Q: I've held PFZ for a long time in my RRSP (now RRIF) and my US account. The 10-year return is low. Is there an ETF that could replace this security in my US account and RRIF?
I'd like to improve the return and understand if there are any negative tax impacts.
Thank you.

Q: I own VHT (etf) in my $US account. Performance over the last 5 years has been approx. 6% compounded annually. Poor compared to tech or the S&P500 index or the DJIA. Given little opportunity to invest in health care sector in Canada, what investment alternatives would you suggest for health care? Or would I be better off exiting VHT and putting the money into other low-cost ETFs in the US like SPY, VOO, VUG ?

Thank you. IslandJohn
