Vanguard FTSE Canada All Cap Index ETF (VCN.TO) seeks to track, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad Canadian equity index that measures the investment return of large-, mid- and small-capitalization, publicly traded securities in the Canadian market. Currently, this Vanguard ETF seeks to track the FTSE Canada All Cap Domestic Index (or any successor thereto). It invests primarily in large-, mid- and small-capitalization Canadian stocks.
An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a collection of hundreds or thousands of stocks or bonds in a single fund that trades on major stock exchanges. ETFs combine the diversification of mutual funds with lower investment minimum and real-time pricing. The beauty of ETFs is that they are extremely similar to mutual funds; the difference is you purchase these investments on your own with lower fees!
