Q: Mark Carney made quite the splash with his recent speech. He seemed to be saying the old economic system is broken and will not return. (we can no longer depend on the world's super powers to play by the old rules.) If he is right (I think he is) what 3 Canadian companies could benefit the most from this new reality? Also, this new paradigm being global, what three global ETFs could benefit the most? Thanks as always for your guidance.

Q: Dear 5i team.

I would like to look at a small investment in defence/war munitions sector companys or ETF. Can you suggest 3-5 names that cater to "War" efforts that can be considered a DIY ETF? As well, which ETF(s) would you consider for this exercise. Ideally one with the lowest BA %.
Finally, are these Co's trading at resonable valuations, or has this ship sailed, so to speak?

Many thanks for your help.
