Q: Hi,
Is there a way for me to buy US and/or Global small cap stocks in Canadian dollars? Your answers from the archives suggest XCS which deals only with Canadian small caps. Any ETF or Mutual Fund in CAD for the US/Global Small caps? What is your favourite Mutual Fund? I know you don't like their high MERs. Neither do I. :) Many thanks.
P.S. I searched in ETF and MF Newsletter to no avail. Still no easy search function ;) Long over due folks.

5i Research Answer:
XSU is a quite-decent US small cap ETF traded in Canada. It is up 17.5% in the past year; assets are $576M, fees 0.35%. We do not have a suggestion for a global small cap ETF in Canada. Mawer and Fidelity would be our suggestions for a global small cap mutual fund.
