Q: hi
I’m trying to build a simple ETF portfolio with TSX & S&P500 exposure so that’s it’s easy to add during dips.
For the S&P500 i’m thinking XSP.
Not sure what to do about the TSX. Undecided on XIU, XEI or XDIV. I realize the composition of each is different. Energy, Financials, Utilities etc. What would you do?
Thanks

5i Research Answer:

With the others leaning into dividends, we would consider XIU to be the best reflection of the TSX of those ETFs noted. XIC as a 'capped' index might be better, with slightly lower positioning sizes of individual securities held.
