Should I sell my XIU to buy XIC??

Post by THEMAINEVENT »

Now that iShares has dropped the fee on XIC, is it a no brainer for me to sell all the XIU I hold in registered accounts and buy XIC? All will be long term holds and I will be adding to the total a couple of times per year.
Thanks

That is what I would be doing in that specific case (registered accounts).

Aside from the cost savings, also makes sense if you want to include smaller cap names
