About this episode

The episode revisits the value of investing in CDRs five years after their launch, discussing their benefits and hidden costs.

CDRs were pitched as a simple way for Canadians to buy U.S. (and now a few international) stocks in Canadian dollars—with built-in currency hedging. Five years after their launch, we revisit what CDRs actually are, what they do well, and why the "convenience" story often comes with a price tag investors don't fully see. If you're holding CDRs—or considering them—this episode helps you decide if they still make sense for your long-term plan. Download the FREE and Honest Guide to CDRs!
