Q: I have heard some commentators talk about the possibility that the US could institute capital controls. How realistic do you feel this is?

For Canadian investors, how do we protect ourselves against this possibility?

Thank you again for this excellent service.

5i Research Answer:

Anything is possible but if there are any changes, there will likely be time to assess and make a decision. Overall, with a long-term view, we would expect the opportunity costs of trying to avoid something like this would be far greater than the actual impact felt (if any).
