Q: To balance my portfolio what bond etfs and other fixed income would you recommend currently, give CAD And US options?
I have accumulated quite a lot of USD from good returns and I am seeking to broaden my exposure to non US stocks (e.g. Europe) are you okay with buying the US equivalent ETFs or do you recommend converting back into CAD?

Q: Hello 5i team,
In several recent reports you recommended selling the full position in CPD, noting “better opportunities.” I also noticed that CVD and MFT were removed from your model portfolios earlier.
Given this shift away from preferred-share ETFs, do you think a combination of ZWU, ENCC, ZWB, and HTA would serve as a reasonably balanced substitute for a moderate‑risk, slightly income‑oriented allocation? Or would you suggest broader diversification?
Thank you for your insights!

Q: In one of recent reports you suggested to sell full position of CPD mentioning "better opportunities". I noticed that CVD also disappeared from your Income Portfolio as well (it is more explicable for me). Can you suggest potential alternatives for substitution of CPD / CVD considering relatively high dividends they pay and relatively low volatility? (may you consider ZMO or ZPAY... or something like that - kind of speculations :)). Thank you for great service!
