Looking for a Canadian global market ETF without a bond component

I was averaging into VGRO not realizing it has a 20% bond. Is there anything like VGRO with 100% stocks?

There is also BMO ZEQT

I solemnly swear, to never assume I have an inkling at which direction the market will head, and to never make any investments based on a timing strategy.

I make my own
VCE + VDY
VOO + VFV
VIU

so I can adjust allocation to my liking, Plus the VCE and VFV part have lower MER (I hold VFV and VCE much more than VIU)

Vfv is 100% voo . (Sp500 )
The OP is asking about global . Not just sp500

What I mean was using those ETF to make a global ETF

E.g: 50% VFV, 30% VCE, 20%VIU In this case. If want complete CAD market coverage? Switch out VCE with VCN.
