What is an Asset Allocation ETF?

It is an all-in-one ETF that combines multiple asset classes, such as stocks and bonds, in a single product.

Are Asset Allocation ETFs risky?

The risk depends on the stock/bond ratio and your risk tolerance. Conservative ETFs are less volatile.

Where can these ETFs be purchased in Canada?

Through Canadian bank brokerage platforms or independent platforms, such as Wealthsimple, Questrade, and Qtrade.

Is rebalancing management required?

No, Asset Allocation ETFs perform rebalancing automatically.
