Define "good" for your needs. Active, passive, Canada only, etc.
I think most retail investors overthink things, so I reccomend boring index stuff. HUC, HUN, HOG etc.

Keeping talking dirty to me

I ended up going with NNRG last week. I hope you're wrong about it being already run up but we will see. Bring on the cold winter!!!

Fuck, even in my business... Just the month of October cost me a shade over $5400.00 in merchant processing fees... So fucking gross.

Anyone know of any good S&P500 or broad market ETF’s that structure their returns purely as capital gains? Goal is no dividends.

[suntan]

I'm not sure any exist as I've also looked for years. In the USA virtually all ETFs are available in mutual fund form, which automates the investment of dividends.

I think the best you can do is tell the brokerage that you want to DRIP the ETF.

[ExtraSlow]

a small-cap fund should be largely capital gains.

[killramos]

Trying to setup some stuff in my daughters name, my understanding is dividends are no bueno and dad pays the taxes, but cap gains in a child’s name are taxed at her marginal rate?

[ExtraSlow]

US dividends are handled differently anyway, aren't they?

Yea. Best case Ontario would be a Canadian domiciled fund traded on the TSX for tax efficiency.

Should avoid the issue of US withholdings.

Maybe what I need is an estate planner? I’ve never really understood what financial advisors actually do for what you pay them though.

[ExtraSlow]

Well you can have a free conversation with your fund salesman at the bank, but the level of knowledge in that position is pretty variable. I've met a good one, and a few of the other.
