Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Based on the reviews from different experts, it is recommended that the iShares MSCI World Index Fund (XWD-T) is a good global ETF to balance out overweight in Canadian stocks. A Morgan Stanley world index ETF is suggested for its simplicity and global diversification benefit. It is noted that the US dominance in market-weighted indices can be offset by investing in this ETF, which contains 70% US stocks while also providing exposure to other global markets. Overall, the ETF is considered to be very conservative and a good option for investors seeking global diversification.

Global ETF to balance out the overweight in Canadian stocks?

A Morgan Stanley world index ETF would be good and simple. Because the US is so dominant in market-weighted indices, a Morgan Stanley ETF will have 70% in US stocks. But you're getting global diversification, not EMs. That will be somewhat of an offset.

It'll be very conservative.

BUY
ETFs for university-aged people When you're that young, invest for growth. XWD and VGRO give you all of that in one place. It allows a globally diverse basket of stocks to be held for the long term.

An ETF for an RESP for a 17-year horizon? VXC for international exposure or XWD are both good.

XWD vs. XAW He prefers XAW. Both are ETFs of ETFs. XAW includes emerging markets, a nice diversifier, with EM comprising 50% of the world's GDP. He likes global.

If you could build a portfolio with only 2 ETFs for the next 5-10 years. ZAG-T and XWD-T. ZAG holds bonds. XWD offers global diversity and it fairly cheap; you get 65 of the buggest international stocks.

WEAK BUY

VEQT vs. VFV vs. XWD He prefers VEQT and XWD, because he'd rather be all-world than just the U.S. He likes diversification. VEQT is all-cap vs. XWD is large-cap, and he prefers all-cap. So, VQET is his top choice here.

COMMENT
Growth potential? It's good for growth, especially with a long-term horizon. An even better way to harness market beta is XMW, which a minimum-volatility index ETF and reduces the risk of high-risk stocks by excluding them. You'll get the same long-term returns, maybe higher, but at lower risk. A smoother ride.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Is it smart to buy two diversified ETFs then take a single position out? No, he doesn't recommend nor use single stock positions. If you want one single ETF, look at XWD. It spans the world (large-cap, blue-chip and diverse) and it has gotten off to a great start this year. He prefers ETFs that are cheaper than most, but not the cheapest, because he prefers ETFs that are factor-based which will cost 35 basis points. The 35 basis points are worth it than a no-frills, super-low MER ETF.
E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
ZGQ-T vs. XWD-T. ZWD-T is the world except for Canada. ZGQ-T is a world quality index. In a slowdown you want to own companies with the cleanest balance sheet and lowest leverage. That is the quality factor. He prefers ZGQ-T over ZWD-T.
E.T.F.'s
BUY

I'm young and willing to buy an ETF that carries risk. Which one? VXC-T, a one-stop, affordable ETF ex-Canada. Or there's ex-EM, XWD-T. Also, pick something in a sector you're comfortable with and know something about. Don't go in blind.

E.T.F.'s
COMMENT

An ETF that is basically invested in a number of countries around the world. It is an international type index. Has been avoiding this area because of some of the problems different countries have had. Indications are that growth outside of North America is definitely improving. You may be back in a situation where you want to have part of your portfolio in international securities. He is not quite convinced yet. It has potential for growth.

E.T.F.'s
BUY

Global ETF for an RESP? An all-world ETF. You are buying large cap stocks from around the world and getting them from 16-17 countries giving you global diversification. Low cost. Very safe way to go.

E.T.F.'s
BUY

TFSA vs RRSP, and examples of ETF’s that would be more suitable? For the large majority of people, the TFSA money is the money that you can be a little more aggressive with because there is more flexibility because the growth you have will be pulled out tax-free. If you want things that are going to grow, and hopefully will be a little more aggressive as a result of seeking that growth, he would use things like iShares MSCI World Index Fund (XWD-T) or Vanguard FTSE All-World ex Canada (VXC-T), both global broadly diversified equity positions that are trying to get you exposure around the world.

E.T.F.'s
COMMENT

An ETF that holds stocks around the world. He just used this for one of his client’s RESP. It gives you exposure to the stock market globally. MER is very low. Especially good for small accounts like RESP’s and TFSA’s.
