The ultimate asset allocation ETF portfolio page.

This asset allocation ETF portfolio post/page will continually update the returns for the ETF providers. We’ll also compare the returns between the asset allocation ETF providers. And we’ll keep track by category, from the lower risk income category to the higher risk all-equity models. The tables will also offer the stock to bond (risk) ratios.

While this is a blog post, the information will eventually migrate to the home page, and will have a permanent home. It will replace the ‘why low fee?‘ area. The asset allocation ETFs are game changers in Canada. You can get access to well-diversified global portfolios with total fees in the range of 0.20% to 0.28%. Welcome to the ultimate asset allocation ETF page.
