Just wanted to bounce this off some people.
Instead of 25% CDN equity, 25% US equity, 25% international equity, why not just go with VTI?
Pretty much covers the whole world, from what I can see somewhat proportionate to the country market sizes.
As a dividend growth investor I do not currently index, but I am thinking of taking a more passive role in investing.
I will enjoy a defined benefit pension indexed for inflation. There is my "bond" component.
I was thinking of simply buying 5K per year of VT for my TFSA and be done with it.
.3% MER, not too shabby. USD but I am not too worried over the long term about currency fluctuations.
If I were to switch to a VT index strategy, am I missing something?
Your thoughts please, and thank you.
