Vangrd Total World E.T.F. (VT-N)

A world index that covers everything. It is a total world index – large cap and mid cap. There is not a similar ETF that trades in Canada. You have to consider currency when investing internationally. EDIV-N he likes for dividends in emerging markets.

This is only in the US market and trading it might involve currency conversion costs. The CAD$ is somewhat undervalued right now so he thinks this is a bad time. Also, you get all the other currency exposure.

Thinks this is a good ETF, but he likely wouldn’t use it because he is more global and tactical. Although this is world, 52% of it is US.

Great plan if you eventually want US$’s. The great thing about global stock ETF’s is that they are true meritocracies in terms of cap weighting around the world.

Likes it a great deal. If he were to use a US product he would use this one. Vanguard is one of his favourite ETF providers.
