ETFs Explained // INVESTING for Canadians (BMO ETFs)

What is an ETF? How Do I Start INVESTING as a Canadian? Why is it Important to DIVERSIFY My Portfolio? What are the Benefits of Exchange Traded Funds?
ETFs are a great way for everyday Canadians to get started with investing. They make it easy to build a diversified and balanced portfolio with less work on your part! Instead of putting all your eggs into one basket by investing in ONE company, use an ETF to invest in dozens or hundreds of companies all at once! I cover all the benefits of investing with ETFs, especially BMO ETFs and I provide some of my favourite ETFs to help you get started 🇨🇦

You absolutely deserve it 👏 I started following you last year and have learned so much from your videos.. still a lot to learn though. Thanks a ton & here's to hoping your channel hits the million subscribers mark soon!! One small question though... holding this ZSP ETF will result in that 15% withholding tax irrespective of whether it's in RRSP or not because we are not holding US S&P ETF directly but through a proxy BMO ZSP. Is it Correct ?

    And to answer your question, unfortunately yes. Since ZSP is a Canadian domiciled ETF containing US holdings, it will face the withholding tax no matter where you hold it. It's totally out of your hands, you can see on the BMO website for ZSP under the tax distribution you will see the foreign taxes paid. Hope that helps! =)

    Thank you for a very well explained video. I have a question with regard to US withheld tax when holding ZSP ETF in my RRSP account. I know when I hold a US stock that pays dividend in RRSP, I don't have to pay the withheld tax. The question is if I held the ZSP ETF in my RRSP account, would the fund pay the withhold tax first and then distribute the dividend after the tax therefore making it less tax efficient. Thank you for taking my question.

    As a simple example, if an ETF contains 10% of stock A and 10% of stock B. If stock B is down 3% but stock A is currently up 8%, we would expect the ETF as a whole to be slightly up. It depends on the performance of each individual holding as well as the weighting of each holding =)

    That's certainly another way to rebalance your portfolio and one that I use myself! However, some people don't have the extra money on hand to buy more shares to balance it out. Or maybe their TFSA is maxed out, so they can't contribute any new money into their portfolio. At that point, their only option to rebalance is to sell some and buy others. Again, the choice is totally up to you! I was just trying to highlight that one of the benefits of an ETF is that they can rebalance for you =)

    Balancing a portfolio means coming up with a plan on where your money will be distributed throughout your investment journey. You always want to be diversified but it also helps if you have set guidelines to follow as you grow. For example, you may want 50% of your portfolio to be Canadian and 50% to be US

    I think this is all the same everywhere to varying degrees… heck even outside of the banking system. My own company: I have no clue how the heck things get made and how the heck it hasn’t collapsed under its own weight. Getting a desk’s chair for my spot can take days, literal many days and opening tickets, contacting 4 different people, hopefully none of them or they person they get in contact afterwards aren’t on an off-day or, god forbid, on vacations. For something that would take myself 30mins going to the closest Office Depot and back, or a couple of minutes to just pick it up from their own storage. Nobody has a clue about anything, that’s why inflation is insane, banks are being bailed out, house prices are out of whack… I kid you not, these BMOs examples you mention, is worse than worthless, it’s a net negative outcome. Not only they don’t fix the issue, you end up all spent with a bunch of time wasted at the end of it.

    Hey Adrian. Thanks for the video. Question for you: - I buy 1-2 stock of VFV every week and that was doable, since its just ~C$200 (Dollar Cost average). Any suggestion on how to buy a U$400+ VOO stock? I can only buy it only once a month in that case. How do you do it? - Does it make sense to sell all the VFV , do a Norbert’s gambit and rebuy VOO (irrespective of TFSA or RRSP)?

    Hey Robin. Could I offer my thoughts to your question? I wouldn't sell your existing vfv. Instead keep funding your account until you reach a certain amount that you'd like to do norbert's gambit and then buy voo or vti. Personally i like vti only cause you get everything in voo at the same MER plus you get small and mid cap :). But i also like vfv so i'll be buying that as well :). I also love Nasdaq qqq-m plus hxq. Happy investing.

    It really depends on how much money you are talking about! If we're talking over $10K, then the higher management fees and 15% dividend cut you're getting with VFV might really start to add up. In that case, it might be worth transferring over. But if we're talking smaller sums of money, I agree with Jesse above. Keep our existing VFV and buy into it with smaller sums of money but whenever you have larger amounts, then it's worth using Norbert's Gambit and buying the USD version. You can always do a hybrid approach! Don't have to choose one or the other =)

    I hear what you are saying but please understand, I've been running this KZread channel for over 4 years and in all that time, this is only the SECOND sponsorship I have ever done. I hope you can appreciate how extremely selective I am with partnerships and promotions. I literally turn down dozens of sponsorship opportunities every week because I don't want to sell junk to you, even though I would make a lot more money. I ONLY consider partnerships with companies and services that I genuinely trust, respect and have been using for years. As I said, I've been investing with BMO ETFs many many years and I've recommend them on my channel (totally for free) for 4 years, because I genuinely believe that they are a great investing products for everyday Canadians. I hope my integrity and sincerity speaks for itself and that you can appreciate that I would never sell crap to my community that I don't personally stand by.
