Q: My question yesterday did not seem to go through as it did not show up in "My Questions".
In reading your newsletter "What Investments to hold in your TFSA or RRIF" - I hold the above 4 ETF's in my TFSA and was wondering if they should be in this account?
I interpret your information as they should not be in an TFSA.
Thanks

5i Research Answer:
Generally, yes. Any ETF with US and foreign exposure and paying a dividend will be subject to withholding tax in a TFSA, and not in an RRSP.
