Case study: My portfolio idea - VFV, VDU, VAB (series 4 of 10)

May 31, 2019

Introduction


It is my portfolio idea just to borrow from the article Canada retirement guide using three ETF (VFU, VDU, VAB). The blog is related to CAD-Hedged vs Not Hedged. 

Case study


CAD-Hedged vs Not Hedged

Our portfolio invests in ETFs that are not CAD-Hedged because their returns are significantly higher and more stable than ETFs that are CAD-Hedged. The table below compares this historical performance on developed market stocks.
