About Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF (CAD)

The Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF (VFV.TO) tracks the S&P 500 Index, providing Canadian investors with exposure to the 500 largest U.S. publicly traded companies. VFV is denominated in Canadian dollars but is UNHEDGED — meaning investors have full exposure to USD/CAD currency fluctuations. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Canadian dollar, VFV benefits; when it weakens, returns are reduced. The hedged version is VSP.TO. VFV holds the same underlying stocks as the iconic U.S.-listed VOO, making it one of the most popular ETFs on the TSX for passive U.S. equity exposure. With an MER of just 0.09%, it is one of the lowest-cost ways for Canadians to invest in the S&P 500.

VFV is widely regarded as the go-to unhedged S&P 500 ETF for Canadian investors. Its ultra-low 0.09% MER and broad U.S. equity exposure make it a core holding in many portfolios. Investors should understand the currency exposure — VFV does NOT hedge USD/CAD, unlike its sibling VSP.TO.
