Q: A conservative investor has these three ETFs. For a non-registered account would she be better off topping up one of these, or is there another ETF that would complement this group. With or without a dividend.
5i Research Answer:
We think these are all high quality options and would be comfortable topping up any one. For a conservative investor, one point that could be considered is consolidating into an all-equity type of ETF such as VEQT. This provides diversified equity exposure based on geography and size. While fees are low on all the funds listed, an investor could potentially save on some of the fees paid.
Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in VFV.
