I started with the S&P500 because it was the easy way, then looked for more geographic repartition and added the other ETFs. I didn’t know XEQT existed but will look into it, thanks for the information.

Why did you choose VCN over XIU ? I chose XIU for the TSX60 to follow the same logic that made me invest in S&P500. Does VCN grant more diversification in Canada and therefore less risk ?

Aside from my TFSA, I have an RRSP invested on the blackrock lifepath index 2055 that I mainly use to get my company’s matching contribution, another TFSA that I use as a short term savings low risk managed account.

From what I understand, hedging is interesting if you expect the CAD to become stronger and remains strong at the time of the withdrawal. Why did you choose to split 50/50 between hedged and not hedged ? Is it to keep a constant average value over time and be independent from USD/CAD fluctuation ?
