Q: I’m wondering which type of account would be best for these ETFs. I assume they would not all be best in the same account. The choices of accounts would be personal taxable, RRSP, TFSA, and corporate.

Thanks.

5i Research Answer:

Placement can vary by tax situation, but generally speaking: ZEM RRSP; XUU any account ex TFSA; XIC preferable in taxable account with the dividend tax credit; XEF RRSP or taxable.
