First of all - great site and thanks to those who have answered my other questions - i'm a real newbie and just starting to take more control of my own finances.
I'm trying to put together a diversified portfolio of ETF's for my wife and my RRSP's and TFSA's. This is strictly for long-horizon retirement funds.
Where i'm getting bogged down now is as per the subject line. I note a far greater selection and generally lower MER's on US ETF's.
I'm not clear on what the tax/currency implications are in buying these as opposed to only shopping from the TSX-listed ETF's.
Could anyone please help to clarify this for me?
Thanks!
