Q: From a tax perspective, does it make a difference where I hold XUU? I'd like to put it in a non-registered account but I'm wondering whether there is a tax benefit to put it in my RSP.

Thanks,

Q: Dear 5i,
In the parts of my portfolio that outside of the 5i Balanced Equity Portfolio, I want to add some US market exposure. I hold precious metals and some TLT in this area as well and was looking at an S&P500 ETF. IVV seems to have the best combination of dividend yield and low management fee followed by the O'Leary Quality S&P500 ETF which aims to own the highest quality companies (by balance sheet and earnings, I believe) in each sector of S&P500.

Is there one or the other of these that I should pick for holding in a TFSA or should I look to the CAD-hedged XSP or something else?
