Q: Would you recommend VE as a way to diversify a mostly Canadian portfolio into Europe? Are there significant differences among Europe large cap ETFs and, if so, what would you recommend as an alternative or complement? Is now a good time to make this move?

Thanks in advance.

5i Research Answer:

Being large and liquid, and with low fees, we would be quite comfortable with VE for general European exposure. Most regional large cap ETFs would own very similar securities.
