VEQT.TO vs VVL.TO
After reviewing the historic performance between VEQT.TO and VVL.TO (I am Canadian), I was surprised how similar they have been over 5-10 year periods, particularly with the last few years and the large gains experienced by tech companies with seemingly high valuations.
My expectation was that VVL.TO would have lagged behind, with a recent resurgence in the past ~1 year. Once I looked at the charts, VVL.TO has outperformed all periods with the exception of the 2 yr period:
As at EOD August 10, 2026
VVL.TO (MER = 0.38%)
10 yr = 166.16%
5 yr = 82.12%
2 yr = 49.92%
1 yr = 31.97%
6 mths = 13.25%
YTD = 21.14%
VEQT.TO (MER = 0.23%)
Since Inception (Feb 2019) = 145.92%
5 yr = 73.43%
2 yr = 51.58%
1 yr = 25.79%
6 mths = 12.38%
YTD = 15.75%
Is there any explanation for this? Why wouldn’t we #justbuyvvl? Any help, guidance, and insight is appreciated!
