Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Although I realize you are not tax experts, I have a general question about holding ETF’s in an an open account. My understanding is that Canadian-listed ETF’s are exempt from the T1135 filing. So I believe HXDM, even though an International ETF, could be held in a non-registered account without any filing requirement. Is my assumption correct?

On the other hand, any ETF could be held within an RRSP without filing (eg. VWO).
