If you're a Canadian investor looking for exposure to the United States, there is arguably no better option than a Canadian listed S&P 500 index fund. These S&P 500 index funds give you broad exposure to the US market without having to buy individual US stocks. Although these funds are typically not for those looking to build a passive income stream through dividends, I believe it would be an error for investors to avoid them. However, there are some issues when it comes to taxation with Canadian listed ETFs that contain US holdings in terms of stocks or ETFs. So, I'll go over that in this video plus give four possible S&P 500 index funds that trade in Canadian dollars that you can look at today. I'll also go over the added benefits and downfalls of investing in hedged versus unhedged ETFs.
