Vanguard All-in-one asset allocation ETFs offer much needed simplicity, diversity and self-balancing portfolio with just 0.22% fees. ( Compared to 1-2% fees with mutual funds). These asset allocation ETFs have everything an investor needs in a single ETF.

All-in-one ETFs are funds of funds that offer global diversification across Canadian, U.S. and international markets, low fees and automatic rebalancing, meaning that investors don�t have to worry about re-aligning their portfolio to maintain their desired value split among different types of assets despite price fluctuations.
