Q: We have $50,000 we want to invest and leave alone for 3-5 years. We understand there is a good chance of a market correction, and unknown market volatility the next couple years. Would you suggest putting it into an ETF, and if so, can you give us 3 or 4 names to consider?
Or, a couple sectors, with company names, to purchase shares in. Thank you.

5i Research Answer:
For a fixed amount, with a relatively short time frame, we would prefer to stick with ETFs. XIC, ZSP. VIU and IWO would give we think a solid mix of exposure: US, Canada, International and small cap. For risk adverse investors we would weight IWO as the smallest position.
