What's a good index fund w/ over 10% return rate since inception that is available for Canadians?

I'm also looking for a low expense ratio and a minimum investment of less than $5,000 US

I was thinking one similar to Vanguard's S&P 500 index fund, I can't seem to find any similar on morningstar.ca and I've looked at 2 other ones but they too were US only.

Given Canada's exposure to commodities, natural resources and good banks, I think you're better off putting your US 5K into a CANADIAN index, not a US one (which I think you might be doing).

Look up i-shares (from Barclays), which trade in real time on the TSX like common shares, but represent various indices.

Look into gold, its always on the rise, and getting more rare!

Interesting question. What type of index are you interested in?

Go to http://www.moringstar.ca and you should be able to do a search based on your criteria.

There is no such thing.
