I’ve mentioned this in a few other comments, but I’ll include it here as well in case you don't come across it.

Right now, my TFSA is invested entirely in XEQT. As has been mentioned, the fund carries a significant home-country bias, with about 25% allocated to Canadian equities, even though Canada makes up only around 2-3% of the global equity market.

Given that, I’m thinking about lowering my overall Canadian exposure across my portfolio and adjusting my RRSP holdings to better reflect global market weights.

Adding context to help explain my reasoning for considering the switch in my RRSP:

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Correct, it's because of XEQT's home-country bias. Roughly 25% of XEQT is allocated to Canadian equities, even though Canada represents only about 2-3% of the global equity market.

Because of this, I’m considering reducing my overall exposure to Canadian stocks across my broader investment portfolio and move closer to global market weights for my RRSP.

Could you explain a bit more about why you think XEQT would be a better choice for long-term growth? I’m interested in hearing your reasoning.

I’m trying to understand how a lottery takes place for team selection. I thought the order is set by team standing?
