100, it's down 31% from last November highs. Still kind of expensive at 3.7x price to sales, a bit of a premium to 10-year average of 3.5x. Just because it's come down in price, doesn't necessarily make it cheap. He'd prefer the XSP, as it's more diversified, though it still has 34-35% in tech and communications. He's been noticing the equal weight index outperforming, but tech and communications are still not improving.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The XSP pays a 1.12% dividend and also charges a super-low 0.10% MER. Tech is the biggest sector at 26.74% followed by health care at 14.83%. Overall, not bad, but the VSP slightly outperforms this and charges a tick less. Also, XSP is not hedged either. XSP is one to use as a comparable during research only.

WAIT

Excellent ETF, but a bad time to get into it, unless you have a 20-year-year horizon. Instead, wait till 2023 to consider it. He sees storm clouds in the market coming. He is bearish the S&P short-term.

COMMENT

XSP Has a 0.1% MER. Consider HXS for a little more tax efficiency and you can get it in U.S. dollars as well. You are getting classic exposure with the BMO S&P 500.

PARTIAL BUY

Tracks the S&P and is hedged. She doesn't buy ETFs. But an ETF makes sense for some investors who lack the time and expertise. The wider risk is if the market keeps declining and enters a recession. She suggests buying a portion at a time and watching the market.

PARTIAL BUY

BUY

An ETF for a TFSA It tracks the S&P 500, hedged against a decline in the US dollar. It's a core position for him. Solid. Also, ZWB, a covered call on Canadian banks, yielding 5.5%, a surrogate for the Canadian economy.

COMMENT

Caller was asking whether EQL could protect against downside in XSP. It depends what is drawing down the market. For example, if it is the Nasdaq and FAANGs, then EQL will protect you since it is underweight these big names. However, if the market is down, it will not help you.
