    Thank you for this! Great video, Justin. Quick question: it seems like VEE's holdings now indicate direct shares of the companies versus an investment in the US ETF. Did it also transition? Is it now thus more interesting given its lower MER?

    Great video as usual! Justin: just to be clear, there would be no benefit (outside of MER) to hold VEA over VIU in a RRSP account? I believe since VEA was updated with a ~9% Canadian equity complement, that the tax drag difference is now negligible, but I still can’t decide if the MER alone is a better reason to hold VEA. Note: other RRSP holdings are VTI, VWO, ADUV, ADVD. Merci.

    • @JustinBenderCPM
      @JustinBenderCPM 2 дня назад

      @willbobig - If you already hold U.S.-listed ETFs in your RRSP, you could consider holding something like IEFA/IEMG to avoid Canadian equity in VEA...if this is what you're shooting for. This would lower your MER and could be worth it...as long as you avoid high FX costs by using Norbert's gambit to convert currencies.

  • @jamesmckinney1868
    @jamesmckinney1868 14 дней назад

    Great video! I think another consideration is that breaking up the all-in-one could create opportunities for lower foreign withholding taxes, if you swap some of the holdings. For example, if holding VEQT in an RSSP, VUN can be changed to VTI, and VEE can be changed to VWO (since VEE doesn't hold the emerging market stocks directly).

    A potentially significant shortcoming of this allocation is that much of the tax loss harvesting potential is lost by holding equities in the registered accounts. Comments?

      @JustinBenderCPM Месяц назад

    Hey! How does this compare to Ben's Five Factor Investing Model Portfolio? I am so confused as to go to all in XEQT vs that.

    • @better.present
      @better.present Месяц назад

      Nvm, I chatgptd it: :D XEQT and Ben Felix's Five Factor Model Portfolio are both popular investment options, but they have different approaches and considerations. XEQT (or similar all-equity ETFs): XEQT is an all-equity ETF offered by iShares, providing exposure to global equity markets. It's a simple and convenient option for investors seeking broad diversification across global stocks. XEQT holds a mix of Canadian, US, and international equities, providing exposure to various sectors and regions. As an all-equity ETF, it carries higher volatility and risk compared to balanced portfolios that include bonds or other fixed-income assets. It's suitable for investors with a long-term investment horizon and higher risk tolerance who seek growth potential over time. Ben Felix's Five Factor Model Portfolio: Ben Felix's portfolio is based on academic research and incorporates factors such as market, size, value, profitability, and investment. It's designed to capture specific risk factors that have historically shown to provide higher returns over the long term. This portfolio typically includes a mix of Canadian, US, and international stocks, but with a tilt towards certain factors such as value and small-cap stocks. By incorporating multiple factors, it aims to enhance returns while managing risk. It requires more active management and periodic rebalancing compared to a simple all-equity ETF like XEQT.

As a newbie, I just have a question about reporting when I do sell our holdings, all -in one ETFs, likely in a few years. If the capital gains shown on the T3 doesn't reconcile with my own calculation having tracked the ACB, how do I report that on my taxes?

    • @JustinBenderCPM
      @JustinBenderCPM 2 месяца назад

      @snb8003 - The capital gains shown on your T3 are from capital gains distributions (these are occasionally paid by the ETF to unitholders at year-end) - you should simply report these as is. These T3 capital gains are separate from any capital gains you report from ETF sales on Schedule 3 of your tax return.

      @joytheboy7730 - If you had calculated a total return over a 2-year time period, and wanted to annualize this total return (i.e., calculate an "average" annual return), then you would need to add 1 to the total return, take that to the power of (1/2), and subtract 1 to calculate the annualized return.
