有些加拿大的金融产品应该也不错的

FCH

始终是个资源大国，下一轮经济周期，应该能受惠不少；另外美元资产应该越来越不值钱，有些人说，如果考虑通胀和美元贬值的因素，美国的股市指数其实一直都在跌，只不过08年跌得更惨一些。就算在美股中能有赢利，如果要折算成加币来用，可能会有所损失。如果两边有同样的投资类别，应该优先考虑加币。另外，对于加拿大居民，加拿大的股票还有一些税务上的优惠。

如果对加拿大公司不熟悉，可以考虑一些ETF，现在加拿大的ETF很火。比如，如果对石油，金属或农产品有认识，可以买相应的指数；有些产品可以将指数的变化加倍，比如石油期货如果涨5%，你的etf就在10%左右的升幅。好处是避免了个股的风险，如果真有眼光，还可以从下跌市中赚钱，因为可以买“卖空”的产品，也有加倍的。

当然了，如果你有更熟悉的市场或投资对象，那一定还是要优先考虑的。

服了，FCH无所不知！

老大，这段话能再详细讲解吗？我还什么都不懂。但是对资源类是关心的。

摘一些简单介绍给有兴趣的朋友：

ETFs provide a wide choice of investment options, including various sectors, asset classes, geographical locations and investment strategies. ETFs typically track the performance of a basket of securities underlying the benchmark index – the benchmark can be made up of individual stocks, bonds or other securities such as commodities. Therefore, owning a few ETFs can be a quick way to diversify one’s portfolio. Attempting to build a diversified portfolio by buying individual stocks, bonds and other investments can be more costly, risky and time consuming than diversifying with ETFs. For example, if an investor would like to have a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and other assets such as commodities, one could use 2 ETFs to represent bonds and stocks rather than researching, buying and managing a number of individual bonds and stocks for the same asset class coverage and weighting.

FCH

ETFs have the potential to outperform an actively managed mutual fund over time. Many studies have been conducted over time that demonstrate that a minority of mutual funds outperform the return of an index. ETFs are an efficient way to realize index performance and a lower annual management fee.

FCH

ETFs report their holdings every day and typically disclose the specific weighting of the constituents of the tracked index, which means you will know when the ETF has modified its position in a particular stock or other security. In contrast, most mutual funds report their holdings periodically - typically twice a year. You may not know for months if the mutual fund you own has substantially changed its holdings, their weightings or the overall investment style (i.e. – from growth to value). The transparency inherent with ETFs, coupled with the tracking of a set index, provides greater confidence that the ETF will maintain its original investment strategy.

FCH

Like all funds, ETFs have an annual fee referred to as a management fee. The fee charged by ETFs is generally lower than that charged by mutual funds, making ETFs more cost-efficient. Although the percentage difference between an ETF and a mutual fund might seem insignificant, the difference can substantially affect the return on the investment over a long period of time.

FCH

ETFs are generally more tax-efficient than mutual funds because they rarely trigger capital gains. The ETF holder pays a capital gains tax when the shares are sold, while mutual funds generate gains that investors must pay tax on even while they still hold the fund.

ETFs can also be more tax efficient than building a balanced portfolio of individual stocks. Over time, the excess capital gains generated through buying and selling individual stocks, along with the brokerage commission fees for each transaction, can reduce the overall return of your portfolio.

Note that some ETFs also offer dividends or other distributions on a regular basis. These distributions are taxable if held in a non-registered account.

FCH

The price of a stock can change dramatically throughout the day due to company news and other events. ETFs generally have lower price volatility than individual stocks due to their inherent diversity in more than one security. The overall price movement of an ETF is dependent on the movement of all the holdings in the fund. Should one or more holdings of the ETF experience price volatility, generally the other holdings in the fund (with less volatility) will moderate the ETF’s overall price movement. The lower volatility inherent to ETFs reduces portfolio risk for investors.

是的，ETF指数基金的优势相当明显，相对容易判断，省时省力省心

国外做指数基金的人很多，国内多数人局限于个股和普通基金

前一阵子A股是蓝筹行情，平时对蓝筹研究不多，拿不准哪个能涨多点，直接买了50ETF

跟指数基金是跑平大盘最好的方法

闲云

我还是更喜欢从加拿大股市里直接选股票，呵呵，操作股票更有意思。
