Asset Allocation ETFs in Canada
Asset allocation ETFs are complete portfolios combining stocks and bonds in predefined proportions. They automatically rebalance and offer a simple investing solution.
Why invest
Maximum simplicity: one ETF for a complete portfolio. Automatic rebalancing. Very low fees for diversified management.
How to choose
Choose based on your risk profile: conservative (60% bonds), balanced (60% stocks), growth (80% stocks), or 100% stocks.
Popular ETFs
Popular ones include VGRO, VBAL, VCNS (Vanguard), XGRO, XBAL (iShares), ZGRO, ZBAL (BMO).
Best account
Any account — Suitable for all accounts - simplicity takes priority over tax optimization.
What is the difference between VGRO and XGRO?
Both offer 80% stocks / 20% bonds allocation with automatic rebalancing. VGRO (Vanguard) has a 0.24% MER, XGRO (iShares) 0.20%. Geographic composition differs slightly but performance is very similar.
Do I need to rebalance an all-in-one ETF?
No, that's the main advantage! Rebalancing is automatic and included in the fees. You just buy regularly without worrying about proportions.
Does XEQT or VEQT pay dividends?
Yes, XEQT and VEQT pay quarterly distributions from the dividends of the thousands of stocks they hold. The yield is typically 1.5-2.5% per year, automatically reinvested if you enable DRIP.
