A perspective on Canadian equity allocation from Vanguard
At Vanguard, we are driven above all else by giving people the best chance for investment success. Our investment strategy research consistently shows us that the diversification benefits of combining local with international equities can improve investment outcomes for Canadian investors. This helps achieve balance in a portfolio, one of our four anchor investment principles (together with goals, cost and discipline).
The good news is getting access to high quality local and international equity exposure has never been easier for Canadian investors. As a leader in multi-asset solutions managing over $1 trillion in this way globally, Vanguard launched the first Canadian asset allocation ETFs back in 2018 to give investors a low-cost, diversified portfolio in a simple single-ticket purchase. The equity in each of these products includes broad, all-cap exposure to both Canadian and International equities, with over 12,000 individual securities.
