Q: Hi, I’m starting to slowly invest outside of North America because Canada is a little too layed back, and government is not very aggressive, they would rather just tax us.( my opinion), and the U.S. is what it is right now, and markets do not like uncertainty.
I started with VIDY for now, but I see that about 20% is in Japan, I don’t think this is bad but it is quite a bit.
My question for future buying, is country specific that important? And could you list 5-6 countries outside NA that are your favourite to invest in.
Thanks

Q: Hi, I’m looking for 2 ETF’s suggestions, that is mostly out of Canada, as all my stocks are on the TSX. ( RY,ENB,BN,CSU,etc.) Looking at a mix of U.S. and other countries. Retired so has to be somewhat conservative with a 2%+ dividend while I wait. Could be a balanced etf for a little growth and safety. I was looking at TGRO, as an example, but maybe it is too much risk? your thoughts, thanks
Q: How do you feel about SIKA, a Swiss materials company? It can be purchased as a CDR (CAD hedged). It has an 8% CAGR for revenue and EPS for the last 5 years and pays a dividend of 2.5% at its current price of CAD$6.70. I am looking for quality international individual stocks and this looks like one.
Q: Hello 5i Team
I hold shares of Diageo (DEO) in my US$ rrsp account.
On February 25, DEO announced the dividend would be reduced.
DEO paid there dividend for the ADR semi-annually (i.e. April and October) and for 2025 payment amounts were approximately US$1.62 and US$2.52
1 - Did DEO convert to quarterly dividend payments ?
2 - Is there an indication of the total annual dividend payment for 2026 - not sure if DEO stated this in their press release however I am assuming it would be British Pounds.
3 - Is DEO a long term hold, given the reduced dividend ?
Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts please on these two, thanks.
Q: Follow up to John’s question regarding this etf: given the strength of south Korea’s economy would today’s drop which I think you agree is an over reaction be a time to add to this etf. I have held it for a few months and the performance has been great as you pointed out. So is the a “buy the dip” time?
Q: VEOEY What are your thoughts on ths company? Is it a buy?
Q: Does it make sense to you for an 18B ETF like EWY, which represents a country's index, to be down almost 13% in one day on a war that does not impact it at all?
Q: Does ZWE have a management fee .65% plus a MER .73% or just the MER ? Also is it a good fairly safe longer term buy and hold for income and diversification ?

Q: Hi,
I am looking at investing new cash and at this time wish to purchase non-US and non-Canadian companies. I know you don’t typically cover the non-North American markets but you have frequently commented on GRMN, NBIS and ASML.
Would you have any other suggestions for outside NA equities, regardless of sector, that represent good long-term potential total returns?
Thank you, Michael

Q: I have a fairly large chunk of US cash invested in a 'High-Interest Savings Account' which earns 3.15% interest. The interest has not kept up with the loss in value of the US dollar. Can you suggest a similar kind of investment based on Euros or Swiss Francs which can be purchased through TD Direct? Or do you have a better low-risk idea for this money? (I am pessimistic about both the USD and CAD keeping their value against other currencies.)
