Desjardins is selling a large stake in the company and it's got folks spooked. I feel like this is a buying opportunity for a well run high divvy company.

Hi all! I'm very new to investing and the company I work for has given the following options. I'm not sure which one is better? Sharesave Plan: Save a fixed amount from my net pay each month for 3 years. I can then buy shares at a fixed price (option price) and a fixed exchange rate (converted to GBP) at the end of the 3 years or take my savings back Incentive Plan: Save a fixed amount from my net pay each month for 10 months. At the end of the 10 months, shares will be bought for the price of the stock on that day with the exchange rate of that day into GBP. For each share I buy, I will r ..read more

Anyone here chooses VCE (50 stocks) over VCN (174 stocks) for their canadian allocation? If so, why? I know the MER's slightly higher and that it's theoretically better to include mid and small caps for diversification, just curious about VCE investors' opinion about this. submitted by /u/Few_Package6662 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I feel stupid asking this and it might very well be a stupid question. I'm looking to put a large sum into VFV and I am just wondering if someone could talk about what would happen to that investment if the CAD shot up in value. Say today I bought VFV and tomorrow the CAD shot up and was par with USD, does VFV lose that same value? submitted by /u/EntertainingTuesday [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello, The CADUSD exchange rate has been slowly getting worse, and I was wondering what options I had available to me to try and take advantage of this. Simplest option would be to exchange my CAD for USD and park it. Ideally, it remains relatively easy to access, and also not put into something extremely volatile. Convert to USD and put it into a high-yield dividend ETF? Just looking for options here. Thanks! submitted by /u/primalyeti [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Thought I would share some news - just received a mailing stating that some TD ETFs are closing down in June (21-26 timeframe "delisting" vs "termination" date), DRIPs ending May 15 / 24. TPAY, TMEC, TMEU, TMEI, TMCC, TMUC - the latter 5 are ESG type funds For more info, consult the mailing you have/will receive. submitted by /u/aLottaWAFFLE [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

All my registered accounts are maxed and filled with XEQT. I have about 250k I can invest that will not touch for about 15-20 years. Is there a huge difference in tax efficiency between XEQT and VFV for a non-registered account, or am I just overthinking? submitted by /u/michaeldeloreti [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

HISA = high income savings account, ETF = exchange traded funds. Example CASH.to. Aside from the recent regulatory change requiring 100% liquidity backing, said to have dropped rates by 1/2%, what drives, typically determines the rate of return on these HISA ETFs? Is it the one year Canadian treasury? 3 month? 6 month? Yield curve is still inverted. The 10-year yield has been slowly coming back up since late December 2023 and is a good rough indicator of market borrowing rate direction but should not influence HISA ETF yields. https://preview.redd.it/dzk285v76owc1.png?width=807&format ..read more
