I’m 34F with about a $50k investment portfolio, and I’ve been comparing VDY/VFV versus XEQT/XIU as a core setup.
VDY/VFV originally made sense to me for income plus U.S. exposure, but lately I’ve been leaning more toward growth, simplicity, and total return, which is why XEQT/XIU keeps pulling me in. The shift away from focusing on yield feels pretty common once time horizon starts to matter more.
Not looking for specific portfolio advice — just interested in how others here think about these two approaches and what factors mattered most when choosing your core ETFs.
