Q: Dear 5i,
In your opinion. What developed market countries look attractive to you?
Assuming one can buy a Canadian or US listed ETF would you purchase a
currency hedged or non-hedged version? Some experts appear to be recommending Europe and Japan (Mr. Buffet). I have been a customer since you launched your service and I happily just renewed this weekend. I really appreciate your unbiased objective reports and answers.
thanks!

5i Research Answer:
We continue liking the US for long-term growth potential and other advantages. Next comes Canada and following that, we prefer to take a more diversified approach to 'developed' countries which include Japan and Europe. For the US, we prefer unhedged ETFs to gain currency exposure. For others, we would be indifferent and it depends on if that is something an investor wants to be exposed to. ETFs to consider are VEA, and VI.
