Experts recommend Vanguard Growth ETF Portfolio (VGRO-T) as a top choice for a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for an 8-year old due to its potential for growth and diversification. It is suggested for a long investing time horizon of 10 years, allowing for a slightly more aggressive approach. The balanced portfolio of 80% stocks and 20% bonds is emphasized to mitigate market fluctuations. For conservative investors, the alternatives VGRO or VBAL are mentioned, with the former being more aggressive and the latter more balanced. The consensus is to consider working with a professional to create a diversified portfolio.

RESP for an 8-year old, for growth and diversification.

Investing time horizon is long, 10 years in this case. So that lets you take on a bit more risk. Though you'll find 10-year timeframes in the equity market that have delivered losses, that makes the balanced portfolio of stocks and bonds so important.

If you don't want fluctuations at all, there's always cash or a money market fund. But for this time horizon, consider using an ETF with growth potential. For a conservative investor, think about VGRO or VBAL. VGRO is more aggressive, at 80 stocks/20 bonds. VBAL is more balanced at 60/40.

VCNS is for the very conservative, mostly bonds with a bit of equity. It will still grow over time because of the equity allocation, but will be more stable. You could even mix in more bonds yourself. Consider working with a professional on this for a diversified portfolio.

It holds stocks and bonds. He bought it originally for conservative accounts, but sold it after 6 months because they didn't perform. The fund sold its winners to rebalance.

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.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
All-in-one ETFs They are excellent, since they give you a wide basket of stocks. You set it and forget it. Great for long-term investors who don't want to spend time micromanaging their portfolio. Some are balanced, growth, defensive, high-growth, so buy the one that suits you.
E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
An asset allocation ETF, which he's not a big fan of. They tend to sell the winners and buy the losers, which doesn't make a lot of sense. He bought it, held it for 6 months, and sold due to lack of performance.
E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
A balanced ETF for a retiree's income portfolio Vanguard has a few such as VGRO, which automatically rebalance. They're popular, but he doesn't use them. He didn't like their performance in RRSPs. Invest only a portion of your portfolio into such a rebalancing ETF; that's okay. Instead, look at covered call ETFs he recommends, because you get the dividend tax credit and capital gains on a sale. Plus a 4-6% dividend yield is very attractive considering the tax consequences in a non-registered account.

COMMENT

[Caller wanted a recommendation to invest very long term] HRAA has a component of risk parity in it. It will do well in a liquidity moment. VGRO is also very diversified. Put it away and let it work.

E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
When he owned this, it made him no money, because the holdings were constantly being reshuffled.

TOP PICK
80% stocks and 20% bonds. Perfect for your child. A great way to start investing. US exposure dominates, but it also offers international exposure.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Invest $200K in only this? Generally not a good strategy, but VGRO is a single-ticket product, meaning it contains a wide, broad mix of equities. It's up only 3.25% this year so far, due to the European exposure. But VGRO is simple and covers the world for you.
E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
It had too much weight in Europe and it was doing nothing. Switched out of it a few weeks ago. It's a good product but it's not working in this market.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Owns a broad array of stocks. A good way to invest in the world, with a growth orientation. Probably not the best for cashflow, but for those wanting broad market exposure, it's great. 41% U.S., 29% Canadian, rest elsewhere.
E.T.F.'s
BUY

A good Vanguard ETF for bonds and stocks? VBAL and VGRO. VBAL is more balacned, and VGRO. Now, be more conservative so choose VBAL, but VGRO is better for growth. They both track North American stocks

E.T.F.'s
BUY
Be patient. You're not buying this for yield. This is 80% stocks and 20% bonds. This will do very well over time. They just started with these growth ETFs, and VGRO is a good one. It's cheap at 20 basis points. VGRO re-balances regularly, too.
E.T.F.'s
COMMENT
It is not a growth style portfolio. Growth means here that this is 80% equities and 20% FI. Look around. There are some others with lower fees. He is not a fan of putting all in a passive portfolio. It is not a buy and forget type of portfolio.
