Best Canadian ETFs
What You Should Know
- An ETF is a basket of investments you can buy in a single trade. Canadian-listed ones can hold assets from anywhere in the world.
- Our overall top ten is the quick version. If you already know what you need, such as bonds, cash or a one-fund portfolio, the category tables will serve you better.
- We rank funds on past returns after adjusting for how much their prices swung. Longer track records count for more.
- A high rank doesn't make a fund right for you, and past returns don't promise future ones. Check what a fund holds, what it costs and how much of its return came as cash payouts.
There's no single best ETF, but some have clearly done better than others once you account for how bumpy the ride was. We ranked 202 of the largest Canadian-listed ETFs that way. The overall top ten comes first, followed by separate leaders for stocks, bonds, cash, mixed portfolios and commodities, since a bond fund and a bank ETF do very different jobs.
ETFs work a lot like mutual funds, except they trade throughout the day and usually cost less to hold. Our comparison of ETFs and mutual funds goes into the details. The rankings refresh whenever our fund data does.

Best Canadian ETFs Overall Top Ten
These ten funds have the highest scores under our ranking method right now. Stock funds tend to fill most of this list. Over long periods, stocks have usually earned more than bonds or cash for each unit of volatility, and our method rewards exactly that. For leaders in other categories, skip to the tables below.

We refresh these numbers weekly. Fund details can change between updates, so confirm them in the fund’s ETF Facts before you invest.
Annualized return is the compound yearly total return over the stated period, with distributions reinvested: the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the ending value. Different rows use different histories. Yearly expenses are the reported fund expense ratio; brokerage charges and other fund trading costs can be additional. Risk ratings are reported by the fund providers.
Choose the type of ETF that fits your purpose
| If you are looking for | Start with | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Company ownership and long-term growth | Stock ETFs | Prices can fluctuate substantially; broad portfolios and single sectors have different risks. |
| Bond exposure or a steadier portfolio mix | Bond ETFs | Bond prices can fall. Maturity and borrower credit quality matter. |
| Several asset classes in one holding | Mixed Portfolio ETFs | Compare the actual stock, bond and other asset weights. |
| A place to hold money for a short-term need | Cash and Money Market ETFs | Compare with savings accounts and GICs, including access, costs and deposit protection. |
| Exposure to gold, other commodities or digital assets | Commodity and Crypto ETFs | These assets serve different purposes and may be concentrated or volatile. |
How to use the tables
First check what a fund invests in. A bank ETF, a broad global stock portfolio and a cash ETF solve different problems, even if one has a higher rank. Then compare expenses, the length of the performance record and the risk rating. The ranking explanation lower on this page shows exactly how each score is calculated.
A 0.10% expense ratio represents about $1 a year for each $1,000 invested, before changes in the investment value. Fund expenses are already reflected in the reported returns; they are not a separate ranking bonus or penalty.
To explore how investment growth affects your money, use our return on investment calculator.
Our category tables use the same ranking method as the overall list. They select from all eligible funds, so a category leader can appear here even when it is outside the overall top ten.
Best Canadian Stock ETFs
Stock ETFs invest in companies, covering broad markets or focusing on dividends, banks, energy or another strategy. Broad Canadian funds such as XIC, ZCN and VCN follow the S&P/TSX Composite or a similar index, which leans heavily on financial and energy companies. All-in-one funds such as XEQT and VEQT also appear here, because they hold only stocks spread across several regions.
ETF data as of October 23, 2026
Updated weekly| ETF | What it invests in | Annualized return | Yearly expenses | Risk rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HEBHamilton Champions Canadian Bank Equal-Weight Index ETF | Six large Canadian banks in equal weights | 41.1% 3-year annualized | 0.05% | Medium to High |

| IDIV.BManulife Smart International Dividend ETF | International dividend-paying companies | 25.2% 3-year annualized | 0.40% | Medium |
These stock ETFs can have different exposures. Compare broad markets, individual sectors, income strategies and any additional assets before choosing a fund. Their rank does not make them interchangeable.
Best Bond and Cash ETFs in Canada
Bond ETFs pass on the interest their bonds earn as regular distributions, can steady a portfolio when stocks fall, and rise or fall in price as interest rates change. Cash and money market ETFs are a parking spot for money you will need soon. We rank them in separate tables: cash funds barely move in price, so their scores would crowd real bond funds out of a combined list.
Bond ETFs
Bond ETFs hold loans to governments or companies. Short-term bonds generally react less to interest-rate changes than long-term bonds; lower-quality borrowers carry greater credit risk. Compare maturity, credit quality and currency exposure alongside past returns. Bond prices move opposite to interest rates, so our interest rate forecast is useful context.
ETF data as of October 23, 2026
Updated weekly| ETF | What it invests in | Annualized return | Yearly expenses | Risk rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZSTBMO Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF | Canadian investment-grade bonds with very short maturities | 2.5% 10-year annualized | 0.17% | Low |
| ZJKBMO High Yield US Corporate Bond Index ETF | Higher-yielding US corporate bonds | 5.7% 5-year annualized | 0.61% | Low to Medium |
| XSHiShares Core Canadian Short Term Corporate Bond Index ETF | Short-term corporate bonds issued in Canadian dollars | 2.8% 10-year annualized | 0.10% | Low |
| VSCVanguard Canadian Short-Term Corporate Bond Index ETF | Canadian-dollar corporate bonds with 1 to 5 years to maturity | 2.6% 10-year annualized | 0.10% | Low |
| XHYiShares U.S. High Yield Bond Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) | Higher-yielding US corporate bonds, hedged to CAD | 3.1% 10-year annualized | 0.56% | Low to Medium |
Cash and Money Market ETFs
Retail investors can use these funds to hold money in a brokerage account while waiting to invest or saving for a short-term goal. They hold bank deposits, treasury bills or other short-term debt, depending on the fund. Our guide to money market funds in Canada covers the mutual fund versions of the same idea.
ETF data as of October 23, 2026
Updated weekly| ETF | What it holds | Annualized return | Cash paid in last 12 months | Yearly expenses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSU.UPurpose US Cash Fund | US-dollar deposit accounts at Canadian banks | 4.0% 5-year annualized | 3.5% | 0.17% |
| PSAPurpose High Interest Savings ETF | Bank deposit accounts and Canadian treasury bills | 2.3% 10-year annualized | 2.2% | 0.17% |
| MNYPurpose Cash Management Fund | Canadian money-market instruments | 3.6% 3-year annualized | 2.5% | 0.21% |
| ZMMKBMO Money Market Fund ETF | Canadian money-market instruments | 3.5% 3-year annualized | 2.4% | 0.13% |
| CSAVCI First Asset High Interest Savings ETF | Bank deposit accounts and Canadian treasury bills | 3.2% 5-year annualized | 2.1% | 0.15% |
Cash paid is trailing distribution yield: distributions over the last 12 months divided by the measurement-date price. It is not a promised interest rate. Compare trading costs, access and principal protection with a savings account or GIC; returns can change with interest rates.
HISA ETFs and other investment funds are not covered by CDIC deposit insurance, even when a fund invests in bank deposit accounts. Eligible deposits held directly at a CDIC member are insured up to set limits; our CDIC coverage guide explains them.
For most savers, a cash ETF is a convenience rather than an upgrade. It is useful inside a brokerage account, where it lets money wait between trades without moving back to a bank. For savings held anywhere else, a CDIC-insured high-interest savings account or GIC usually pays a similar rate with deposit protection and no trading costs. Giving up that protection buys little extra return.
Best Mixed Portfolio ETFs in Canada
These funds combine stocks, bonds or other assets and often rebalance automatically. Check the actual mix and diversification. A mixed fund can be concentrated: FIE, for example, focuses on Canadian financial companies.
ETF data as of October 23, 2026
Updated weekly| ETF | What it invests in | Annualized return | Yearly expenses | Risk rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FCNSFidelity All-in-One Conservative ETF | 40% stocks, 59% bonds and 1% bitcoin | 12.9% 3-year annualized | 0.39% | Low to Medium |
| FGROFidelity All-in-One Growth ETF | 82% stocks, 15% bonds and 3% bitcoin | 12.8% 5-year annualized | 0.42% | Medium |
| XGROiShares Core Growth ETF Portfolio | 80% stocks and 20% bonds | 10.0% 10-year annualized | 0.19% | Low to Medium |
| FBALFidelity All-in-One Balanced ETF | About 59% stocks, 39% bonds and 2% bitcoin | 9.3% 5-year annualized | 0.40% | Low to Medium |
| FIEiShares Canadian Financial Monthly Income ETF | 70% common shares, 20% preferred shares and 10% bonds; Canadian financial sector | 12.1% 10-year annualized | 0.74% | Medium |
More stocks generally means greater exposure to stock-market swings. Compare allocations rather than “growth” or “balanced” names. XGRO’s history began before its current mandate; older results need that context.
Best Commodity and Crypto ETFs in Canada
This category combines funds with large direct commodity or cryptocurrency exposure. They are grouped here for navigation, but gold and bitcoin have different drivers and risks. These funds can provide concentrated exposure to one asset and should be assessed separately from diversified stock or bond portfolios. Our guide to gold ETFs compares bullion funds such as CGL with funds that own gold-mining companies.
ETF data as of October 23, 2026
Updated weekly| ETF | What it invests in | Annualized return | Yearly expenses | Risk rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CGL.CiShares Gold Bullion ETF | Gold bullion, unhedged | 12.1% 10-year annualized | 0.55% | Medium |
| CGLiShares Gold Bullion ETF | Gold bullion with currency hedging | 10.5% 10-year annualized | 0.56% | Medium |
| KILOPurpose Gold Bullion Fund ETF | Gold bullion with currency hedging | 15.8% 5-year annualized | 0.23% | Medium |
| FBTCFidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF | Bitcoin | 37.6% 3-year annualized | 0.35% | High |
| BTCC.BPurpose Bitcoin ETF | Bitcoin | 7.0% 5-year annualized | 1.29% | High |
Only funds with at least three full years of history are ranked, so newer gold and crypto ETFs may not appear in this table yet. Compare the asset each fund holds and whether it hedges currency.
Canadian Bank, Dividend and Energy ETFs
Looking for a specific part of the Canadian stock market? The bank, dividend and energy funds below belong in the stock category. We name them to explain each exposure; they are not a separate ranking.
Canadian Bank ETFs
Canadian bank ETFs let you own the big banks in a single trade. HEB and ZEB both hold six large Canadian banks in equal weights, and HEB resets those weights each March and September. ZWB holds bank shares too, but it also sells covered calls on them. The option premiums help pay for its distributions, and in return the fund gives up some of the gains when bank stocks rally. Weigh the strategy alongside the income and the fees. If you would rather own the banks directly, see our comparison of Canadian bank stocks.
Canadian Dividend ETFs
Canadian dividend ETFs focus on dividend-paying companies. XDIV and VDY use different selection and weighting rules. Look at the companies, sector mix and total return as well as the cash paid out; a higher distribution alone does not make a fund better. To pick companies yourself, start with our list of Canadian dividend stocks.
Canadian Energy ETFs
A Canadian energy ETF such as XEG holds energy companies. Its performance reflects business results and energy-sector conditions. Owning producers and pipelines differs from directly tracking the price of oil. For individual producers and pipelines, see Canadian oil stocks.
Buying several funds with the same exposure may add overlap rather than diversification. For example, ZSP, VFV and XUS all provide S&P 500 exposure. Review the companies or assets behind each fund, not only the number of ETFs you own.
Hedged or Unhedged: Currency and Canadian ETFs
Many Canadian-listed ETFs that own foreign shares come in two versions. An unhedged fund lets exchange-rate changes flow through to you: if the US dollar rises against the Canadian dollar, your US shares are worth more in Canadian dollars, and if it falls, they are worth less. A hedged fund, often labelled CAD-hedged, uses currency contracts to remove most of that effect, so its return is close to what the shares earned in their own currency.
Neither version is better in every period. In the US-market pairs shown, unhedged funds had higher annualized returns and lower volatility over the stated 10-year periods. Exchange rates, hedging costs and fund structure can affect results. The comparison below shows the outcomes, but does not isolate how much each factor contributed.
ETF data as of October 23, 2026
Updated weekly| Exposure | Unhedged ETF | Hedged ETF | Annualized return 10-year annualized | Annual volatility 10-year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S&P 500 | VFV | VSP | 15.6% vs 13.6% | 16.1% vs 19.2% |
| S&P 500 | ZSP | ZUE | 15.6% vs 13.5% | 15.9% vs 19.2% |
| S&P 500 | XUS | XSP | 15.6% vs 13.5% | 16.0% vs 19.4% |
| US total market | VUN | VUS | 15.0% vs 13.0% | 16.4% vs 19.8% |
| Nasdaq-100 | HXQ | XQQ | 20.8% vs 18.6% | 18.7% vs 20.7% |
| Developed markets outside North America | XEF | XFH | 9.4% vs 10.5% | 14.7% vs 15.3% |
In each cell, the first figure is the unhedged fund and the second is the hedged fund. For XEF and XFH, over the past decade, the hedged XFH had higher returns, while the unhedged XEF had slightly lower volatility. The result can differ by market and period; currency hedging does not guarantee higher returns or lower volatility.
A hedged fund can suit an investor who wants to reduce currency movements on top of stock-market movements. Currency hedging reduces exchange-rate exposure; it does not remove stock-market risk or make a stock ETF suitable for short-term savings. Over long periods many investors accept currency exposure as part of owning foreign shares. Holding both versions of the same index adds no new underlying companies, but changes your currency exposure.

Income is not the same as return
An ETF can distribute dividends, interest, option-related income, gains or return of capital. A high payout does not necessarily mean a high total return. A zero cash distribution can also be intentional when returns accumulate inside the fund. Compare changes in the investment value as well as the cash paid out. If regular income is your goal, our list of high dividend ETFs in Canada compares payouts alongside total returns.
How we rank the ETFs
We compare established funds using the Sharpe ratio, which measures historical returns above a risk-free benchmark relative to volatility. We use each fund’s longest available complete record, rather than choosing the period with its best result.
| Longest available full history | History multiplier | Ranking score |
|---|---|---|
| 10 years | 1.00 | 10-year Sharpe ratio multiplied by 1.00 |
| 5 years | 0.80 | 5-year Sharpe ratio multiplied by 0.80 |
| 3 years | 0.65 | 3-year Sharpe ratio multiplied by 0.65 |
| Less than 3 years | Not ranked | Insufficient history |
The multiplier gives more weight to a longer record. It produces our adjusted ranking score, not a standard Sharpe statistic or a prediction. Funds use different observation windows, so their rankings can reflect different market environments. We do not average the three periods.

Ties use longer history, lower reported expenses, larger assets, then ticker. Each category uses the same rules and contains up to five leaders. The overall list contains up to ten.
The ranking excludes leveraged and inverse products, funds without three complete years of history, incomplete performance records and negative selected-period Sharpe ratios.
Beta, liquidity and the limits of the comparison
Beta is sensitivity to a benchmark, not a complete risk measure. We measure beta against the S&P/TSX Composite, even for funds investing abroad. A low beta can mean that a fund moves differently from Canadian stocks; it does not necessarily mean its value is stable.
Average daily volume shows the units traded per day on the listing exchange over the source’s 63-trading-day window. It does not capture all venues, the unit price, market-maker capacity or the liquidity of underlying assets. ETF liquidity should not be judged from that number alone.

| ZUQ | 0.57 | 7,781 |
Beta and trading volume are shown for context and have no scoring weight. Costs and size are also shown without separate weights: expenses are already reflected in performance, and this dataset is already a selected universe of large Canadian-listed funds.
What this comparison does not capture
The dataset may omit smaller funds and funds that closed. Older history can span changes in a fund’s strategy, and portfolio exposures can change after the holdings date. Provider risk labels are broad; a concentrated sector fund can have risks that are not obvious from the label. Sector classifications may differ between providers.
Historical rankings do not establish suitability, future performance, tax outcomes or the right allocation for an individual investor. Consider the role each holding would play in your overall portfolio.

Four-fifths in stocks means market drops will be felt. Foreign stocks are unhedged; only the foreign bond sleeve is hedged to Canadian dollars. Before December 2018 the fund followed a different multi-asset index mandate, so returns from before then do not reflect today's 80/20 portfolio.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Canadian ETF?
There is no single best fund for everyone. Start with the exposure you need, then compare the strategy, expenses, risk and history. Our overall ranking measures past risk-adjusted performance; the category tables make comparisons more relevant to different investment purposes.
How do I buy a Canadian ETF?
ETFs are bought and sold through an investment dealer or brokerage account. Check the fund’s ETF Facts, confirm the exact ticker and trading currency, compare brokerage charges on our list of trading platforms in Canada, then place an order. A limit order sets the highest price you will pay but may not execute. An advisor can also help with purchases and portfolio choices.
Can Canadians buy ETFs on Canadian stock exchanges?
Yes. Canadian-listed ETFs can be purchased through a brokerage or dealer that offers access to their listing exchange. A Canadian listing can provide exposure to investments outside Canada; listing location and investment exposure are different.
Is there a Canadian bank ETF?
Yes, several large Canadian-listed ETFs focus on banks. HEB and ZEB each hold six large Canadian banks in equal weights. ZWB owns bank shares as well but sells covered calls on them, which raises its income and caps some of its upside. The banks are much the same, but the results can differ quite a bit.
Are Canadian dividend ETFs better for income?
For steady cash income, often yes. Dividend ETFs such as XDIV and VDY hold companies that pay regular dividends, so they usually distribute more cash than a broad market fund. In a non-registered account, dividends from Canadian companies also qualify for the dividend tax credit, which can make them more tax-efficient than interest. The credit doesn't matter inside a TFSA or RRSP.
Some investors also argue that paying a dividend disciplines management: cash returned to shareholders can't be spent on poor acquisitions. The evidence on whether this improves long-term returns is mixed.
More income is not the same as better performance. Dividend funds lean heavily on banks, energy and utilities, so they are less diversified than the broad market. A large payout can also include return of capital. Compare total return as well as yield.
What is a Canadian energy ETF?
A fund such as XEG holds Canadian oil and gas producers, including Canadian Natural Resources, Suncor, Cenovus and Imperial Oil. Its returns depend on how those businesses perform and on conditions in the energy sector. That is not the same as owning an ETF that directly tracks the price of crude oil. XEG is also concentrated.
Are XEQT and VEQT stock or mixed portfolio ETFs?
Stock ETFs. Both hold only stocks, spread across several regional indexes, with no bond allocation. All-in-one describes the structure; the underlying assets decide the category.
Are cash ETFs the same as insured savings accounts?
No. Cash ETFs trade through a brokerage and can incur trading costs. HISA ETFs and investment funds are not CDIC-insured, while eligible deposits held directly at a member institution can be insured. Check access, principal protection, costs and the source of the fund’s return.
Why are leveraged and inverse ETFs excluded?
These products have different objectives and risk characteristics. Many target a multiple or the opposite of a benchmark’s daily return; their result over weeks or months can differ substantially from that simple multiple. They are outside this page’s main ranking.
