Q: Could you recommend a moderately aggressive portfolio suitable for a young person with a reasonably long time horizon (5 to 10 years)? Cash available is quite small at $2,500.00.

Today we harvested profits on SHOP and closed out two equity positions being held. We wish to still gain from above average growth however it is time to diversify and take on less risk.

Thank you

5i Research Answer:

We can't provide personalized portfolios and would defer first to our Balanced Model Portfolio.  However, with a limited amount of capital we would prefer an ETF to providw adequate diversification. We think VFV would provide growth potential and reasonable safety for a long term investor.
