Q: Have an RRSP currently holding 2 bank positions (BMO and NA) that represent 11% of the portfolio Also hold XIU and XIC that total 15 percent of the portfolio and CDZ that is roughly 10 % of the portfolio.
Thinking of adding BNS or selling the two banks and buying ZEB. Which is better option given the other ETF’s ?What percentage holding in the banks would be appropriate?
Also should portfolio hold both XIU and XIC or should they be combined into one of the two. And if so how does this affect the direct holding in the banks? Perhaps not needed at all? Would appreciate your comments.Thanks.

Q: My financial holdings are TD, BNS, BMO, MFC and SLF. With the recent surge in the banks I am looking to rebalance back to a 50/50 split between banks and insurance companies. If you were to add a third insurance company, which would it be? Or should I add a non-bank/insurance company like BAM or X which is still classified as financial? I am only interested in large cap, dividend-paying stocks.
