Q: My company has a one year horizon before we need the money that is currently invested in stocks and for the better part are under water. We are currently sitting on 50% cash and would like to invest the money to try to make some capital gain to offset the losses. I know as we all know that one year is very little but we trust that the market will be higher in April 2024. Do you agree with that thesis and if so where would you invest money in order to keep a safe and optimal return? Please answer by percentage of where through index funds and secondly would you put time horizon to invest in slices or all in now?
Thanks for your precious help.

Q: Dear 5i,
If one were to hold VFV and VSP for an infinite period of time and assume MER's were the same and effects of currency were neutral.
Is it reasonable to assume VFV would outperform VSP by approximately 1% because of hedging costs? If not, can you help explain.
Q: Hello, would you be buying VFV or VSP for a long term hold for a passive investor? Does it really matter? Would you own one right now and rotate to the other in the future ? Thanks.
