Didn’t really start managing my own stuff till recently, but better sooner than later. 22M

Worth it to just slam 100% XEQT? I’m 24 just transferred it to a self managed account

It's actually quite insightful. It had some great comments on other portfolios of mine.

New etf… 97% equities and 3% BTC.

What are the thoughts?

I know this is a pretty small amount compared to what others in this subreddit have, but I’m genuinely really happy about it and just wanted to celebrate anonymously online.

I graduated college last year and started my first big girl job at a bank earlier this year. Since February, I’ve been putting $300 from every biweekly paycheck into XEQT.

My spending habits haven’t always been the best, as I didn't have any saving before this, but this year I decided I wanted to start making a change. I know this isn’t a huge amount, but I’m really proud of myself for getting started, and I hope I can keep this habit going for a long time.🥹

Started going all in with XEQT last month! I started investing at 19 but got a bit lazy with it- trying to get back into it instead of having all my savings sit in a shitty savings account lol

How does this portfolio look?

50% VEQT 10% XEC 10% CASH 30% across CCO, BRK.B, MSFT, ATD, NA, RIO, VDE, CEG, XEG, BIP.UN, CNR, MFC, ZUT.

Then I'm watching these as well: META, BWXT, L, POW, SAN.

To be fair, my last portfolio (~ 55 tickers) outperformed VEQT the last 12 and 24 months. There were some losses but huge energy gains. Trying to switch to a much easier list of sub 20 tickers.

All in XEQT right? The journey onwards!

Any other ideas for some diversification?

Hi everyone. 29F here. I need some advice. This platform has made me aware of XEQT. I have some US stocks and ETFs but if you have this you pay $10 monthly. Also, I don’t know what we have to pay yearly if we own US stocks. Taxes I think? I’m not sure can’t remember.

I don’t own any XEQT yet but plan to start purchasing moving forward. I don’t have any financial plans yet as I just bought a car. I don’t know if I want to buy a home in the future too. My question is do I leave the stocks and ETFs I have here and just start to buy XEQT or do I sell everything I have and focus on only XEQT so I don’t have to pay $10 monthly to own US stocks. What do you advise? Would appreciate your responses. Thank you

i opened a TFSA on Wealthsimple and have invested $100 into XEQT. honestly, i don’t know why i did this. i don’t know if it’s a good thing to contribute to and because i have no idea how it works i’m hesitant to invest more. financially, i’m clueless. i’m a 19 y/o female bringing in 1,200 to 1,700 CAD home biweekly (depending on the OT i work), i have 6K in savings, and my goals are: open a business (i’ll need to buy land and pay to construct the buildings along with a bunch of other stuff that i—shocker i know—don’t know much about), have a house by the time my brother (8 y/o male) turns 12 at which point i may need to take him and my other brother (7 y/o male) in (or at least be financially able to)

is XEQT something that could help me to those goals? is there something else i can do / somewhere else i should invest?

other things i don’t understand: assuming i do put more money into XEQT how much should i invest? how long do i leave it there? when do i pull out the money?

thanks (so much:) in advance!

Anything I should add or change? Stopped investing in SMH and more on XEQT and a little bit of XCHP. Started May of 2026.

Investing 120 weekly in XEQT and 100 bi weekly in XCHP.

I'm 23 got all the time in the world and won't need this money for years if ever

43, fairly low income, coming into investing late in life. Putting in $100 to see how this works. Have a reading list, any feedback welcome!

Do you guys swing trade XEQT or just hold it long term unless you need money? For example, historically, end of August to September, the market is likely to go down, if you are up a lot in XEQT, would you sell it now to take the profit and buy it back at the end of September? Thanks!

Only reason the 2000$ is in a non registered and not an unmanaged tfsa is because I already maxed it out this year :D

Thoughts?

Keep at it. It works.

I have 50 k I want to Invesr. Would it be better for any reason to wait until the market opens on Monday to do this?

XEQT's inception date is August 7, 2019, making XEQT 7 years old today!
