— A note on holding“Think of this as a 5+ year commitment. Built for long-term compounding — and to ride out the dips along the way.”

02 — Price

The story so far.

Closing price for the selected window. The journey, not the moment-by-moment.

03 — Risk

Where it sits on the spectrum.

Broad equity ETFs are medium risk — diversified, but still equity exposure. Plan accordingly.

Globally diversified equity portfolios historically deliver 6–8% annualized with 10–25% peak-to-trough drawdowns in bear markets. Time horizon matters more than timing.

05 — Forecast

What the price might do.

Three simple models look at the past and guess where the price is heading. Each card shows the most likely price and a range it should land in four times out of five. If the box says "Probably noise", the model wasn't good enough to trust — we say so on purpose. Context only — not advice.
The model reads daily closing prices, not news. It refreshes once a day, right after the TSX closes (~4:30 PM ET) — so intraday headlines won't move these numbers in real time.

06 — Expected experience

What it feels like to hold.

Three realities long-term holders should be ready for — the good, the bumpy, and the boringly powerful.

— Drawdowns
Stomach the dips.
Broad equity ETFs can fall 10–30% in tough markets. The 2020 drop hit −34% in five weeks; 2022 ground out −24% over the year. The plan: don't sell.
— Recovery
They come back.
Past rebounds from major drops took 6–24 months on average. Severe bears (2008) needed about four years to set a new high. Time in market beats timing it.
— Compounding
$10k + a habit.
Start with ~$10k and add $500 a month for five years. At a 7% real return, you're looking at roughly $50–58k — without lifting a finger between paydays.
07 — Getting started

Three steps. About 15 minutes.

From zero to invested in under a coffee break, including the account setup.

01
Open a brokerage.
You need a brokerage account to buy ETFs. It takes a few minutes online — Questrade, Wealthsimple Trade, or IBKR all work fine.
02
Search the ticker.
In your brokerage, search for XEQT.TO for the TSX-listed version. Double-check the exchange and currency before you keep going.
03
Place the order.
Choose 'market order' during trading hours for the quickest fill. Or use a limit order if you have a specific price in mind. Review before submitting.
