Q: Good Morning;

I am looking for two ETF (preferred) recommendations that as a stand along investment product would include first, holdings representing a well rounded Growth portfolio (for a TFSA) and second, holdings reflecting a well structured Balanced portfolio for an FHSA. My preference for these products is because there is not enough money in either to create that portfolio of stocks and bonds, and I do not want to be trying to pick a solitary stock "winner". The holders of these portfolios do not have the time to learn investing at present, so this approach seems "easiest".

Thanks very much

Q: Writing in again because I keep hesitating about how to start a high growth all equity portfolio..

For context, I am 39 years of age, with a comfortable income, and planning on working about 25 years. This would be for retirement money.

You previously answered you would be comfortable with an SP500 index fund as VFV of SPY as opposed to an all in one equity fund such as VEQT or XEQT, from what I understood.

Can you please suggest a porfolio of 5 to 7 all equity ETFs that you believe to be superior to the all in one variety. I don’t necessarily care about the truisms about absolutely needing to be geographically diverse. And I certainly prefer to avoid Canadian home bias.

Thank you.

Q: Hi team,

Could you suggest a growth portfolio of EFTs for a TFSA, with an indication as to the degree of risk for each ?

Is it a good idea to have a TFSA all in ETFs ? Or what kind of mix (ETFs and stocks) would you suggest ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS
