5 years later, is investing in CDRs worth it?

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!

Today, we focus on the tax moves that actually matter (and the ones that waste your time), especially if you're sitting on big unrealized gains in a non-registered account. The big takeaway: build your plan and investment strategy first—then optimize taxes, not the other way around.
