The Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF (CAD-hedged) seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index (CAD-Hedged). This Index is a market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to represent the returns of the S&P500 Index, which is comprised of large capitalization U.S. stocks, with the U.S. dollar exposure of the securities included in the S&P 500 Index hedged to the Canadian dollar. There is a chance that returns from large-capitalization stocks will trail returns from the overall stock market. Large-capitalization stocks tend to go through cycles of doing better - or worse - than the stock market in general. These periods have, in the past, lasted for several years. All major industry sectors are represented in the Index.
This ETF provides synthetic exposure. It does not hold the securities of the index directly so we cannot display its exposure breakdown.
