iShares U.S. Fixed Income Balanced Risk Factor ETF Price & Performance (FIBR)

A recent comparison of all-in-one ETFs in Canada highlights Vanguard and iShares as top contenders. Vanguard's VEQT offers a broad mix of equity investments, while iShares' XEQT boasts a slightly lower management expense ratio. Both cater to diverse investor needs, providing comprehensive global exposure in a single product.1

As market uncertainty rises, defensive ETFs are drawing attention. Funds like Invesco's SPLV, which selects low-volatility S&P 500 stocks, and Vanguard's VTIP, offering inflation-protected securities, provide options for investors seeking stability. These products aim to minimize risks while maintaining potential for steady returns.2

Tax efficiency remains a key concern for Canadian ETF investors. Products like iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF offer global exposure but face higher tax costs due to foreign dividend structures. Balancing these with more tax-efficient U.S.-focused ETFs is an ongoing strategy for many.3
