Q: I listened to a CIBC webcast today outlining the fact international equities were cheaper then US and possibly Canadian equities based on P/E ratios and are expected to outperform US and possibly Canadian equities in the near term. Interesting sectors discussed were international infrastructure companies, defense, e-commerce and semi-conductors. Could you provide a few Canadian ETF's that would provide exposure to these themes and list you favourite?
Thanks

Q: For past several weeks, International markets have been outperforming US markets. Europe, Emerging markets and Japan seem to be the standouts. Financials, particularly have done very well. MSCI Europe Financial Index is up 25% compared to -2.5% for XLF. Do you believe that this trend is not going away soon and it would make sense to diversify a portfolio with addition of European Equities ?

If so, would be your preferred route ?

What is your view on Banco Santander and ICICI Bank and whether these will be good options and serve as good proxies for these economies and markets ?

Thank You

Q: Which is the better long term etf choice?
