Geared vs Non-Geared ETFs for Long-Term Investing (20–30 Years)
I’m planning to invest for the long term — around 20–30 years — and I’m currently deciding between geared and non-geared ETFs. Specifically, I’ve been comparing GGBL & GHHF (geared) versus BGBL & DHHF (non-geared).
I’ve done a fair bit of reading to understand the pros and cons, and I’m leaning toward the geared options since I’m a strong believer in long-term market growth. I also understand that volatility will be part of the journey.
That said, I’m curious — in what situations would you choose non-geared over geared for a long-term strategy like mine?
Or would a mix (e.g. GGBL + DHHF) make more sense to balance things out?
