Q: Do you prefer HXS or VFV for a FHSA with a timeline of 3-5 years? and what would be your reasoning?
5i Research Answer:
They follow the same index, and the fee difference is not significant (0.09% vs 0.10%). But FHSA have a 15% withholding tax on US dividends, so the total return (no dividends) of HXS looks better.
Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in VFV.
