Q: Looking to add a health care etf. Which one might you suggest? Would the major difference in performance between the XHC and the other 2 be the currency hedging?

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

Can a case be made to own both EXE and SIA in a RRIF? If only one could be owned, which one would you keep, and why?

Other holdings in the Healthcare Sector (across other accounts) include WELL, VHI, and XHC. CSH is also owned, but it’s in the Real Estate Sector.

As always, thanks for your valuable insight.

Q: Greetings…I’ve taken a 10% haircut on this ETF held for healthcare exposure. I could book the loss, but if I replace with another healthcare ETF inside of 30 days in your experience does the CRA have a problem with that? Also, some of the other ETF’s on the TSX look like they have fared even worse. Any ideas? (Trying to avoid holding one or two US companies individually)
