How to read this chart

01

Normalized to 100

All ETFs start at 100 on day one of the selected range. A reading of 160 means +60% return — regardless of whether the ETF trades at $20 or $100 per unit.

02

Adjusted Close Prices

Charts use adjusted close prices, which account for distributions and splits. This gives a more accurate picture of total returns received by investors.

03

Past ≠ Future

Historical performance shows how an ETF behaved — not how it will behave. Use this tool to understand correlations and risk profiles, not to predict winners.

About these ETFs

All-in-One ETFs (XEQT, VEQT, XGRO, XBAL) are single-ticket portfolios that hold hundreds of underlying ETFs across global markets. They auto-rebalance, making them ideal for TFSA and RRSP investors who want simplicity.

VFV and ZSP track the S&P 500 in CAD. They hold currency risk (USD/CAD fluctuations affect returns) but have historically been strong performers. VFV has no currency hedging — you get the raw USD return converted to CAD.

XIU and XICgive exposure to Canadian equities. XIU is Canada's most actively traded ETF (top 60 TSX companies). XIC is broader (~220 stocks) with the lowest MER of the group at 0.06%.

ZAG tracks Canadian investment-grade bonds. It moves differently from equity ETFs — useful for seeing how bonds held up during equity market downturns like 2022.
