Q: Good day. XML is the Canadian hedged EFAV. It holds nothing but EFAV. But EFAV is up 17% ytd while XML is only up 9.7%. Could you explain why there is such a gap? Surely hedging can't cost that much.

Q: Hi,
If one believes the Canadian dollar will depreciate vs USD, what products/strategies available to hedge ? For example could you suggest unhedged ETF with less volatility tracking some US/International markets ? Thanks a lot
